After you have connected to ecm go to custom setting and set rom mapping to 0000 - ffff ,click get bin tab , if youve done it right you will definitely get a 64 kB bin .The bin you posted is not vr man id say its another half bin.

I use the tech-1 calibration data to ID the tune so maybe the tune you have has had this modified. If its in a VR auto PCM it will be 64k so use the custom mapping option and disregard the manual ID stuff.

EDIT: FlashTool V130 now asks if manual or auto when it detects a VR is connected. Using the tech-1 calibration its not possible to ID the trans type and then the PCM memory mapping.
