other than the hardware needed to tune, you shouldn't need anything else.

VU is the Ute version of VX, so will be flashed base ECU.
From VY onwards they were all called the same.

Is the hardware required for this just the cable in the case of these flash based models?

I could not find a clear answer as there are so many.
