Default RE: x-cal 2

Just thought I would save some people the annoyance I'm going through with the X-Cal2. FYI - Right now it doesn't do anything that they say it does. It's only an X-cal1 in a new box. They're coming out with new software for the dealers within the next couple of weeks (or so they say) and with that the tunes they send you will be changeable (and you will have to get a new tune sent to you if you already bought an X-cal2). If you want to change anything now you have to use the tuning software download they have and get them or your dealer to email you tune since you can't pull them off the X-cal2, change it on your computer and then download it to your X-cal then your car. If you want to change it more you'll have to start all over from the tune they sent you and up the parameters more.
Hope you don't have this guys prob, thats one of the reasons why im hesitant to order any tuners until I get more information about all of them. So far the Predator from Diablosport seems like the one I am going to get, with the C&L.

How old is that post you quoted? MM&FF recently (April) used an XCAL package for all their tunning on an 05 GT and didn't mention any problems.

The MMFF work was done back in January or thereabouts... takes a long time to make it into print.

from what i have heard, they have been having a few problems with the x2 from the factory but there are updates and fixes coming out nearly daily that fix the problems...such as, you can load a program on your car but cant put it back to factory...but they have a fix for that already too. works fine with the updates

I wonder why they came out with an x-cal 2 so fast?
