SCT Xcal 2 Tuner Question?
I ordered the SCT Xcal 2 (has not arrived yet) and spent the past hour plus searching this site and the net, but still did not find a definitive answer. Can you adjust parameters on the Xcal 2?
According to the snippit on the site where I purchased it, you can (below). But I have read that the damn thing is basically usless unless your dealer sends you a tune. [:@] I was under the impression that you can upload customer tunes, or if you so choose, adjust various parameters like the Diablo Predator. If I cannot even make minor adjustments like gears or A/F, etc - I don't want the b!tch.... "The XCalibrator 2 has both end user adjustment and high speed data logging capability. Using the keypad, you can make changes to your timing, fueling, fuel injector size, and dozens of other parameters. You can also monitor and data log all critical parameters by both connecting the XCalibrator 2 to your PC and using the SCT Live Link software, or by using the built-in LCD display." |

ORIGINAL: josh_0351 Can you adjust parameters on the Xcal 2? You have to get a tune from a dealer, then you can adjust it on a computer, upload it to the XCAL, then by pressing buttons on the XCAL with it hooked up to your car you can reflash the cars computer (thats what they mean when they say you can adjust stuff by pushing buttons on the XCAL).. The XCAL will hold up to 3 different tunes at a time. However, it is a very powerful datalogging tool, and the dealer you get it from should give you a standard tune right away that you can mess around with. |

After your dealer tunes your car ask for the .xtr file for your tune, then at home you can
make some changes using extreme tune that you DL from sctflash.com. I love mine............. |

actually i thought you could, BUT you have to buy the software for it which is in the range of like $300+. I could be wrong but i think www.velocitymustangperformance.com or i think its www.vmptuning.com sells the software.

RE: SCT Xcal 2 Tuner Question?
go to the sctflash.com forums. they have a little bit of info
I believe they are releasing new firmware for the xcal 2 that will let you adjust everything |
RE: SCT Xcal 2 Tuner Question?
I went through the same thing. If your dealer programs it with the Adv 3.0 software and turns it on, you will have the adjustability.

When you get it, ask the dealer to give you a preloaded tune for xx octane gas and w/ xxx gears.. etc.. then work from there once you have the file. SCT kicks ass don't worry you made the right choice. |
