Default Xcal adjustability

Does anyones xcal2 have the end user adjustability that was advertised. I just got mine today and I am very disappointed. For something that advertised it does so much, it doesnt do didly.

Only lets me load premade tunes. It has no end user adjustments. It said you could change a whole lot of different things from the screen, but I cant do anything.

I was looking into getting an Xcal2 and believe it or not, none of the stuff is user customizable yet. They say it will be available in a "later firmware upgrade" but they do not give a release date on this... till then you're SOL unless you return it.

Edit: It says it on their site... I forget where it is on the site exactly... on the information page for the Xcal2 I think. In the small text of course.

I bet you all know I'm fan of aftermarket ECUs and hater of OEM ECUs. It's like Windows VS Linux in a way. I'm laughing my pants off watching you dudes trying to tune using that thing. LOL.

No worry, a well designed aftermarket ECU is on its way, with easy installation and full 100% tunability.

One thing I could make use of here, is if you have some sort of software or data that come with xcal. Like a firmware for the ECU. I could grab that data and use it as base map for my engine, if it has enough information. Let me know if it has something like that.
