Sorry I didnt see this earlier. WARNING: I have not tried this with an X2. USE AT OWN RISK.

My X3/SF3 3015 gets canned tunes downloaded everytime it is updated on their site. I bought it in 2007 and it currently has 2008, 2009 and 2010 Tunes on it as well.

Use the following link:

Select Ford Xcalibrator 2 - P/N 9400 (Assuming this is your model)

WARNING: Use at your own risk. Not responsible if it causes any issues with your X2. Ive only used it with my X3/SF3 3015.

Quick SCT question: So if I get a new mustang, will my tuner be locked? Thus, for my new ride am I going to have to pay to get it unlocked before I am able to use it again??

Assuming you have some of your 5 "Locks" left and return your current car to the stock tune no. Each time you return the car to a stock tune it unlocks from its VIN. Each time you tune to a new VIN number it will use up a lock.

So basically as long as you return each car to stock when you sell it you will be able to go through 5 different cars before it will need to be sent back.

PS You can switch between stock and tuned on the same car as many times as you want without using up a "lock".

Thank you sir I always wondered about that, but never really thought to ask. All set now.

Pretty sure the X2 doesnt work that way, regardless, Im not gonna try it for a canned tune, waste of time.
