Default RE: xcal 3 problem

Im talking to a sct guy now about the firmware. Works on every other car ive tried it on. When i try to datalog and it gives me the error message, all the guages on the dash go dead and then reset. If i pull the battery cable for 15mins or so, it will datalog for about 30 more secands than usual and then it goes right back to the error message.

Does anyone else get the feeling that everything works on others cars but not their own. I mean its just one thing after another, and i always have to find some half *** way to fix the problem. Im almost done with my car and what do ya kno...ive run into a problem that no one else has encountered. You know your screwed when theSCT Tech Support guy says, "ive never heard of anything like that before".

Well....i hope someone can help me.

There are instructions on how to hook the wideband up to the xcal 2 on justins site, but no instructions on how to hook it up to the xcal 3. Im still wainting on the tune from justin... I still havent heard back from sct tech support and the sct forums are down with a thread on there with someone who has the same problem.

no offense to Justin or VMP Tuning at all...i know alot of you guys have had great luck with them...but for the past several days I know Andy and I have been trying to reach Justin and almost every-time it goes to his voicemail...not getting any sort of response from SCT or VMP at all...i'm sure there is a valid reason for this (i hope) but I know Andy would appreciate some sort of communication / help...i'm sure you guys can understand the impatience of driving around w/ a ProCharger under the hood and not being able to use it, hahaha...
