Filopastry Member 49 Member For: 17y 9m 10d Location: Sydney Posted 23/04/07 07:31 AM Share Posted 23/04/07 07:31 AM Im pretty nooby (that stupid is me) but capa flash tuner can be used on more then one car (five I think someone said)Does this mean that everytime you use it on a different car it resets itself? I have an xr6T and my dad an xr8. I am trying to convince him that a capa flash tuner will improve his car (and thus split the bill )Would this be possible? If so how would I go about it?

You could need a reset if you want to have the latest factory tune loaded on the box after Ford flashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be able to use the custom tunes on his car from the flasher?Iam asking this as I am thinking of up grading to the Xcal2.Would I be able to load my custom tunes to the Xcal2 from the flash tuner?What would be a fair price for my capa flash tuner?
