X-cal 1 To Become Useless?

[dmosconi]

If SCT are really using this as a scare tactic and do reactivate the x-cal1 boxes to make there point loud and clear, if you did not own either x-cal 1 or 2 would you really consider buying one or even buying the x-cal3 knowing that this could all just happen again in 12 months once their sale numbers for the x-cal 3 reaches a set profit level and they start developing the x-cal4.

I don’t own one yet and was around 4 weeks from going for the big mod session, now SCT won’t be getting my business, bad move guys I have always said, if you do something good, a few people might hear about it, but do something bad and every one will go out their way to make it known!!!

It is a good profit spin however, anyone want to get together and develop a flash system, we only need to be in business for a few years, make a few bucks, turn off the software and go live in the Bahamas, if SCT can do it why can’t we??? lol...

Well after a long 3 days I finally have the news you all wanted . I have been in constant discussions with Charlie and Rick from SCT and they have agreed to turn on all the dongles to all the tune shops as of now !.What we do need is if you have a tune shop that you use get them to contact Rob or Chris Herrod on 0394645100 or email support@sctflashtuning.com so as we can collect all the information we need as these tuners need to be registered with the SCT as of now. Previously these tuners dongles were licenced to CAPA and SCT does not have a file on who even tunes with the SCT product .All the emails that SCT sent out were from our data base and I am sure we dont have everybody .SCT have agreed to turn the dongles back on to everybody for a two week period and those dongles that are not registed will be turned off again so its real important to get them to contact us so as we can get the information to SCT.

Moving forward with X1 things will go on as it did prior to the dongles being turned off and over the next couple of weeks we will come up with a phase out program that will give you all plenty of time to get your tunes sorted out

SCT would never had done what they did if they were not sure that piracy was going .

If you have an X cal 1 we will be putting together a program avaliable from our dealers to upgrade to X cal3 .

WE are the Australian and NEW Zealand Distributors check out our web site www.sctfashtuning.com

All of your posts help send the message to SCT and I thank you all very much.

cheers Rob Herrod

Happy days

I dont see how anything has changed. They are still phasing them out. I bought my flash unit from a lic dealer/tuner on the basis I could change cars upto 5 times and have the ability to have custom tune loaded at anytime without there being a timelimit

over the next couple of weeks we will come up with a phase out program that will give you all plenty of time to get your tunes sorted out

how long is the phase out period. The previously stated 90days?

EDIT: Found this on other forums

AU's are covered on the X3. We are working on a solution for all X1 customers but will not drop you even after the 90 days. All that we ask is that you work together with your SCT dealers.

So Xcal1 owners are still raughted

[our06t]

I could deal with it as long as give say 6mnths for cal1 that way if your planing mods you know when your up for a new one ,but I have had mine for 2 years and I guess people who have had them less than that would still be pissed

herrod and charlie are on ff right now

Yeah I definately see this as mere wording changes to 'placate the masses'

Phasing the xcal 1 boxes out deliberately is what started this whole mess and there still doing exactly that, only now with a little sweetener to get you to spend more money on SCT product.

I dont want a Xcal3, Im happy with my 1 and after this dont want to fund your companies poor ethics.

If they make it a decent discount to upgrade to the new boxes it'll work...but I dont see that happening.....

So who is the Australian SNIPER distributor?
