X-cal 1 To Become Useless?

[GreendogF6]

Good to see common sense has prevailed. As a xcal1 owner though I will be looking at sniper in the future if I upgrade as I believe this all may happen again. Once bitten twice shy...

JUST TO CLARIFY EVERYTHING!

For all of those out there questioning the life-span of the XCal1, this is the news you’ve been more than waiting for!

In previous forum entries, we have noted that what we need is if you have a tune shop that you use, get them to contact Rob or Chris Herrod on +61 3 9464 5100 or email support@sctflashtuning.com so as we can collect of all the information we need as these tuners need to be registered with the Herrod/SCT as of now…

Now, this is the part that should make EVERYONE out there happy.

So long as these tune shops contact us ASAP on the details above, those who do will be able to update the XCal1 for as long as they have customers needing updates... So, if you CURRENTLY own and use an XCal1 unit then you are fine and have nothing to be concerned about. Nothing has changed for you at all, you have lost nothing... As long as your unit has already been tuned to your car, you are fine. We are supporting currently tuned XCal1 units.

This being said, all new tune sales from here on will need to be done on the X3 (if your chosen tuner doesn’t have any stock of the other units), as again, components are no longer available to repair the XCal1 or add future years to them.

In relation to unlocking XCal1 units, the ability to unlock the XCal1 is being retained so long as the unit has been put back to FACTORY STANDARD (Meaning the car it was in, has been put back to standard).

If it hasn’t been put back to factory standard, then it’s all over! It is ILLEGAL to unlock a unit that hasn’t been as it is not the intended use of the product. In this case, the unit will remain, as it always should have, locked to the car that it is currently until it expires. This means that no boxes will be able to be reset! You can't put a tune in one car, have it unlocked and tune another! Doing so is ILLEGAL!

This I’m sure will put EVERYONE at ease now and prove that there is nothing to be concerned about.

Trading is as normal for your chosen tune-shop and others alike!

yeh but after looking into sniper it really does look like a better optoin especially for guys who like to play the commando set up gives you way more options than the xcal 3 , I may get one more tune with my xcal1 but a'm saving for the sniper set up as well

If you purchase the SCT Racer Pro tuning software you will be pretty inpressed with the tuning options available.

Problem is you need to know where to purchase from as I know Capa wouldn't sell me it, so I went elsewhere.

I just been on CAPA/SCT web site and they are still advertising the X-cal 1 or sale????

[bda12pleaseu]

I prompt all of you out there to send mail to.

People with blank Xcal1 boxes(ie, no generics) should contact Herrod, as their quote in the above post states, currently tuned boxes are not effected.

They are questioning those blank boxes as suspicious and if you have one it might be useless, so please call them.

I purchased mine from a forum sponsor almost two years ago and haven't used it yet. I have a tax invoice so according to Herrod I will be ok, so

do yourselves a favour and call them. It is ridiculous that people who have bought Xcals and have not used them, be it because you are waiting for warranty to elapse

or just buying your bits slowly, to be singled out in such a manner.

Wording must be closely scrutinised nowadays.

What about people running generics?

a mate of mine just bought and installed the Generic 10psi tune, purchased from KPM adelaide just 3 days before all this bullcrap started.

what he wants to know is:

because his flasher isnt "tuned" yet, its only running capa generics... does that mean he can still in future get CUSTOM tuning done when he buys more mods??

or does the xcal1 need to have CUSTOM tunes saved to it to keep future services to SCT ??

Thanks guys.
