X-cal 1 To Become Useless?

[iTec]

pretty sure it just has to have a tune in it, and not be blank.. geriatric or custom either is fine.

that's what I thinks the case too.....

I just wanna hear it from Herrods or SCT's mouth before I let my mate know hes got a $600 doorstopper.

Better get your mate to ring them.

I think if it has generics it will be fine, as it will be vin locked once he uploads the tunes.

Like I said ealier their wording leaves a lot to be desired, so to be safe call them.

JUST TO CLARIFY EVERYTHING!

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this reads, your x-cal 1 box will work fine, but you can no longer tune your x-cal1 connected to your car, you can only update them however??? update what??? but if you want a tune (tune sale) you have to buy a x-cal 3??? it's all in the wording, sounds like they still have you by the danglies.

If you already have an Xcal1 box that you have been using on your car you are fine, your tuner can still use it to tune your car. If you havent got an Xcal1 and you want to tune your you must buy a Xcal3 to do so. Simple really.

However, despite the systematic abuse it suffers, my memory isn't all that short...

These *beep* have done their dash afaic.

I'll be lookin' elsewhere if/when I upgrade from my X-cal1.

I'm pleased but not grateful.

I just got my x cal1 today order from capa, its a blank box as I will be getting a custom tune straight away, I called capa just then and they said its fine dosnt matter blank or not depends on whether your tuner has chosen to update with them

CAPA were the old AUS distributor & are the ones in hot water atm. I wouldn't buy a flash box off them if I were looking...
