Posted 19/06/10 08:50 AM Share Posted 19/06/10 08:50 AM on the positive side of things, at least Rob goes out of his way to reply to all our emails within 24 hours and still is friendly. Ive dealt with him before and he is a top straight forward bloke.But sct can lick all our b@lls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about being f*cked in the ass.Get what you pay for? Like above I paid a lot, I think mine was $1295 and I bought it from Herrod too! Then tuning on top of that so I've paid enough already I think for a box I am using on the one car all this time.I don't flash my car much but was planning a tweak on my tune after a mod later this year, which will now cost me a lot more unnecessarily because of this sneaky, underhand tactic SCT have used on the tuning software.There has absolutely been nothing told to the public anywhere that support for X1 was going to be pulled. What was communicated was that we could use them as we have been as legit customers, which I am.SCT now call the Xcal1 an ancient 10 year old box which begs me to ask why the hell we got this unit here 5 years ago. Seems like they dumped the old product onto Australia, and who gets screwed over the most here? Us early adopters who paid so much in the beginning.Make no mistake I understand that my box now has no warranty and were it to fail I would upgrade to a new one, but it otherwise works fine and is perfectly suited to the car I use it on and bought it for so I would love to be able to retain the ability to retune my car with it as advertised.I emailed SCT last time this debacle occured and will do so again. The person I emailed then was rickt at sctflash dot com, who was the President back then.Basically as a person who paid a lot of good money for a product that still should work on my car this is less than impressive.

Sniper... Ummm can't remember the others... But they are still gonna cost a bit... Some you pay for unit and for each car you wanna tune it on (known as a bullet)...You'll probably HAVE (ie be FORCED!!) to upgrade to an SCT3...

They are artificially causing the scenario when I MUST upgrade to their latest product in order to use my box as intended. Yes it can still flash my car with the tunes in it, but it's no longer the TUNING box I purchased, which would otherwise be working today if not for them and their actions.
