Daniel Member 299 Member For: 21y 3m 30d Gender: Male Posted 26/06/10 12:01 AM Share Posted 26/06/10 12:01 AM (edited) It has? Where/how/when? That's the point that's got everyone so pissed off, there has been no prior announcement just an email from the distributor saying "oh by the way, last night we disabled the Xcal 1"Hey tabI concur, it was seemingly shutoff at the flick of a switch, but I know that some of my previous tuners were under the impression it would one day soon be redundant. This plus the fact 12 to 18 months ago (going by memory) there was some strong, serious talk of no longer supporting Xcal 1; it wasn't just rumors being thrown around.I have found that the good honest tuners have been straight up with me regarding the Xcal 1, even suggesting I either upgrade or consider it in the future while they become more and more unstable; suggesting one day there had to be a knee-jerk reaction to their ongoing support.The fact I didn't jump on the Xcal 3 when I was warned shows I'd rather not have upgraded without the need, but again I cannot sit here saying "I never seen it coming" or that I wasn't warned or prepared for this decision down the track.Cheers- Edited 26/06/10 12:04 AM by Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not make it right, it just was a forwarning for anyone not to buy the XCAL1 & 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I am not pleased at whats happened but for me it's not so bad I will probably just update to a xcal3, I am young and have money to burn, but if the issue is resolved I will be more then happy to keep my xcal1. But I convinced my mate a few months ago to buy a xcal1 for cheap and get his ute custom tuned, which he hasnt got around to doing yet due to money issues, so now I had to call him up and say you know that little black box I convinced you to buy that would release the inner magic of your xr6t...yea...about that...um its good for f**k all now.

I can afford to upgrade but I hate the fact that I cant invest the extra cost into other go fast bits etc....sucks balls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
