Xcal 1 Going Offline Discussion

[Redback]

And you should be really proud of making a quick buck eh?

Yeh mate im extremelly proud. I'll PM you my address and you can send me a trophy. Thank you for your 2 cents worth.

Guys just remember that the crook here was SCT. They cost me money as they have with you. If the buyer who bought the box off ebay says he didn't know it could be custom tuned even though I stated to check this I'll be happy to refund him his money. I have no problem with that.

Now you guys can keep commenting on this thread but I'm out.....If you are all that keen on getting your point accross to me you have my number listed on here.

you have just openly addmitted you have sold a unit that is defective and unable to be used legally.

You have gained money by deception so guess what you have rip of a customer.

I wonder what the fair trading mob will think about it.

Ian how the heck did I deceive the buyer??? Please explain because I'm tired of going over this! Read the add!

I said to "check with your tuner if tuning software is still available". I said this because there are still dodgy tuners able to tune these. So if someone can't read what they're buying your problem! If I mentioned nothing about this then I can see your point guys.

Devils advocate ( as usual) I could make and win a case for deceptive and misleading advertising with the ACCC.

Do you want to take me on? next!

"caveat emptor" buyer be aware

I havent read the add, but if it clearly outlines what the Xcal can and cant do, than I dont see the problem. Everyone knows that buying on ebay has a degree of risk.

SCT should be punnishing those who have done wrong buy them, not EVERYONE!! I remember buying my Xcal 1 from CV Performance, had a group buy goin and got it for $750.. Not doin that again, SCT have lost a customer..

here Mika:

"Vehicle been returned to stock tune and tuner comes with instructions. If available you may need software from CAPA to enable it to be used on your vehicle. Please ask your tuner if tuning software is still available. See point C below, or log onto www.capa.com.au for more details. Item is in working order and sold as is."

[GOLDIE]

And that is the point nowhere do you state that sct have shut these down or that for someone to use it they would need illegal software to do it.

You have not told the prepective customer the truth all you have done is make them think it still works.

Mate SCT has not shut down these boxes. Only the custom tuning software! And you don't need illegal software to use the tune box. Have you used one of these yourself or you wern't even competent to do that. Let me guess you took it to a mechanic to flash? Get your facts straight and your finger out of your .... You do not need Illegal software to flash a generic tune! If you bring me your car I will flash generic tunes on it. Then what are you going to say. Oh the the box does work to flash generic tunes and the penny will drop dodo. Now if tuning software to tune this has gone down the drain then it is the consumers fault in which I clearly warned against to check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't understand this mate then you need to keep your comments on this topic to yourself.

You have know idea mate not only did I use one of these I was one of the first to mod an xr6t.

You need to understand to even put a so called generic tune in these you need the software to do it.

This software was shut down by sct each tuner that used it had so many times they could use before they had to update the software from sct this has now been shut off.

So to load anytune either custom or generic you need software.

If someone is doing it they are using illeagle software.And there is why sct shut it down because people have been using illeagle software.

You need to understand that you have juped this customer into thinking it works like it used to but it does not.

I will also add that I have been a mechanic for over 30 years I will also add I have worked for ford over half that including winning top technican twice.

mate you need to try better than that to out witt and out smart alot of people on here.

Ian

ps pm genebaby the tuners who are doing the tuning so he can add that to the accc case he has going it will help us all.

Peddling generic tunes then GTFO
