I ask this because there is a great saving. there on special at $330 and air mailed here with the dollor strong it will cost you $379 to your door. I can only ask adn try as they retail here for 750$-1000$. I just read this massive talk about a guy trying to get his to work on his focus it seemed at first he was getting someone were but then failed. im due to buy one so if someone can direct me on this would be great because im new to it all and im sure I wasent the first to have the same idea and thoughts about it.

So these units from the USA will not work with your falcon, you will need to buy one here in Australia for the rrp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do they justify that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big mark up I say. I'm sure there is a way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis Member 231 Member For: 14y 9m 4d Gender: Male Posted 12/05/11 11:21 AM Share Posted 12/05/11 11:21 AM Do many ppl on here use vcm? Or is everybody still paying sct? I was going to go sct but couldn't justify spending double the money for nearly same thing! And my bro had one of the sct 1 boxes so all of a sudden it couldn't be tuned and they wanted another 700 even though he already payed 700!

Like you said it's the preferred device for tuning by any decent tuner so what can you do...There is...go to other tuning software :(:( Edited 12/05/11 12:16 PM by hiddeous Quote removed use add reply or fast reply when replying to the post directly before yours!
