Dush73 Member 56 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 24/11/12 08:18 AM Share Posted 24/11/12 08:18 AM Hi guys,I'm looking into getting an Xcal 3, but probably NEW from a Tuner, but I was wondering why are we in AUS paying double for one of these when in the US you can get them for like half the price.....seems like the main distributor/licensee is making a packet on these? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dush73 Member 56 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 24/11/12 08:34 AM Share Posted 24/11/12 08:34 AM Ye I get that......my point is, same product = double price in Aus....not right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dush73 Member 56 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 24/11/12 09:32 AM Share Posted 24/11/12 09:32 AM Well someone is making a packet...unless the U.S like screwing us? Doesn't make business sense though.As I understand it.... if the tune is put back to stock on an existing vehicle with the Xcal, then the Xcal is unlocked/free to use on the next car, with 1 life less(5 in total)? Is that the jist of it? Or does it still need some form of unlocking? I thought they were VIN locked when your purchase one new from a Tuner/distributor?

Ever compared a Microsoft product retail price in the states vs retail here?We are getting screwed on more than xcals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
