Needs to be connected to the car it's married to and returned to stock so it can be unmarried. Best buying 2nd hand from known source. I got a second hand xcal2 for my FG (manual) from RDP as I already had bought a near new one from eBay, was locked so not worth the drama !! Know source or new.

When I sold an xcal 2 to somebody I plugged it into my car and showed them that it was stock. (I think it said status: stock and for tuned it said status: aftermaket).

sct911 Member 848 Member For: 12y 2m 11d Gender: Male Posted 21/11/13 05:45 AM Author Share Posted 21/11/13 05:45 AM ended up buying one on ebay for $400, just received it and it says 'device unmarried' under device info. I went into cutom tunes menu and it has valet, 8psi and 10 psi options, is it safe to try the 10psi tune for 30min then go back to stock? my car is a 2010 stock fg xr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something doesnt sound right eg ping or knock, back off immediately. Make sure you have a fresh tank of 98.but dont say I didnt warn you lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
