I came to the car to see if my device is married to the car and this is what I got.

I wonder what changed? The Xcal2 still shows up as an option in my software. I was able to load tunes on it before, but it wouldn't connect to my car. It acted line it waa still locked to my old car. Which it wasn't.I don't think you understand what I wrote. You can only use that handheld to datalog with. Tuners can not write tunes for that device any longer.
So if you plan to tune the car at all, you need a new device.

Whats is better than SCT for the terminator.SCT doesn't support that model anymore. Tuners will not be able to make you a tune for it anymore. Sorry, thats part of the fun of dealing with SCT.
Some people say yes other no damn.
I tuned an Xcal2 car the other day. Works just fine.
I did that and the answer I got was, We don't support that device anymore.Since you are getting mixed answers why don't you talk to SCT yourself and post up what they tell you.
They are very responsive, you can get a straight answer in seconds with their online chat tech help.

Nice, I been trying to get you to tune my car for months already lol, you told my once to do it any Saturday but never got a call from you. I'll send you another text so you know who I am. I would like for you to tune my car.I tuned an Xcal2 car the other day. Works just fine.
I really don't want to spend money if I don't have to. I'm waiting for my second baby son and am short on $LOL, nice. I figured they still worked! You were going to send me a tune the other day and didn't say a word about xcal2's not working. Bad info on this thread
OP, you're fine with what you have.....datalogging AND tuning. No need to upgrade $$$ if you don't want to
Bad info on this thread
Supporting the device and being able to use it to transfer tunes is two different things. Support means if the device goes bad for whatever reason they won't fix it. But as long as the device is good it can be used to transfer tunes.It's not bad info, if SCT themselves said they no longer support the device.

Since you guys are more familiar with these tuners then I perhaps you can answer this for me. These newer tuners, do they write directly to the ecu? My car came tuned, but it is an older setup that is piggybacked off the service port on the ecu.
SCT uses a hand held device to transfer the tune from the computer to the car. HP writes directly to the ECU, but doesn't support our cars yet. Whichever tuning software cj428 uses writes to directly to the ECU I believe. But I'm not sure which software that is.

It's plugged into the OBD II port and the tune is loaded that way. You don't have to leave it plugged in once the tune is loaded.So the SCT-4's have a module that gets programmed and hooked into the service port also? Mine is an SCT, but it is super old.
