SEMA 2013 :: SCT Releases The New X4 Programmerhttp://www.svtperformance.com/forum...sema-2013-sct-releases-new-x4-programmer.htmlhttp://www.svtperformance.com/forum...sema-2013-sct-releases-new-x4-programmer.htmlhttp://www.svtperformance.com/forum...sema-2013-sct-releases-new-x4-programmer.html

​

Hot off the press from SEMA 2013; SCT has released their brand new hand-held programmer, the SCT X4. In early 2014 the X4 will be replacing the current industry standard, the X3. SCT’s X4 adds many new features and greater functionality compared to the current model, including: a new compact design (5.5” tall x 2.6” wide), full color LCD screen, WiFi connectivity, 2 analog inputs, ability to hold 10 custom tunes, as well as a more ergonomic interface (aka, better buttons).

Pricing has not been released at this time, but we did get a chance to play with a few prototypes in SCT’s booth at SEMA 2013. I really liked the newer, more modern, design that still retains many of the familiar X3 styling cues. The color screen has very nice resolution, which should make using it as a gauge or performance monitor quite appealing. Overall I think it will be a great successor to the X3 that so many of us have come to rely upon as our go-to device for custom tuning. I plan on trying to get my hands on one of the prototypes this week to get a closer view of some of the features, and I’ll be sharing it right here on SVTP. Until then, be sure to check out our coverage of SEMA 2013 starting later today.

very interesting. is there still an option to use USB for the data logging?

Looks good. I like the cosmetics over the X3. Hopefully the unit doesn't draw the same or more electrical current off the USB port. The occasional laptop blue screen from plugging in an X3 on the bench helps my X2 retain its value...

I wonder if will work on a cobra without making the gauges sweep all over the place like the pos x3 does? Currently still using an X2 cause of this.

Damn, I just purchased a x3.

 

[Eatonualive281]

What's the word on this? When can I buy it? Haven't seen any updates on it lately.

 

[Franchi]

Mid March I believe.

 

[mjohns930]

Mid March I believe.

Do you have a source you're getting that info from. I just can't find anything on the internet.

BTW, thanks.

 

[mjohns930]

In case anyone cares:

I preordered one of these from a site listing 7 March as the ship date. It didn't go out on the 7th, which wasn't a huge issue as I'm not in a rush, and I called the vendor which told me the preorders are shipping from SCT to the distributors on Monday and then to the customers from there. So I am hoping to have it sometime in the next two weeks.

 

[SID297]

I talked to SCT this weekend. The X4 will be shipping any day now.
