i wasnt really planning on buying a flash tuner anytime soon, but my stupid obd2 code reader took a dump. i got my full refund of $300 back from the store and now im wondering. should i just buy a tuner instead?. id love some feedback from people who have actually bought them. also, can a flash tuner read, and clear codes on all obd2 cars. or will it just work on my mustang? thanks for the info.

you can use the Xcal to read the codes on Obd2 fords, and erase the CELS. But when it comes to tuning the vehicle it is married to the car. So it only changes the tune for the car it is coded to.

I love mine. www.lasotaracing.com You just cant beat them.

Admins have to change it now, we used to be able to, but we all went crazy with name changes...

I used my Xcal to read codes for other people all the time.

Any Ford, they all have different connectors.

every single obd2 car has the same connector. from jetta's to toyotas to dodges, OBD2's are the same. obd1's are all different.
