Are the computers on a 2005 mustang gt the same as on my 02 gt? im looking at buying a sct xcal2 from a guy.. just trying to make sure it will work on my car..

Racinjason81 · August 8th, 2007, 10:48 PM

not even close.the pcms are completely different

06RedfireGT · August 8th, 2007, 10:48 PM

no. the new comps are much different.

06Stang · August 8th, 2007, 11:39 PM

I thought they just needed to be reprogrammed

whtpny · August 8th, 2007, 11:49 PM

i thought someone said that the new stangs computers didnt change till like 06 or something.. do u guys think that it will still work w/ my car or probably shouldnt chance it?

The S-197 uses the Spanish Oak computer and it's different.

06Stang · August 9th, 2007, 04:09 AM

True. If you read on most sites they say that the tuner is the same but its programmed for each car. Maybe you can download the right software for it?

You can use the sct xcal2, but first you have to get it 'unmarried' from the 02 PCM. A tuner can do that for you, or SCT themselves will do it as well.
Usually it costs 50 bucks or so.

i emailed the guy about it and he said "It won't work on your car. This one has to be on an '05 or newer car. Thanks for the interest." i figured that it probably wouldnt matter if it was unlocked

L33T · August 9th, 2007, 07:43 AM

Ok I read that backwards sorry.

I thought you had an 05 and was buying the xcal from an 02 owner.

whtpny · August 9th, 2007, 03:31 PM

nah.. :-/
is the consensus that it will not work with my car?

L33T · August 9th, 2007, 04:13 PM

It depends on the part number.

If it's a SF 9415A it will work on your 02 Once you remove the VIN lock.

If it's a SF9415B it is not supported for your year vehicle.

Both of those are considered an 'xcal2'.

how do i tell which one it is? how will the guy who has it be able to tell?

07gtmustang · August 9th, 2007, 04:38 PM

you would just be better of getting one that works on your car

according to the links that l33t found, the SF 9415A will work with my car. so i figure why not try to save some money

stanglifemike · August 9th, 2007, 06:21 PM

If it says "Scan Flash" on the bottom it will work for your car. If it says "Xcalibrator2" then it will not. They look the exact same except for the sticker near the bottom. A scan flash will even work on F-series trucks including diesels.
