I need to datalog my car for an updated mail order tune. What I need to know is do I need both updates from the SCT site?

And do I load update 2 first and then 3? How do I know if my SCT Xca2 already has this updated stuff on it or not?

I have no idea, but i wanted to ask you how you like your tuner?

i would go ahead and update it anyway,then datalog. i personally haven't datalogged, so i don't know for sure. can't hurt to update first, though...

I like the SCT Xcal2, and they now have an Xcal3. The tuners that support the SCT stuff are good as well.

But there is a serious lack of support when it comes to reading datalogs. There should be a manual or some info out there for the novice user to figure out what his or her car is doing.

I want the Pro Racer package to tune the car myself, but I've got to find out if they have a decent user friendly how to manual to go with it before I buy it. I suppose once you learn how to tune on your own, it will save you a ton of cash down the road from going to shops for tunes.

This is what the SCT Xcal2 with Livelink looks like on the laptop screen....
