Straight from my SCT XCAL2 manual....
"Can the XCAL2 read codes from any FORD vehicle?"
Yes.

It doesn't mention other cars though.

It will read codes from any OBD-II Ford vehicle. And I believe it will read codes from manufacturers that Ford owns such as Mercury. I think every manufacturer has their own set of codes and I'm pretty sure the tuners only read Ford codes (unless you buy a tuner specifically for a GM vehicle, then it will read GM codes, etc, etc).

yup. It will read anything from Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Land Rover From 97-Up.

Tell your friend to beware, if he plugs this scanner into his Hyundai it will transform in to a 1989 Ford Probe...
