Correct me if I'm wrong everyone, but I believe you can send it back to the company you got it from and they can program it for your new vehicle.

 

Yep, all CAN in the foreseeable future.

 

Thanks for the reply, I guess I have to call Troyer back now and order up my chip tomarrow.

 

You'll be happy. Where you at in MI?

 

Rochester area but I do go up around you in the UP snowmobiling alot durin the winter.

 

I just got transferred to Detroit, so I'll be headin down to your area. What's a good area to live?

 

Hi brbsta,

That's an excellent question - the reality is, nobody can say with 100% certainty whether anything that exists today is going to work on something that will exist in the future. Heck, if we could predict the future, we would have become billionaires long ago.

Today's Xcalibrator as it exists right *now* may or may not work on future vehicles - nobody could possibly know that now. Yes, we *do* think it will work just fine on the 2006 F-150 for example, once the 2006 F-150 tuning R&D is done - or the Xcalibrator might need a firmware update, for example - we just can't really know for sure until those future vehicles actually exist & we can test to confirm this.

The next standard that all vehicles must have by the 2007 model year, CAN (Controller Area Network), *is* already built into the Xcalibrator - it has to be in order for it to be able to work on 2004 & newer F-150's & other CAN FoMoCo vehicles already being built & sold now, even though CAN is not required by law until 2007. Future vehicles will have to be CAN by 2007, and that is already built into the Xcalibrator.

I hope that info helps - I saw on another thread where by now, you have already called & spoken to someone on our staff to get more info - thanks for calling, & congrats on your new 2005 F-150!
