OP.

You can, perhaps, still buy an Xcal2 new?: http://www.vmptuning.com/store/index...parent=66&pg=1

EDIT - nope - looks like you will get an X3 if you order an X2, ... note to self - read the fine print

BUT - seeing as it's the same price as an Xcal3, which actually has better specs and a future (Xcal2's won't support newer vehicles), it make no sense to buy one at this point unless it's a screaming deal - (note that residuals on an Xcal2 used are around $50-$100).

Custom Tunes from VMP are ~$60 each, or less, if you buy 2 or more.

Ensure any used device you buy is UNLOCKED, or it will not be worth it - unlocks are expensive.

Finally - be aware that you will have no warranty or support.

Good luck.

Hope my custom tunes help more than Wat. Comes on it. Made truck slower by not letting it drop down to 2nd. So far not too enthused.
