good summary there. but you have to remember that no matter what the product/ manufacturer/ seller, ALL are bound to certain hard written, if not ethical laws that the product they are selling will be servicable for the reasonable life of it. so if sct have stopped making version 1's for years, I guess they are not liable. so who is? I have not had mine for longer than 6 weeks, so as a consumer I have the right for some reinbursement/ refund from who I bought it off. it's my right. so poor mr xyz tuner are really going to cop the costs if a solution cant be found quickly to make older versions still tunable. annoying as it is, sct are no more liable than a car manufacturer would be if the fuel companys decided not to make petrol any more. their product would be just as useless. ever tried to get new parts for an older car from a dealer just to be told they do not make them any more? that happened to a friend of mine with a series 111 au xr8. no new rear bumpers in aust and ford dont make them. frustrating, but its ford's right ONCE the warantee period is over.... sct arent out to make friends, just $$$. and they are gonna do that just fine......
