Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 11/12/12 09:02 AM Share Posted 11/12/12 09:02 AM Xcal uses the SCT software to tune the car.. Plenty of other pieces of software that don't require a hand controller..However Pitlane will only tune a turbo falcon using SCT I believe..

Does not require AC mains nor runs off batteries as well.
