Exclamation XCAL 2 Problem

So i just loaded up my xcal 2 tune and i wanted to turn off traction control permanantly but when i went to my custom tune there were no user adjustable options available. WTF? I want to turn off traction control and pretty soon i'm installing gears so i will need it then. What do i do to get my user adjustable options. I went everything and saw no user adjustable options anywhere. What do i do; help!!!!

The traction control off option has to be included with your tune...welcome to the club...the "We learned too late" club...

if you messed around with the tune on your computer, you lose all the user adjustability crap, who tuned it?????
BTW you can just turn it off with your finger... if you want

Yeah i know i can change the tune when i put in gears but you know it costs money to buy a new tune and one of the reasons i bought the damn xcal 2 was because it supposedly allowed the user to adjust many different things on the vehicle. So far i'm dissapointed. Unless there is a way to change the tune without havin to buy an ew tune. New tunes cost money though!

You have to set the CPU back to stock and then reload the Performance tune to change thing's.All the adjustements are at the start of loading the custom tune.Once you have the tune installed No you can't change anything.You have to do it at the install of your tune.You can do it over and over again.But you HAVE TOO return your stock tune first!!!

i put it back to stok then went to every single option on the xcal and found nowhere that said anything about adjustable options. It's still stock and i'm looking right now at my xcal and i see no options just stuf about loading the custom tune back on. where are these user adjustable features?

Did you mess with your tune on your CPU??

If you did you can't adjust it with the handheld.You will have to do it on your PC first!!

Have thought about doing this little mod: http://www.randrspecialty.com/autoel...s/mustang.html. A shade on the pricey side, but at least you still have the option of turning the TC back on should you ever want it again rather than screwing with the tunes.
