I wonder the long term durability of the my cal tuner,and how long its covered for,and the procedure to acquire a new one if the old one breaks,because surely overall it looks like a cheap made quality product,(just stating the facts). Z
I would pay a pretty penny for a quality all in one that flashes, datalogs, and had a suite of gauges I could mount. X4 is pretty meh but it only costs $200 so I put up with it.

The other option would just sell the damn software to run on Windows.
It would be pretty cool to obtain a PAT on a similiar device with a built in scanner also. Z

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Door was open the whole time. I really think the quality of the mycal sucks. It feels cheaply made and the screens don't even have good resolution. My sct x3 that I use for my cobra seems better made.

For some reason during the process of programming the vehicle with the door open from the start, I think the accessory power becomes active, so during that last prompt to turn car off (still another prompt to start after this) it doesn't register car is off and then repeats itself. This is why I start process with door closed, so I can assure the off request is met by opening door. Works everytime for me.

Well we hooked up my mycal to my raptor and there was still no power. The issue wasn't with the door or me not doing something right. It's with the mycal. I hope I didn't make the wrong decision going with lms and the mycal.

Bad hardware happens!  I am assuming you have not gotten the new tuner yet?

It's on its way. Which is awesome on lms's part.  I am in no way commenting negatively on there tunes or service. Just noting that the mycal doesn't seem as nice a device as I use for my other car. Time will tell though. Thanks all for the help.
