The SCT-X4 is a complete dud. I bought it for my 2013 V6 Ford Mustang. According to the manufacturer this is made for my car. It took me two back to back updates from the manufacturer’s website to get my SCT-X4 up to date. The only reason I know the tuner was updated after the second update is I ran a third update, and it told me my SCT-X4 needed no updating. I was not warned after the first update that my SCT-x4 was not up to date. Why did I do a second and third update? I guess I wanted to be sure the SCT-x4 was ready to use before I connected it to my car. I am a very cautious about my Mustang.
The only program available to me was the stock program SCT got from Ford. Under this program there were no gas vehicle specific options listed as the instruction stated I would have. The SCT Tech support had no solution to adding the gas vehicle specific options. In addition, I could not tell the SCT-x4 that I made two simple modification to my car, a cat back exhaust system and a cold air intake. SCT Tech support confirm that I would have to do a custom tune, which I was quoted $650.00 by a local shop. All I was getting from SCT was the stock tune they got from Ford.
I was very excited about the gauge option on the SCT-x4 until it loaded only two gauges. There were no instructions sent to me on how to add or change gauges on the SCT-x4. The SCT website didn’t have this information available either. The SCT Tech support confirm this information was not available to the buyer. He was very helpful showing me how to add and change the gauges. Even though he was helpful, I found it very annoying to have to call tech support for something that should be easy to do on my own. The gauges are identified by name, but the names are abbreviated. The tech had to look up the abbreviations to tell me what the gauge did. (The buyer can’t look this information up.) Once I had the gauges loaded and working, I asked the the SCT tech if the number on one of the gauges was good or bad. He couldn’t answer me, there was total silence. I am not an auto mechanic and the lack of information provided by the manufacturer to the buyer makes these gauge totally useless. An auto mechanic would probably understand how the SCT-x4 gauges works, but I suspect he has far more advanced equipment available to him than the SCT-x4.
Finally, when I ran the diagnostic tool on the SCT-x4 supplied by SCT, it found no issue with my car. I guess that about wraps it up, my Mustang is fine. It’s the SCT-x4 that does nothing SCT claims it does.
If any buyer has any doubts about whether the SCT-x4 will not work on their car, do not load your car’s information onto SCT-x4. Once your information is load to the SCT-x4 the manufacturer will not refund your money, even if the problem is with their SCT-x4. In short, all I got from SCT for my money was a stock tune they received from Ford. Don’t make the same mistake I did and buy this worthless tuner. It does not do what SCT claims and SCT does not support it.
