This message is going to be posted in some other forums I frequent so the word can be passed.
Almost 2 months ago, I purchased a SuperChips Cortex 1950 from Summit Raciing. I purchased it to use on my '11 Mustang GT and eventually, my '07 Ranger. It is the only hand held tuner that offers use on multiple vehilces and was a selling point. Paid close to $400.00 for it.
Out of the box, it never worked. Got a hold of SC (SuperChips) for a resolution to this problem and started a toubleshooting ticket with them. After all this time, they still have not resolved this issue as they are having problems 'cracking' into the program calibration on my EMU. My car seems to be unique in someway; different than other '11 Gt's.
Tomarrow (28 July '11) they claim I should have a tuning program to download to finally be able to use the Cortex. We'll see as I have had this told to me on another occasion.
I have come to the end of my patience with SC on this issue and will be returning the Cortex for my money back as I do not believe they will have resolution to this problem tomarrow or any other day.
With the 30 day, money back guarantee past by almost a month, I'll probably have to return it directly to them. They will honor the 30 day as they have said they will not start it until I have a tune to upload to my car. It's the only thing that kept me from returning it earlier.
To make a long story even longer, let this be a warning to those of you who would consider buying the Cortex or any other SC hand held tuner. They do not warn you about the posiblity of having a problem with these out of the box as I have had so, buyer beware!
Oh, by the way, I just read on their forum, anothe person who put in a troubleshooting claim 2 months ago with claim number and they have never contacted him with any kind of status or resolution. There are others with simular problems.
If you are thinking of getting one of these tuners, I highly recommend you visit the SC forum and read up on peoples experiences with these things. May save you alot of grief...
