Even better than that, it will cover every model until they release a new product. It's internet updateable, so if you sell your truck in the next few years, go to superchip's website and download your new calibrations and you have a tuner for your next vehicle.

It also has a datalogging feature and an input, but I never got a chance to play with that part of it.

I can do all that stuff and then some with my SCT XCal but it costs over $125 less.

Good to hear some feedback on the Cortex though.

Does the Xcal have a website with free updates? I thought you had to buy tunes from a superchips custom tune dealer to get updates, and each update cost $x (probably around $150ea).

You can get all updates for SCT and Diablosport tuners off their site. If you sell the current vehicle and want to tune another vehicle a custom tune from a dealer costs $45. A custom tune is far better than a canned tune.
