ProCal OBD Programmer
Hey - did we all get hosed spending over $350 for a MaxEnergy. The Quadratec catalog has a programmer called the ProCal OBD Code Reader and Programmer. It says it re-programs for gears, tires, shift points, idle speed, light settings, AND TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR PSI (so the alert won't go off below 29psi)!
Anyone have any experience with this? I wonder if Hypertech will post an upgrade that adds the tire pressure sensor option!

You can't compare the Procal to the Max Energy. Hypertech could eventually make the Max Energy do everything the ProCal does. And the Procal will never do what the Max Energy can do.
I own a ProCal and it has been an investment. A true investment! I paid like 140 for it with handling I've used it twice, 90 bucks a pop at the dealer for a flash so I'm now ahead 40 bucks! And the dealer could not or would not set the TMPS down to 15 PSI.

Great device for the money. Have used to lower TPMS sensor point to reasonable air pressures and have used it to Enable DRL - the only useful things for the stock foglights is as DRL's! Will be using it soon for speedo recalibration when get new tires next month. Can also use it to increase idle speed while winching without you having to have your foot on the gas pedal.

Its not getting hosed, its paying a premium to be an early adopter. We all forget how new these JKs still are and if you want the latest/greatest, you pay the price. We will see this happen across the board for all JK products, not just programmers. As the market matures the prices will come down...
But...
To the OP's comment. The Hypertech and the AEV Procal unit are NOT the same tool. So therefore should not be compared. All though they have overlapping qualitities they are for two DISTINCT markets and purpose.
If you bought the Max Energy just to set your gear and tire ratio... then you did not use it for its main use. It's like using the big a$$ Craftsman screwdriver as a crowbar, and then crying when it breaks like a screwdriver. Good tool used for the wrong purpose.
For the books. I owned both. Only sold the Hypertech because I could no longer enjoy the power programming since I installed the Ripp supercharger. So the Procal does ONLY what I need now, which is set my gear/ tires.

I bet that Hypertech will be adding the TPMS feature very soon. Superchips is coming out with a their Flashpaq that does what the Hypertech and AEV both do plus more. Info HERE. I think I'm gonna have to get me one when they come out.
