AFAIK the XR5's don't have the same issue with the
PCM as the later model 2.0 Duratecs, for some strange reason according to information received from Bluefin UK via the Superchips NZ tuner (Peter), Ford went with an earlier model
PCM in the later models and changed the software just to throw a spanner in the works. Obviously other tuners such as Bluefin and Viezu will be able to get around it eventually but in the meantime it would appear that the SCT X3 unit is the only one capable of communicating with the
PCM via the OBDII port. It is still preferable to send the serial number from each individual
PCM through to the SCT agent to make sure it is on their list first, I know when the Superchips agent try to read mine it didn't like it at all and at one stage the car wouldn't start and threw up a CEL which had to be cleared :(
