    I have a question regarding the tools available to Diagnose and adjust settings (Instrument Cluster, Trans, ECU....) for the California.
    I am ofcourse aware of SD2(older Ferrari), SD3 (not highly recommended by many) and Leonardo (expensive but highly praised). I have become friends with some guys at a local shop and they have the Texa Navigator TX T and the Texa IDC3 software (v.39) Anybody know how the Texa tool and software compare to Leo.

    Never heard of a "texa" so couldn't comment on it. I have an SD3 and have never had a single problem with it. It's superb. It will not do any of the cars after the 599, so doesn't cover the cali/458 etc. The Leonardo seems to be quite a good piece of kit, although at present i believe there are issues with the software for some vehicles, which are being addressed.

    Thanks for the comments guys, I guess the Leonardo has the California and 458 in Beta software now. All the other devices are seen as rocks by the ME9.6.1 ECU. I need to find a way to calibrate the throttle bodies on a 458. -- need more research.

    I watched as a technician at a shop that has a Leonardo clear fault codes on my California

    It worked well, very close to not being a beta release
