$100-$170 (yes I have seen them sell for that much) for something that serves such a simple purpose, is in stark comparison to other parts in RC that do so much more in relative terms.
They 'are' expensive for what they are, and what they do.
Don't get me wrong, I wish they were $60 but it does send an encrypted signal so it reads your car and they have to pay for development. Unless there is competition prices wont change.
Now after reading this thread I better be careful which mylaps to get, MRT is out of the question
