If so, I'll PM you my address and you can mail me the $800 instead.
IMHO Nissan did exactly the right thing.

No but i think the person you responded to has a point. They made it seem as though it was going to add 5k to the price and stop Nissan from being competitive in the market... it was a 800 buck option for which case money saved on not installing the original unit would make it say 600? and they buy it in bulk so say 450? and take the sales margin on the resale to the customer so say 350-400 extra on the list price? It's a weak arguement by Nissan for a car which they market as a trackable car. I'd like to meet the person who made this decision and put him through pain between the time limp mode kicks in until the car pulls out of limp mode and see how he likes them apples.
