I think I might buy one of these for my parents cars.. My step dad would really use it in his little Aveo that he squeezes 40 mpg out of.

The location is available online for almost any car.

I'm a little nervous; I have called 5 times in the last 4 days (twice on the 14th and thrice today) and gotten no answer; today it's all busy signals.

Anyone ordered & received an SGII in the past week or so?

Yes, I did. However I totally forgot and then today glossed over the part about the new phone lines. DUH.

I guess I'll just PayPal them and mention EcoModder in the subject and body.

Thanks for the reality re-check.

Now they tell me there's a discount.

Already ordered SGII. (sigh). Still waiting for it.

Waiting.....waiting.....(sound of foot tapping impatiently)

I bought mine through Amazon Prime for full price and had it in two days (this past Tuesday). Very slick device, although I wish the backlighting was a bit brighter. Even at the high setting, it's not what I would prefer. I did find that the right location in the vehicle helps a lot.
