Default Vortech YSI question
To upgrade to a YSi from the V2-SQ model, do i have to buy the new head unit outright? Or is there another method for this?

Thanks
Daniel

Vortech offer about $1k for your unit which is worth more than that. Then they make you pay retail for the Ysi. More of a sucker program if you ask me.

You might consider selling yours and buying USER_NAME's T-trim if you can strike a decent deal with him. Should be easy since you're both in Houston.

Good luck with the upgrade. Glad I never had to do that.

You never got to choose, did you.
Somebody else limited your choices.

yup... i should have paid the 800$ and gotten the YSi at the start. Kicking myself for it now, but i'll have to deal with it.

IF someone is interested... the unit is practically brand new.

I don't know what you mean, I chose.

That's cool, 4 choices. I'm just glad I never had to upgrade.

Can't you trade it in ?

Or just sell the whole kit and start over?

Less than 1300 miles (this is a high estimate) and it's been installed, sitting in my garage since Mid-June.
