I doubt most dealers have it unless the pricing structure went way down for it and I don't see that happening
They "bundled" it with other hardware upgrades, or Ignite or stuff for Sales like "Desking" or "EDM" in F&I or DocView or a new server or who knows something else. Now our DP wants us to use it cause we've been paying for it since 2003, and it's required for the next upgrade, "Advanced Service", which just so happens to also require 100% Ignite in Parts. After that, we're getting their fancy $100k ReyPhone system which uses caller ID to instantly load their VIN, and cust. info like Domino's knows your address when you call. We just installed their ReyPay integrated credit card system too, which is another clusterf for another day. We spend so much money with them it's a crime, so they got us by the shorts.
15 years ago they "bundled" barcode scanners in for Parts and we've never even seen them.
WOW!!
