So if a new ClearNav II is only $500 more than the old ClearNav, why is the upgrade of an existing ClearNav $1000?


Assembly of new hardware is a comparatively orderly and predictable batch process. Upgrading equipment that has been out in the field is a much less time efficient process even before technical issues arise.


I agree. That's like asking, "Hey, this car is only $500 more with the big V8 in it, why will it cost me $5000 to convert my small V6 to the same V8?"
Simplistic, I know, (also, the costs in my example are likely a lot higher).

Curious to see what else new is coming from CNi along with the hardware change.
