I got pricing on an EZ SCAN from VE about a year ago and I think it was around 3k. The only set back is it will only work for the unit they set it up for and from the sound of it it's not a quick plug n play. The customer doesn't want to pay for it because the local TK office told them the tool was very common and available for anyone to purchase, which is BS because the customer was referring to the Map tool that is only available to TK. I believe these Northerns are similar to the ascension 2000's in the fact that they automatically shutdown after a certain period and require tool to reset.
