First, I'm an accomplished gearhead and techie, I've wrenched my own stuff for 50 years, I have tools in my box older than most members here I'm thinking.
That said, I'm trying to get my head around the price of a Candoo system. It's not like it can be used on anything OTHER than my PWC (I have just one) like a socket set, or even a pair of vise-grips, or a meter. I've purchased OBD readers but they work on more than one manufacturer and year of car.
Right now I need a new key for my RXT, dealer wants $55 for the key and a half hour to program it, another $45, AND … I have to take a half day to drop it and wait for it.
But is it worth $400 to not have to wait? Maybe once a year? How often would I use the thing … really?
All the threads on the subject are almost five years old, seems nobody is talkin' Candoo in 2019. Big hub bub when it hit the streets but now, not so much.
Everybody seems to want one but my toolbox needs no bragging rights. I'm musing tonight after missing a buy on a used system this week on Craigslist but the seller was three hours away one-way. Oh well.
Thought for the old guy with a screw driver?
Thanks.
