I am so glad I never got one of these, it's an expensive fan switch.

if you buy one dont pay $350 for it at summit. you can get em' used at speed shops, ebay, and other places if you search hard enough, for under $100...i got mine for even less than that.

I would not spend the money on a new one, you can look around and find a used one for $100.00 or less, got mine for $90.00 shipped. The power programming part is not of much use according to most people. I found it handy to change fan settings, correct speedometer after gear changes, change top speed limiter and adjust shift points and shift firmness on my A4 tranny. If you buy one dont pay new price!
