I certainly wouldn't pay $69.00 for it.

With 6ft of wire and a switch you can control the GPR so it only comes on when you want it to.

There ain't nothing special about that GPR, it looks just like any replacement you can get at any parts place. His whole sales pitch is the ability to bypass the PCM control and manually control it with a switch. You can do that yourself for the cost of the switch, wiring and connectors.

Yeah, that and the 10k mod. I've seen variations of it sell for close to $200 on ebay.
