That Mach 1000 upgrade sounds like a scam. Why do they even sell it if it doesn't work like it's advertised?

It is far from a scam per se...but it is still uncharted territory to find the best way to use the upgrade kit.
I'm not sure the kit was ever designed to upgrade the pre-2001 cars to the mach 1000. The kit on radios and more was listed as 2001 and up when I ordered it. Ron from Radios and More told me directly that he's heard both the stock mach 1000, and a current year mach 460 upgraded with the kit, and to him "if there is any difference at all, it is very minor."
