Anyone know the difference between the v1.5 Vgate ELM327 and the other Vgate ELM327 on amazon for a few dollars less?

This one is the fake fake one. The other one is the fake one. This one has a generic MAC address so it can get confused if somebody else has the same adapter.

The one I got was a great price and in brand new condition. It works just fine for the model I am using. I would recommend it because Amazon makes it really easy to return it if there is a problem.

I bought V4 earlier this year and it automatically upgraded to V5 when it looked for updates online. I haven't noticed any major differences since upgrading.

Where did you get this information? Don't spread false rumors please. On the netgear forums you can actually see people post pics of both pcbs with identical components. Nothing was changed except the outer box. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. 3700 v2 has not come out yet. Pretty much all you want is to look for the rev21 boards as those are the best ones out there. For the 3700 usually a red box means its rev21 the yellow boxe means you need to check the upc to make sure. 37av is the same as a red box rev21.The major rev you need to stay away from is rev15, its reported with the most major problems.http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52714&page;=1 Where did you get this information?

Are they the exact same models? If so, they might just be trying to sell you the higher priced item by tricking you. If they are the same, go with the lower price. Good luck.

The original was,iirc, silver with black buttons, and I haven't heard of a V3 so I think it's just brain gas on the seller's part. Great device, btw. Highly recommend it.

From what I can see there is no substantial difference between the two series. They look the same and have substantially the same hardware. The M5 listings I have seen seem identical to the V5 I bought. I recommend the V5 so I can imagine the M5 is good too. One note: I got the V5-573PG-9610 which comes with an Nvidia GPU. If you can find this, it is worth it! It makes games and video and graphic programs run much better.

I have not used the cheaper one, so I am not sure. I just know this one is perfect and doesn't cost very much.

Our V5 came with an HDMI micro to VGA adapter (stamped with Acer logo), but even if the newer models do not, you can easily purchase a non-brand adapter. Difference in cost is $24.99 on Acer store vs. $9 for generic.

Thanks for the tips. I ordered the VRDMC5 then went to ebay and searched for the DVS. Found five for sale-only three were new. I purchased on wiht Buy it Now option for $34.95. Am anxious to try both in combination.

Yeah, those seem to be the major differences. The non-user-replaceable battery on the new View sucks though...that was one nice feature about the e200 series (as oposed to iPods) and seemed to make complete sense. I have had to use firmware update on my V1 e260 to recover from a crash and it was pretty seamless and I lost no data. V2, I believe, does not support the "recovery mode" firmware update. I have no idea what the parameters of the View are regarding this. Maybe it just never crashes! (not likely...) Other thing is the better stats on the microSD expansion slot...now up to 8 gigs (wow!) and using microSCHC. That's 16 gigs total without a hard-drive. Awesome! I have found, after some initial frustration and confusion with the expansion slot on my e260, that I just never put it in MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode and ALWAYS use it in MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode. I found moving files with Windows Explorer pretty glitchy in MSC mode. (Windows iExplorer would freeze up or get very strange-acting) Now, I just pull the microSD card, stick in into card reader on my computer (with the full-SD-size adapter) and add files like it was a pen drive. Perfect for podcasts which you switch in and out frequently and perfect for loading stuff for a trip. You could have a second card for you wife's/gf's music or podcasts as well and just swap it out without a Windows session. It DOES mean a much longer boot-up (really "refresh data" after the initial normal bootup...) but I think it's worth it for the flexibility of adding and deleting files so easily. You can always just remove the microSD and not deal with the "refresh-data" wait if you get sick of it. 8 gb of microSD would be nice though! Also, I'd like to hear some objective feedback regarding the sound quality of normal audio with the View as compared to the e280. Is is MUCH better? The e280 has become so inexpensive I may just go for that and wait out the View for another year or two.

I researched this and there is a major difference...you don't get the Amazon Prime App on The HT-E6500W but you do get Amazon Prime on HT-F6500W. I wished i would have known because my wife and i use Amazon Prime a lot and now are stuck with this nonsensical little detail. Samsung support confirmed this silly difference also. So if you want to use Amazon Prime don't get the E version because it's an older version. I know, stupid isn't it? I'm a bit angry because of this subtle difference.

Where do I check to tell if I have a rev21 board or the ev15 board?I purchased the 37AV and it says WNDR37AV-Rev1 on the box. I have not even checked to see what the actual unit has labeled on it but I will tonight. Funny, when I registered it my only choice by product number was WNDR3700. I have had only one problem with it not working correctly but that seems to be attributed to my modem and not the router.I really do not want to have to return it but will not hesitate if I have the lessor quality board. Thanks.

No I haven't done any comparisons. But I will say for the money it's hard to beat a fosgate sub. I'm very happy with mine.

Have to agree with the others here; different suppliers. The $85 price is sold/shipped by Amazon, the other is an RV outlet. Amazon is not always the lower price, but usually is. They are the same kit, come in the pkg pictured with the $133 item and the quality is great. Easy install and functional.

> If you buy new, you should get a Version 2Not the case; it's completely unpredictable unless you find a vendor willing to check for you and ship a specific unit. I heard from one seller, through whom I've been watching for a v2 shipment from SanDisk, that the last batch they received were actually all older units (they could tell from the package design). Seems like the old stock is being unloaded now that the e200 series has been discontinued. So if the version makes a difference for your purposes, contact vendors and find someone willing to check for you. One advantage of refurbs is that it's less likely they'll have to cut open a factory package to do this. > If you buy new, you should get a Version 2Not the case; it's completely unpredictable unless you find a vendor willing to check for you and ship a specific unit.

it said something about upgrading it to win 8 for 15$ on acer's site. also, this isn't available on amazon and i dont think it will be for a long time so i am getting Acer Aspire V3-571G-6407 for similar to better performance and basically the same thing without in built mic.
