If you order from UK, I might take the GSM module off your hands (I'm located in Perth, WA). The 3G module I got with my OVMS back in early 2021 only worked quite patchy for about a week when I first received it, and never again since. I hope it's a hardware issue with the module, not with the OVMS. I haven't spent much time on diagnosing it though. In any case 4G would be a lot more future proof, but when I looked recently I was put off by the available options in terms of price/shipping.

So I've had this issue with the HUD not powering up when connected to the OVMS and then I just had an issue with a bad file in /store causing continuous reboots and thought I'd get a replacement base unit. I already got a small refund from the old distributor because of the faulty hud power.
The problem is that the shipping cost is stupid expensive. US $180 for base module (no GSM) then $205 for shipping!.. =AUD $560 from medlock.
Going for the UK site I have to get it as a kit with cables, but at £166.93 + £19.97 shipping... Which at AUD $328 is a lot cheaper... What the actual f? And I get 2 antennas I don't need and a SIM I can't use as well as the GSM module that I was going to either transfer over or get an in-car wifi solution.
What on earth is going on!?
