You can purchase the HP-1 with or without the Extreme upgrade included. I bought my original HP-1 in Oct 2010 and bought the upgrade when it was released in Aug 2011. I just unpacked my second H P-1 today which I ordered from a dealer already "upgraded", that is it came from the dealer v 2.01 firmware and the advanced features already installed, no 'code' or anything required. Price is obviously negotiable with your favorite dealer but it certainly is convenient to take it out of thee box and no logging into the web site needed ,as it is already ready-to-go.
