AutoiPacket
- AutoiPacket now trades as iPacket (autoipacket.com redirects to ipacket.us, same legal entity AutoiPacket, LLC of Parkersburg, WV, confirmed by the site footer), and publishes no price anywhere on its site: access is sold only through a booked demo, with four separate named products (iPacket Digital Vehicle Presentations, iPacket Recon, iPacket OnTargeting, and OEM Window Stickers) each gated behind a sales call rather than a published rate (archived 19 November 2025)
