I know this is a deliberately simple model, but treating "custom code" as a variable cost that increases with each unit sold makes me sad.

I thought that per-unit cost was for the GPS/3G hardware plus whatever custom circuit board (or Arduino or whatever, heh) they use to tie it all together. The "plus some custom code" bit was just a nod in the direction that some software would be required, even if it's not been assigned a number.
