No barometric sensor on our 871's, 870 and 570 have them. If you go with the NexIQ, only purchase from a licensed dealer, like FleetPride, do not purchase from Amazon, or any other on-line retailer. Many of these are Chinese knock offs and will not work with Insite software. The real units will.

Me, unless you have a mixed fleet of trucks, I would head over to eBay and get one of the $250 Inline 6 readers. I have had mine for years, just used it the other day on a friends truck. The eBay units come with the Insite software, you will need a laptop with Windows 7, it will work on Windows 10, but it can be a real bear to install. I had another member install mine, and he knew what he was doing, and it still took an hour+ to do it. If you use Apple products, you can install their "Bootcamp" software on say a Mac Book Air, that is what I use. Just partition the hard drive and install a clean copy of Windows, it works fine with the Inline 6 reader and Cummins software.
