Has anyone installed this themselves? Directed says that it must be installed and activated by a licensed individual. Wondering if anyone has been able to get around this.

You can do it yourself . You have to call them and have it activated after it is installed .Just tell them you bought the car with the alarm already in it and you added this. If you do it your self IT WILL VOID the warranty is the only thing. It is a plug and play if you have there alarm .

I have not yet. Have other devices I am waiting on to do all together. That said, there are numerous YouTube videos to look at. Hope this helps???

I've installed this myself. There are instructions included which walk you through activating the unit. It must be installed by an authorized installer to warranty the actual product. If not, the warranty is void. Not a big deal if you know what you're doing and are willing to accept risk.Some vehicles are very simple installs, virtually plug and play. While others are very complex.

I did the install my self. Including in the kit, is a website that you create your own (installer login) to install the device. Then you are directed to another site for the customer login, for billing and usage. You cannot use the same email for both accounts.

This is very far from Plug &Play installation . You will revive no instructions with this just a very basic help sheet. The only one that can get the install information is a licenced directed tec or dealer because you have to go on line to there web site and put in your dealer # for install info . It can be put in without a certified installer but you better have a lot of knowledge on this type of install. One more thing is that you will not have any warranty with this if you install it yourself . I installed mine but I have been doing installs for over 30 years and it was still a little difficult without the instructions . Look on line for the installation instructions and see if you think you can do it your self . All you will find online is the quick install sheet and you can from there .

I had mine installed by Best Buy. I believe they had to program it. If you watch their specials you can get the system and installation for $149.

Idk, but unless u definitely know how to instal this yourself, I wouldn't waste your money. Terrible directions, and no real help on YouTube. Installers won't give you any discount for already having the item. Good luck

Tom: I was not able to install the disk like any conventional software,---but some how I was linked to a "free" download of Flt Sim X.Not enough time for trying it out, or instructions tp enter the product key to make it legal. Just been too busy with other things.

Not quite sure what's preventing you from simply installing it as you did before. Unless you no longer have the requisite serial info or password to do so. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful. I can tell you that personally when I have had the need to install on a new computer and can't find either the disc or the info (which is almost always the case) I simply orflder a new one. The version I have isn't very costly and there are a number of places to find em. Good luck. Maybe you should ask a thirteen year old. I'm 50 and that's what I end up doing.

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

Yes! I installed myself--just a little tricky--but follow the directions and watch the YouTube video and you'll be fine. Works great!
