Hello Pattyflys2

I installed the kit myself. I would never have tried it without the instructional DVD they send with the kit. I watched it once in full and then kept it paused while going back and forth between the garage and the DVD on my computer. I won't say it was a cake walk, but it certainly wasn't hard either. The hardest part of the install was mustering the courage to try it. I think it's MUCH easier than it looks.

And what is the worst case scenario, you start to do it and go "ug, I can't finish!". Then you are still no worse off. Just take it to your nearest reputable car alarm or stereo installer with the instructional DVD and probably a hundred bucks and say "here, you do it!".

Also, the guy whose email they give you is VERY responsive. I sent him an email on Sunday night after I was done and he responded within 2 hours.

Having done it I can say for sure that I would absolutely do it again. I love having the XM and it works perfectly.

Good Luck with yours!
