I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are around cars. I took mine off very easily the first time by following a set of instructions someone had posted.

I rebuilt my lock module and lowered the standby current, but you've got to be handy with a soldering iron to pull this one off. I don't see it as a necessary thing though, so long as the car is driven. And if it's only driven once every few weeks, the owner should think about installing a battery cutoff switch anyway. -Ryan To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
