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. But if you aren't mechanically inclined, then I
can see where this could be difficult.

Agreed on both points. 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.
