How hard is this to install? Do I need to hire someone to install it or it is simple enough I can install it myself?

You will need to check your WiFi signal where this will be mounted. If you don't have full bars can be problematic. It's a very simple install getting it to sync up is were you can run into issues.

It was simple to install, it took me about 30 mins most of which was mounting the antenna where I wanted it. If you can replace an outlet or a light switch this is much easier. Maybe closer to replacing a video card in a PC. Just turn off the power to the panel and record where all of the current wires connect on the old board.

It didn't look very hard, but I had my guy (who does all my electrical/plumbing/etc work) do it. Went in easily and is working fine. Hope this helps.

I had a much earlier Aqualink and it was a process of taking out the old control board and labeling each wire to connect to the same terminals in the new board. Directions were straight forward. The wireless was just a little more difficult, but with reading directions carefully, I got this also.

I installed it myself. Just have to remember the wires you pull off the old board need to go on the same name tag on the new board.

It was really easy going from a previous board. The connections were labeled the same on mine. I just shut off the power and swapped the connections one at a time. It was about as hard as replacing a power supply in a computer. But less screws.

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

It's an easy install, but if you have doubts about doing it yourself, get help doing it. It's OK to not want to do this yourself. Get professional help, or a competent friend. In my case, I chose to mount it in a very well hidden location underneath my dash, and wire it discretely to an always-on power source also under the dash. Discuss options with your installer. It isn't a difficult project, so won't cost you a lot of money. Or no money, in the case of a friend. You will be amazed how well it works: Instantly locate you vehicle, download a complete history of where it has gone, every spot along the way, and how fast it was going at each point. Does what it claims. Go for it! It's an easy install, but if you have doubts about doing it yourself, get help doing it. It's OK to not want to do this yourself.

I did it myself and it was relatively straight forward....I do not have any knowledge of installation. You just need to make sure the wiring goes where it needs to go and you should be straight.

Depending how handy you are.... Once you understand the installation and your good with a Allen key.... Install should be a minute or two

I had my bike shop install it for me. I did have a slight problem when I tried it myself, but they were able to do it.

It's relatively easy. The instructions are horrible, you will have to use your common sense. You need another person helping you to hold the top, while you put one screw on each side.

No offense, none at all, but just by reading your question I would not recommend you purchasing this without having someone tech savvy to help you install it for you. However, the answer is yes.

Hi, I have bought this since March and till this day i don't know how to install it!! it's very complicated and no one from the company answers any questions. so if you haven't bought it yet i advise you not to!

There's instructions on Installing it, however I would advise you to get a mechanic to install it. My husband is a mechanic so he installed it, But he still had a lot of trouble with it because the directions are not very good.

It can be a bit of a pain, but all in all its a simple process.I didn't have any major issues with it, so to answer your question "Yes" It was easy.PS: they provide instructional videos on how to install it, so they really help you out with the process

I would not try to install this yourself if you don't have experience or expertise of any kind in this field. This is a bit more involved than setting up a home theater system or solar lights and such. Go to a professional who does this for a living and you'll save time, money and stress.

It's very easy to install. I'm a mechanic so I deal with cars all day long. If you have some time to kill and normal tools like 8mm or 10mm deep socket, ratchet and extension and a screw driver to pop off the back panel you should have no problem at getting it done yourself. If you don't feel confident just bring it to your local garage and I'm sure they will have no problem doing it for you. Hope this helps.

Yes, is pretty simple to install, if you have some doubt to how you can do it, there is to many documentation in the web and videos tutorials in youtube, the installation is very quickly.

I am not sure what your question is. I followed the directions and installed it myself.

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.
