The SmartTV install involves cutting wires and tapping a nearby +12V and Ground, which is on the same Bulkhead connector. smartTOP or remoteKEY does not involve any wire cutting and comes with it's own harness.
Here's some bullet points:
- Easy installation, approximately 30-45 minutes
-
USB upgradeable as new features or compatibility fixes are released
- Workshop mode to enter "stealth mode" to prevent any issues with diagnostic equipment
- Cannot be overwritten by replacement of control modules or dealer updates
- Can be removed at anytime and sold or transferred to another vehicle
- Made in the USA
Some complex features (think macros) that the modules have simply cannot be flashed and require a separate controller - which is what the module allows.
Gentlemen, feel free to read up on the devices before making a choice.
