Question: Has anyone installed this themselves?  Directed says that it must be installed and activated by a licensed individual.  Wondering if anyone has been able to get around this.
Document: I had a Viper alarm installed and do not know why I didn't have this installed initially with it. I love it. Even though my Viper has a &#34;1 mile range&#34;, that isn't really true. While there is a yearly fee, being able to look at whats up with my car from my phone is awesome. It also has GPS so I know where I parked my car at the shopping mall!
I had one of these installed on my truck back on January 2014. When, and that's a big when it works, it works as it is supposed to, however the problem is that most of the time the system appears to be down, I don't know if it's Directed servers or the cell towers it uses, but the bottom line is that it is not reliable. It may work fine now but fifteen minutes later it may not, even though the vehicle is still on the same spot it was before.
Like I said, I don't use alarm systems anymore so I had this installed as a stand alone GPS tracker, and it works so well that I ended up buying one for each of my family's vehicles. I highly recommend this device for anyone that wants the ability to see where their vehicle is at any time. Also, keep in mind, it's not restricted to just cars. You can install this device on a motorcycle, atv, RV, boat, etc.
No word from Directed since I let 'the cat out of the bag' that I fixed it with hardware'. Dollars to donuts they will never fixed their software bug. This event was during March 2014 and took 32 days and 13 emails. I ended up fixing it myself and Directed still does not know how to fix it as they have not yet contacted me to get my solution to their bug.
Hey,Okay so let me start off by saying, if you, like me, travel between Canada and the US frequently, this is USELESS for you. It will not work outside the US no matter what an installer, directed, or amazon tells you. I've wasted $200 and numerous hours trying to get everything put in order for it to work but just have had NO luck. Now, moving on the actual product.Its basically an electronic way to control your car from your smart phone.
It is a known fact that alarm systems don't stop thieves from stealing cars, so I don't even bother using them anymore. That being said, in the unfortunate event that my vehicle does get stolen, I want the ability to track it and hopefully aid the police in catching the thief and possibly even get my vehicle back. This device does not require the installation of any other alarm components. It can be used as a stand alone GPS tracking device, or as an addition to your Directed alarm system.
Overall, its literally a 1min plug-in install that you shouldn't be charged more then $10 for, but will end up costing you anywhere between $30-100 depending on how much you do yourself. If you plan on getting this installed, i highly recommend just purchasing from the local installer as they will deny activating your device since they won't make enough money off you.
I got this for my wife's car. She went on a business trip and had forgotten whereshe parked her car. She was able to find it via her I Phone.
This was a perfect addition to my Viper 5904v security/remote start system. If my car alarm is activated a siren actually sounds on the Viper smart start iphone app that sounds just like the actual sound of my car's alarm.
Paired this smart start with the Viper 5704v and I love it. I can be inside the mall and still be able to start my SUV or be warned if someone breaks into my vehicle. Service for the GPS is a little pricey but love that I know where my vehicle is at all times!!!! !
Answer: I did the install my self.  Including in the kit, is a website that you create your own (installer login) to install the device.  Then you are directed to another site for the customer login, for billing and usage.  You cannot use the same email for both accounts.
