If I self-install, I don't see why the car would not be driveable to the dealer where I could then pay for coding. Thoughts? Anyone ever do their own install or always dealership/reputable shop? I don't mind paying premium prices for premium parts, but I hate paying someone to do something I am more than capable of doing myself.
You can absolutely install hardware yourself and take to an independent for recoding

I did everything at an independent because it's impossible to work on your car yourself in Hong Kong

If you know someone locally in your area on the forums they might even be able to do the coding for you in exchange for a pizza and some beers
