Getting smartlink programmed to car

[Edg]

Just got a smartlink module a week ago from Nate at Fairway. Followed easy instructions to get it almost setup

but haven’t been able to find a place to get it activated in IDS besides the stealership that wants $150 for 10 minutes

of fiddling on a computer.

Are there any other types of places that have IDS or ways to get it programmed that doesn’t involve the stealership?

Any help is appreciated.

Check with diesel truck shops, large independent shops or if you come to Wisconsin you can always hit me up.  Most places do have a 1 hour min labor rate charge.

Where in Wisconsin? I am in SE MN and typically along the river during weekends.

I haven't tried the truck shops yet but they are probably just as high and hard to get into.

The couple of dealerships in the area are all out at least 2 weeks for something like this

and didn't really know what smartlink even is.

I would call the smartlink hotline and let them tell you what dealers in your area have experience with smartlink.  If you go to a random dealer you may end up paying for their learning curve.   Personally I feel that the dealer charges well enough so that their techs do not need learn on your dime. 

 

If Jmr061 is close to you, that may be a viable option for you.
