There's some DIY'ers perfectly capable of using the editors and others who aren't. Dealers aren't obligated to give out the software, but they are allowed, and a consumer can ask them about that before buying. Some DIY'ers might want a professional to program it, others do not. Some dealers will sell the remote standalone, others only with programming. It all depends.

That about sums it up.
