    Have the company you are leased to do it, if you damage it you will be responsible for it

    Wouldn't say it's hard, but if you have to remove all the wiring too I'd have them do it and also install in your next truck.

    It's not hard. The brain box should be under the bunk fed by the power wires, antenna, and display. Just remove it one step at a time. If he can handle installing a car stereo, he can handle it.

    But like clasix said if it belongs to the company, they should do the work.

    What type of system is it??? If it is the Qualcomm style then the brain box, dome and keyboard are all you need. It will need all new wiring for the new truck anyways.....

    Peoplenet is a NIGHTMARE!!!! and I would let whomever installed, it remove it

    I always install them myself.
    Not all trucks come equipped with Q/com wiring (non of mine have), but it's easy enough IMHO.
