If it were me, I'd buy a gently used unit from someone who accepts returns, and DIY the install.

If the unit is bad for whatever reason, it will trigger the same light you have on now and you'll go to plan B, otherwise, you've saved $600 -- for me, no brainer...

Do you have ny idea if I should disconnect the battery before I try an install? If the used unit is good, would it make the light go away or would I still need to hook up a durametric and reset?
