There are non dealers that do program decoders for them selves. Myself (I am not a dealer)I have the equipment for Zimo decoders. Others may have the ability to do the Massoth unit. Biggest issue when asking for this even with a dealer is what do you want the decoder to do for you. I customize Zimo units for remote uncoupling vi a servo, smoke units for better realism, but I need the engine to do this. So, it would be nice to find someone local that can assist you to save on shipping costs as well as the installation cost.
