He didn't install it because he was rushing the job. Now you know why the shop is closed.

The 555x is an older version of the 555xw. Kind of your call as far as which to go with, but the 555x is going to do the job that you need, and since you got the 555xw, you can keep it as a backup. If anything, it can be used later with another system with a simple reflash.

It's not really flashing with the Directed stuff. The unit has to 'learn' the key you have so that it responds like the transponder in it and the ECU gets the signal it is expecting. A qualified installer should have no problems doing it if you don't have the instructions or feel comfortable tackling it.
