Default installing intake question

Im debating whether installing the intake myself to my IS250 with friends or at the dealership. the thing is that the dealer told me they needed to reset or do some configuration with the computer in the engine, and I am not sure how to do that or what they mean?
my friends say all you have to do is disconnect the battery or remove a fuse. any advice would be appreciated!

thank you

Dont waste your money by taking it to the dealer.

All you have to do is disconnect the MAF sensor, unbolt the stock intake, and bolt on the new one. Its very easy to do.
