Do these work right of the box or do they have to be programmed?

They work once you take them out of the box and turn 'em on!:) Which was great for me cause when I got them, I wanted to use them right away!!

They work right out of the box and are pre programmed...you can google and find out the frequencies that come on them. I gave a set to my son for Christmas and come to find out tat a local police department uses one of the channels...so he is forbidden to use channel 15 till I figure out how to reprogram them. Also realistic range without obstruction is around 1/2 mile.

the baofeng bk=888s walkies must be programmed using widely avail. free software. however you needthe programming cable. it's the usb cable w/a dual type speakerphone plugs on the end. a large and a smallplug molded together. Dennis

Ready to go. I fully charged them, but that's it. Got them for our kids as a Christmas present and they love them.

These are pre-programmed to 16 channels. Baofeng has the frequencies posted on their site and they can easily be found via Google search.

No, you don't have to program them individually. I have one for weekends and one for weekdays and the rest are unused.

call and ask specifically (have your serial number available) i bought these and they worked flawlesly.. i had my local tire shop install them for me and they charged a fee to install them and a fee to program them (you have to do this with the correct devices) there wer no other parts required. i'm not certain what aarish is referring to.... there are only the sensor inside the tires and the computer for the system.

They sure do! Plug and play. There's a paper tab you pull out from the where the on/off switch is and then when that's done, they'll be ready to use.

You can program it. Should come with directions--they are a bit long, but they don't require any special skills, just carefully follow the steps

Sort of. There is no programming or special set up required but the batteries will likely need to be fully charged first. Takes a few hours as I recall. I have been quite happy with mine.

Yes as the other answer said they are programmable. Mine didn't come with any documentation so the "control stick beep" method was kind of useless. A programming card will make life much easier.

Yes you shoul be able to program them yourself . The kit comes with a website to go to that will walk you threw the process. It is very simple

most likely. Mine worked perfectly fine out of the box. Light came on & fully charged them.

They have to be programmed by a dealer. All of them do. Mine charged about $28.

No you don't need to program them. They have different channels and as long as you have them both on the same one, you can communicate.

I ordered two and they are still in my glove box, unused, because it cost way too much to have them programed. Barbara

Yes, they are ready to use. Unless you have to have them programmed by a dealer. Some cars allow you to program them yourself at home with a few easy steps. Check youtube if you don't get instructions with them.

Yes, they are coded. Make sure you buy the ones for your meter Brand & model.

Yes. I have bought two off of Amazon and both have been easy to program. And both still work fine.

I have the 5 pack.... NO programming needed. You plug unit one in then plug the item (light, fan, whatever) in to it... now the top button on the remote turns that item on and off.... got them a year ago... and am very glad I did... saves entering a dark room and finding a light switch - I also used them in two rooms where I have a window ac unit and being able to pre-cool a room is awesome. Each button corresponds with one "Plug" unit.
