The CTX/CIX is far more complex to program than the older DK40, 424, etc. that were intended to be able to program everything with a phone.
It is penny wise and pound foolish not to buy the eManager software and use that. It needs windoz XP pro, SP2 which you could have on a spare comuter, it doesn't have to be new, just support XP, SP2. I could only load it on my pc when all anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc. was removed.
Sometimes you just have to move with the future, the CTX/CIX is designed to have a huge amount of programming power and you can't expect to get that out of programming on a 20 button phone.
