They did mine a week ago with just a trickle charger. They assured me that this is the way it is done and the ONLY reason they tell you to disconnect is so that you don't run the battery down. The aftermarket specialist located inside my local Ford dealer told me the same thing. We've had it out three times for testing, once on the interstate. No issues to mention.
Not sure what you steps are but with the Explorer, you simply start the engine, put it in neutral, then turn the key off. It will chime for about 60 seconds because you shut the engine off with it not being in park, but that's no problem because no one is in the car to hear it.
