superjet Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 As with any shop, ask if they are MECP certified, and how long they have been working there. Both Circuit and Best Buy would be able to order the kit, but it would be cheaper to find one on ebay. You will find great installers and horrible ones, no matter where you go. Three years experience is minimum in my book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

superjet Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 If you bring them some crappy wal mart kit, when they have the better one, they will refuse to use those parts. On that expedition, if it's an older one, there are modifications that need to be done, and not all stock connectors are used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
