Does anyone recommend any good audio shops or any place where I can get my avic f90bt installed and have the video by passed and be able to use my steering controls, please get back to me asap because I have purchased everything but the adapter...??? Willing to travel if its highly recommended.
Thanks in advance
Had mine done at Stereo Station 17, Rochelle Park, NJ. (rt4 w to 17 S, about 2miles down on right). It does not seem like they do many of them but I liked the owner, Bruce. His 2 installers have been with him for 20 years and it was on my way to work.. They put the steering wheel modulator in and where able to fix the subwoofer POP after I told them how.
I got mine installed in Queens on Jamaica Ave. I think the place is near 214th St. They did the bypass for me no prob. The install was quick and it cost about $150 to do it.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but as I was stuck in traffic I saw this little nice spot in the Bronx, set up an appointment for next friday. Will take before and after pics....
omg... this friday was the worst experience I've had, why is it that I'm a newbie but I know more about my install than people that work at the audio shops that I went into and let alone when I said bypass lmao....
Still will post when I get it install no matter how many places I have to walk into.
you should do the install yourself... all those little shops on the bronx and queens will butcher your installs... try a place like bopper said in jersey
Thanks for the advice I might just go over there to install. To boopers location
my buddy does installs at a shop on the side. he can do it any thursday eve or any saturday. He will do you right if you want about 45 min from the gw bridge
he sounds good can he do it anytime on friday because i work both those days.... 
just checked with him wend or thurs night or saturday morning
Okay thanks for checking with him, but im working all those days.

Bopper, I'm trying to get the F90BT installed in a CR-V. This place is somewhat near me. Did they correct install the stereo with the parking brake bypass? Do you know how much they charged for that? Many thanks.

OR......... save your self the money and do it yourself. you'll gain a lot of knowledge about the unit, your car and what your doing.
This is true....although, with my luck, I'll screw something up and short the entire car out.

No you wont short it out, take the ground off the battery and just start looking through the wires. I was afraid too and i dove into it and it went smoothly with a few small bump's that i figured out.
Its worth a try and just keep a friend or someone who knows what there doing near by or even on here to help with small bumps

I may give it a try. Usually I dive right into any and all do-it-yourself projects. Popping of a new car's dashboard is the only thing I'm hesitant about....but you gotta crawl before you can walk!
Crawl before you walk-- BINGO.
I know tearing a dash apart is hard.. Just take it slow, dont pry anything that shouldn't be pryed and put down some cloth or something to protect the dash and moldings.
other then that look around for photos and other people that have the same car or call the dealer

Dealers are usually no help! Most likely, the dealer will say "Anything you do will void the warranty, blah blah blah...." Actually, he's already tried to tell me this, although I'm fairly certain he has no freaking clue what he's talking about.
that's a chance you have to accept.
Otherwise pay to have it done. polus the installer has insurance

I'll still have to decide.....I also had the (mis)fortune of buying the car with the fiancee, so I'm sure she'll give me grief about doing it myself and potentially harming the car. The sh*t we do for love.
Before and After.... Had the guys from Stereo Station install it for me got there early guys did everything bypass module, and HD... would recommend to any one in that area. thanks Bopper
guess people dont like the install 
I think it looks great, and I am glad it worked out for you. Did they have that cover around the radio laying around, or did you provide it?
WOW!!!!
Im am VERY IMPRESSED!!!
AWESOME job. i dont have a reason or the guts to do a install that complex. Moving stuff around like that scares me
Awesome look. A+
Lmao... you can almost feel the sarcasm on the keystrokes. Yea i purchased it from scosche, metra doesnt make a earth taupe color one, they didnt have the adapter either but the manager stepped out and returned with it in like 15 minutes.
