hit me up when your back and we'll go from there

sweet thanks

Heya MisFit,

I am not too familiar with NJ, but my bro lives @ Exit 12 on the turnpike and (if you are willing) I'd like to see if you can help me out with a D3 install.

I'd like to get the following items done:

Get the D3 with reverse camera, and ipod module. Only prob is, while I do not mind paying extra for your own markup, I need to purchase the head unit with a CC, not cash.

I also need 2 front door speakers installed, as I have blown mines. I'd probably ask your opinion on a decent set of speakers for a 2006 Civic Coupe.

Finally, and I've read that you don't do this, but I'd like it bypassed. If you can't please let me know. If you decide that you won't bypass, then I'd like to ask you to take a different route with my car, and just go for pure loudness with the stock HU. The D3 would be nice, but I'd probably never use it if it wasn't bypassed.

Please contact me in PM with any prices or suggestions, if you can. If you cannot, then that's cool. I need to save money anyway.

bypass is not a problem, but i dont take cc

No, I meant...I would have rather bought the unit from you directly, and let you get your margin off of it, but I am unable to -- since I'd need to buy it with a CC and pay you in cold hard cash for install.

I forgot to mention, if I can't get the XM adapter w/traffic (I want this too), and camera, can I purchase these from you directly? Cash, of course.

Since you are getting so much props in these forums, I don't mind paying for some peace of mind. Are you far from Exit 12? How can we hook up? Let's talk in PM. I'll be back in these forums from work tomorrow morning.

PM sent on install request/price.

Another satisfied Misfit customer. He came by the other day to install my D3, Ipod control and reverse cam. Great communication setting up the date/time and a clean, fast install. The man knows what he's doing. Highly recommended.

could you help with a z1 to z2 upgrade. let me know, im located mercer county.

all you have to do is run the disc. its not something you need help with

thats if you buy the disk, i was looking to unlock the drive and use the image. unless im confused about something.

I have all of the adapters, and started the install; all of the wiring harness adapters have been wired and I plugged the unit in to make sure all is working. The sound is working, but the iPod plays, but no sound.

The Z2 is not in the dash yet, and I still need to hide and mount all of the accessories.

Anyway, I think I am over my head with installing the Sirius, iPod adapter (cd-ib100ii), and the steering wheel control adapter. Let me know around how much and I live in Ringwood NJ 07456. If you have any questions just let me know!

Thank you,

Todd

Misfit swung by last weekend to install my D3. Nothing but good things to say about his work. He took plenty of time to explain his work throughout the install and was meticulous with his wire work.

Two thumbs up. I'd recommend him to anyone having second thoughts installing themselves.

Thanks again Misfit!

i had misfit come to my home on sunday and install remote starts in the following cars:

08 Ford Expedition

08 Ford Explorer

06 Ford Taurus

06 Scion XB

He also fixed the remote start on my 07 Ford Expedition that some local asshole botched!

The fords i had done on the existing key fob and the scion we wanted to use the alarm keychain.

I gotta tell ya it was a great install... he even hooked up the auxilairy to pop the trunk on the taurus..without me having to ask him

it took him 4 hours to do all 5 cars!!!!!

the price was good, the service was better!

i would not hesitate to use him for anything!

this is the second time i have used his services and will not be the last!

Matt (Misfit) just finished installing my equipment. I have a 2008 Scion xB, and he installed a D3, Bluetooth, iPOD, backup camera, and the patch to allow the steering wheel controls to work with the new equipment.

I was extremely impressed with how efficient and neat he was - all excess cables were either trimmed, or neatly bundled and zip-tied. The man really knows his stuff.

It turned out the special harness that connects the back-up camera to the head unit had a short in it. After a couple of blown fuses, Matt isolated the defective part, and laid out exactly what I need to do when I get the replacement.

I would not hesitate for a second to give him a strong recommendation to anyone in the area that needs an install for automotive electronics. I was about to put my car and electronics in the hands of Circuit City, and it gave me major anxiety pangs, just thinking about it. Then I found this group, and Matt. I am one happy camper.....

Thanks Matt!

man, reading through this thread..i really wish he lived near me!

I want to add a couple more thoughts to my last post. Like most of you, I spent a whole bunch of time searching for the best prices on each of the components that I bought. I looked at BBB listings for companies and read a zillion comments on eBay. I changed and re-changed my mind, then started ordering, some stuff from eBay, some from other Net stores. I went through the anxiety of hoping that everything would come, and I wouldn't get caught holding up the whole project waiting for something.

I found AVIC411 because I wanted to bypass the D3. Unfortunately, I didn't read enough of the site before I wasted all my time and energy searching for and tracking parts. I finally found this thread, and read all the good words about Matt (Misfit).

I met him for the first time on Sunday, when he came and installed my setup (D3, Bluetooth, iPOD, steering wheel controls, and plate cam). I couldn't believe how smoothly he worked, and how diligent he was at making everything just right.

When he finally fired things up, it blew a fuse, and then another one. He finally tracked it down to a defective factory harness that connects the plate cam to the D3. He didn't make it, or even sell it to me, but he hated leaving a system that wasn't fully functional. He showed me exactly what to do when I got the replacement harness. He left the defective one in place, so I would be able to get the connections done properly. I hate to think how long my car would have been at Circuit City while they tried to figure out why it blew fuses.....

I spent about two hours on Monday trying to convince the guy I bought the plate cam from to send me the replacement harness, and I would return the defective one. He wouldn't do it, so I was doomed to taking out the unit, removing the harness, putting it back together, waiting for the replacement, then taking it apart again to put the new harness in. I was not happy.

A little later, Matt called me, and told me he had found me a new harness, and he sent it to me. He didn't have to do that at all - he had nothing to do with the original harness. He just wanted to make sure everything was "right". The harness showed up today, and I put it in. As expected, I did something wrong, and called Matt. He identified the problem, and told me what to do. I put everything together, and fired it up. It worked like a charm!

I can't say enough about the service and dedication Matt showed. If I need another unit, or anything else, he is the first person I am going to contact. If he costs a couple bucks more, it will be well worth it, because I know he will make sure everything is right - no hassles, no anxiety about whether or not I am going to get ripped off, or sent some POS.

We've got a heck of a resource here, I hope you guys all support him, I know I will! If you are close enough so he can install it for you, then you are truly lucky. If not, see what he can do about putting a package together for you. What would it be worth to know that everything you are getting is legit, and not worrying about what other names the company does business as, or how many times they have been sued? The best deal isn't always the absolute lowest price, but it might be the deal with the least risk and a fair price. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing....

There are obviously a lot of very good installers on this list, scattered around the country, and maybe even the world. The best piece of information I got from this list is not how to bypass the D3, but where to find a great installer.

Think about it.....
