Default Car Audio Installation

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any reccomendations for car audio installation. I picked up a Pioneer Avic - X920BT and I'm looking for shop/somebody to install. If anyone is qualified to do it please send me a PM.


Thanks

I don't have time to do it as a most of my free time is spent with my 5 week old new born baby.

I don't mine spending a few dollars to get it done right...

Cars > babies > woman, jk
mmm theres actually a few shops, any shop can do it properly, depends where you live man, there is a place in concord (they moved from newmarket) they do really clean nice installs of subs etc, so deck install is a piece of cake.
i cant think of the shop of top of my head..
btw pretty sure automatrix would be able to install a deck without a problem too (just beside york dale, give ed a call)

i wonder if Ed from automatrix can do audio stuff if you supply the parts. He's got lots of experience wiring all kinds of electronics for his taxi customers.

I feel like it would take more time to drive the car to shop. Wait around for them to do it. Or come back later and get it. Taking more time. When ur sitting on ur couch wire up the harnesses together takes 5mins Mabey. Then go out to ur car and plug it in basically.

I take my stuff to Cameron at Chase auto. he did my rear view camera install, and did a amazing job. we ran into a bunch of time delays but he still honored the price he quoted me. he didnt cut any corners. all connections were soldered together, for the best connection.
Good guys to go to.

He can, anyone can... he has done more complicated wiring, this is just splicing 10 wires togeather and popping out the center console along with 6 screws.
