To follow up on an old post of mine, looking for a reputable shop that could install a Z-1 for me sometime later this Fall and would install one that I bought elsewhere. I went to a shop recommended here that wont warranty any work they do on products brought in from the outside - even if its directly from a Pioneer dealer and fully waranteed (6thave is probably where I would get it from). After a lot of hemming around, I do understand their position. But mine was hey, I can save $1,000 on this unit by buying it elsewhere, I'm going to flip that money straight back to you to install it, plus pay you another $800-$1000 for addons (bluetooth, Ipod, rearview) - cant we work something out? No deal, no work out. So fine, again, its their shop and I can see their side of the fence.

Any place local to Northern VA that would do this kind of work? Circuit City said they would install it for $100 after paying full price for it

 

DYI?
i would do mine my self.. can not trust installer..

 

That would full under the "I would if I could" category. I've done electrical work and all sorts of stuff on my house but never touched a thing in my car - for better or worse. I have a dealership I trust to do everything else, would like to find a good audio shop to do the same.

 

think Myer-Emco near Baileys Crossroads will install your own stuff (e.g. not bought from them). Might be wrong, but that's what I recall. And Katz Car Audio on Glebe might as well.

But honestly, installing it yourself wouldn't be that hard. I'm lame with most stuff with my car, but did do my own deck install. Vury easy.

 

If you wanna make the drive, I will install it for you no charge.

 

wow, so giving!!

 

Diy, its really very simple
