Just bought an avic d2 hu online and wanted to install it. I live in irvine, and have minimal av install experience and don't want to tackle installing this gps system. Anyone have experience with best buy in tustin market place (on el camino real rd)? or would you suggest somewhere else? thanks

 

Try the circuit city in Newport Beach's fashion island. Ask for Bill Pool, he does great work. Tell him Kevin sent you

 

hmmm ok, I guess i can try circuit city. but does anyone have experience with best buy in tustin?

 

not sure how good their installers there are. they dont have much in car audio there. i would take it to a more reputable shop for installing. maybe try autobacs in garden grove or west coast in lake forest.

 

i use to work at that best buy. while i was working there, the guys in the install bay knew their stuff. If you go there ask for Sal, tell him mike bui sent you.

 

Thanks silv3rsx. I will ask for sal. They are currently waiting for a dash kit for me. Can't wait for them to install.

 

I've worked at big box and custom shops. Going to a custom shop does not get you a more knowledgeable installer. Chances are the guy at best buy has got his hands on far more cars than the custom installer. If you're just getting a hu installed, best buy is fine.

 

There is a really good guy at the Best Buy in Lake Forest/Irvine... cant remember his name for some reason right now, but my buddy used to work there and he did all of our stuff... great work. In fact, my buddy had him install dvd/nav and all new speakers in his new Cobra just 2 days ago... good guy
