    I'm in Cobb county and I am looking for a good place to take my new HU to be installed. I bought it at best buy but I'm not gonna let those guys touch my car. I have heard too many horror stories. TIA and everyone have a great night.

    Best buy did my avic-d3. The only reason I let them touch it was because it was same day and free. The installer was totally cool with me being in the way and making sure thing went smoothly.

    I dont have the harness actually. I was gonna have it done because I also have a sirius satillite and wanted it hooked up nice and clean. Not sure where to put the antenna for the sirius. So you guys think i should do it myself?

    i used to work at the best buy in kennesaw. and i would personally let any of those guys install my stereo. but if ur still unsure, go up there and ask for jamey. he's a great guy, not sure if he will actually be free enough to install a car stereo around this time of year (as he is a manager now), but if you talk to him tell him Jake (that used to work there, and drive a WRX) sent you to him.

    I live close to Face and i could lend a hand too. I can help run the antenna for your sat. radio too. If you wanna see my install of my alpine w200 (double din touch screen) let me know. I can get all your wires back to the trunk too if you want. Thats where my navi antenna is. Email me at dusty.king@comcast.net if you want some help. I'm available next week if you want. I got all the tools you need.
