[QUOTE="greynolds, post: 4906898, member: 593834"] Since I don't know how to do some aspects of the install, I don't have much choice other than to pay what it takes. I left the shop pretty happy as I hadn't noticed the problems yet. Also keep in mind that my mind was largely focused on worrying about my dad. They demoed some of the system with me there. The Sirius wasn't activated yet, but they showed me that the weather channel worked and showed me how to get the Sirius ID I would need to activate. They didn't demo the iPod interface (and I didn't realize that my older iPod Photo can't be controlled by it so I'll need to get a new iPod - mine needs a new battery and I've run out of space on it anyway). They did demo the CD player working. They did demo the radio briefly on a local station that happened to be coming in - I noticed on the drive home that the scan feature was skipping over known STRONG local stations. They helped me get my Blackberry synced with the head unit. So they gave a reasonable walk through, but not a complete demo of everything either and I do feel they should have caught the antenna problem but can forgive them for it. Like I said, I'm not too upset about the antenna connection, that should be simple enough to fix. I probably should have given the rear compartment a more complete going over before I left, but like I said my mind was on my dad and everything LOOKED ok there. The damage to the dashboard wasn't immediately apparent - good light is needed to really see it - and I'm not going to make a huge fuss over it but will definitely mention it to them. That's my intent and it does have a warranty. I'll certainly give them a chance to make it right and won't name them here unless it seems appropriate to do so - I just needed to vent. [/QUOTE]
