best buy wants to charge $100 for installation even if i buy the stereo there. they said $50 for the labor and $50 for the parts. as for the parts, they said i need a wire harness and maybe an antennae harness (?). is that true? don't new stereos already come with that stuff in the box??//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

no that is right for bb its 50 labor then dash kit wiring harness and antenna adaptor and 5 for misc parts so its normally 105 or more for a basic radio

um u have 5000 posts on a car audio forum and you think wire harnesses/antenna adaptors for your car come in the box with your deck somehow??

WTF FAIL!

not to mention, that you can't install something as petty as a deck

also since you cant do it yourself, you wanna take it to Bestbuy lmao at least get it done at a reputable local shop

Fail thread of the year

He's a thunderdome champion.

True, but I've got much respect for Adio, if he were local, I'd install it for him free.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Of course he would then need to take it to a real installer to fix my blunders.
