[QUOTE="Saint211, post: 5376603, member: 564903"] Lol... a lot of ignorant people in this thread... and a lot of stupid generalizations. Most of the shitty work I've repaired has been from mom and pops. A couple places around here do the absolute ugliest alarm/keyless/rem start installs. Best Buy's prices are almost always cheaper than mom and pops on labor. They offer lifetime of the vehicle warranty on all labor. They have lifetime warranty on both labor and product for alarm/rem start/keyless. They also offer 4 year service plans on equipment. As far as I know, the longest warranty offered by a mom and pop around here is 3 months... just enough to get yo through one cold *** winter. Every installer makes mistakes or has bad installs once in a while... even the best. I have worked for them. I guess it JUST HIT ME. I should give up car audio because I dont know anything about it.. period. Even though Im always on here helping people by sharing my knowledge. Moreover... I just realized im also a community college drop-out(?) that cant even run a power wire. Some funny stories: Got a sat radio that a mom and pop supposedly "installed." They didnt even know where to tap for ACC power so they wadded the power transformer up in the fuse panel and ran the wires so it looked hooked up. And they also didnt even have the simple gm and reverse gm adaptors so they wouldnt install his FM direct. Several panels were damaged. Got a deck hooked up incorrectly by a mom and pop. They attempted to tap the fusebox(ugly) for ACC power. However they tapped a low cureent line and it kept blowing fuses as wel las eventually blowing teh radio somehow. Maybe because they used the wrong WIRE harness in the vehicle. Well ,the saturn harness WILL work if you make it work, but it doesnt integrate wit hthe data system so he now has a constant oil temp, tire pressure and airbag warning readout. His door trigger is damaged somehow.. so ti wont shuit the radio off or prompt door chimes. But those dont even come close to trumping do it yourself failures. [/QUOTE]
