F'ing BB! Burned twice!

DAMMIT!!! I know, I know... never go back to a place that burned you the first time, but they were easy to get to...

Friend asked me to install his stereo, said sure, went to BB to pick up the antenna adaptor, wiring harness, and dash kit for an 02 chevy S-10... Asked an "ASSociate to locate them for me, brings them back and I notice that is states "up to 2001"... I say, truck is an 02, BB says this will fit... Never worked on a chevy before, I say ok, and leave.

Get home, and I unplug the stock stereo, and compare the BB wiring harness and notice they are COMPLETELY different. Than i notice EVERYTHING I bought will not fit...

Bottom line, DO NOT SHOP AT BB...

let the flaming begin...

Go there get your part numbers and then go to a shop.

If they dont sell metra...They will be able to cross refrence it with their brand of kits...whether it best kits or another brand.

Don't blame Best Buy that you were unaware of what you were buying.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

um take it back and get a proper one? should not be hard..

yeah yeah... I know.. . I took everything back and got the right shat at another store... It's all in... Guess I put too much confidence in their competence....

they should have been competent enough to know that it would or would not fit.... unfortunately we all need to learn that bb employees in general are not

strangely the same thing happened to one of my friends recently, exactly.

unfortunately the guy that was helping him install just hacked the whole thing to make it work.

and left me a good 2 hours work fixing it..

i would have never believed them that they would fit, yet i would never ask anyone at BB to find me anything. Id find it myself or leave.

The dash kits/wiring harnesses are kept in the install bay.........you NEED an employee to get you them. Either way, it was your fault just as much as theirs, end of story.

There's FAR too many stupid people in this world.............................................

x2. Some are retarded. I was lookin to test out a head unit there and the guy asks if I needed help. I told him I just wanna check out a head unit that I'm considering for my system. I listed what I got and he looked dumbfounded. When I mentioned I had Boston Acoustic Z6 comps, he said "yeahhhhh, uhhh Boston." From my experience I've found Circuit City employees to be much more knowledgeable.
