Car Audio Installation

Hi all,
I just bought a in dash dvd video and tried to install but I just can't figure it out.

Can anyone recommend any installation place in around Milpitas, San Jose area?

I am open to having one of the members install as well, pm me.

This might be a bit of a drive, but go to Sound Innovations in Hayward.

No offense, but I would not trust my car with best buy. I had them install my in dash dvd in my acura cl and when it was time to sell it, I pulled the dvd out and there was screws missing, wires spliced and taped up, etc... G is to precious to give it to someone like that.

i second that. Ernesto does really good work but sometime's he's backed up for two weeks. If he's not available, go to autosound specialists (www.autosoundspecialists) in union city. Kenny and the staff there do really good work.

for kartunez i was considering getting my pioneer avic z3 intalled there, they said it would be approx. $150+ for the install. but that depends on what you want to have done and weather or not you have all the parts (ie: wiring harness, antenna adapter, steerinwheel controls, ipod hokup, bluetooth, xm/sirius radio etc.... the list goes on) so u their prices are specific based on a case by case situation. I would give them a call and get a quote. You make pay a bit more, but it will be QUALITY and the do a lot of work on G35's and are farmiliar with the assembly and dissasembly of the dash and head unit. some shops will just try to "jimmy" your old radio out, and trust me, you dont want to make the mistake of taking it to best buy and having them scratch the brushed aluminum console.

hope that helps.

basically, there is no power to the stereo. I will need to find out if the fuse is blown, maybe my connection is wrong or the stereo is DOA.

i have the NN032 from walmart

You can try Custom audio... in Mt.view the owners name is Le. he does some of the greats jobs around here...I know cause I use to do it too. and every audio place around the south bay the owners use to work for auto sound and security on blossom hill at Oakridge before they moved.

so you can try:
Custom audio-Mt.view
Auto sound & security- San Jose off of Capital (not sure if there work is still good)
Dynamic Audio- off First st.(Good people there too)

But I would go with Custom. Good luck!
