Lol Rob You'll be the first one I'm calling when/if I decide to get an aftermarket deck or nav system. Maybe I can take the d3 off your hands, but it won't be for a month or so.

Typical newbie install. Not all installers are created equally. There are good techs that work in retail stores. Always get to know your tech before they touch your car. Ask a lot of install questions. Ask them about their experience. Don't shun all big retail stores because that circuit city store's install manager was too stupid to let someone with more training or experience perform the install. I do work for Best Buy and I do trust my techs. (I'm going to have them install a remote start and component speakers in my altima, the tweeter looks like it'll be a pain in the ***) I have a good bit of experience in the mobile audio business (I used to work for a friend that ran a custom audio shop), but I'm lazy so I'm having them do it. I learned a lot and I still ask my tech's stupid questions and they give me good, useful answers. I've never seen them clip a harness, or do anything that would be questionable. We've had a Viper, a few $80-90,000 Mercedes, and a few other nice cars that I can't think of right now. I'm not trying to say all best buys have good techs like mine is lucky to have, but remember, meet your tech, not all techs are hired equally.

From what I have read about this on other forums there is a lot more going on here than you could infer from that article. It apparently was a good cc installer (there a few and far between but they are out there) and customer had to have that in his car even though it wouldn't fit. There were release forms signed and everything because they had to modify the air ducts ect.

There were also grossly inflated estimates for repairs. I saw a jack on the list when it was posted. I don't know but I think even the most inept installer can't f-up your jack.

I guess it comes down to if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.
