Hey SL!

Just wondering what are some very good reputable shops/places that will install and bypass a navigation system for a good price?

I'm getting a Eclipse AVN5510 and I need it bypass plus for them to modify the bracket so that the radio door will fully close.

A lot of people dislike Circuity City and Best Buy for some reason.

Anyways, let me hear some suggestions of places and the price if known.

Thanks a lot!

Jason at KingPin Car Audio / Motoring is definitely the place to go.

They also carry the AVN 5510, plugs into factory wiring harness and utilizes factory steering wheel controls....not to mention the best navigation interface in my opinion.

Most if not all big box retail shops will not bypass the e brake requirement as it is against the law.

For general installations I have had good experiences with Car Toys and Fry's Electronics. I have had not so favorable experiences with Circuit City and Best Buy. I loved Magnolia but they don't do car audio stuff any longer :(.

so i called up king pin car audio and they won't bypass it for me. i just want it bypass so i can use the POI while driving. i'm not going to watch movies while i'm driving. he told me it's a $5000 fine! so i need another place that's willing to bypass it for me that's also reputable. the install from king pin is $290. that's a little high for me.

thanks.

eh... you can get it to work w/o bypas by pulling 1 click on the e-brake, it'll give u axs to the nav controlls, but wont engage your brakes at all

I think you'll have to do the bypass yourself as no reputable shop will do it out of liability and legality.

Heck I was able to do the bypass I'm pretty sure if I can do it a monkey can.

Wiring is NOT my best point.

just connect the parking wire here. i think the parking wire was green.

this pic was someone's D3, I grounded my 5510 at the same place.
