Default Shops/Places to Install & Bypass Navigation

Hey SL! (sorry, didn't know if this would be more appropriate in Owner's Lounge or ICE)

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!

You'll probably get better responses in regional.

The installation is fairly complicated, at least as car stereo installs go, but bypassing is usually pretty simple. A big store will NOT do it for you and you'll have to take your chances at little stores - I recommend that you figure out what has to be done (to make sure you can do it), then have it professionally installed and do the bypass yourself. The bypass on my Pioneer AVIC-D2 was dead simple. I'm sure you could do it on the Pioneer.

man it is easy to install if you look around all you need to do is drill the hole 1/4" back more and it will make it sit where you need it to so you can close the cubby next the eclipse will be plug and play with your steering wheel control and the rest just color match with the aftermarket adaptor and then just ground the parking brake wire and you will be able to view dvd's while driving and scroll through the navi DIY they will rip you off at a shop i have been doing this for a while
