After purchasing a $1000.00 Kenwood Radio w/ 7 inch display, (at Best Buy in Desin, Fl.) I had them install it so I could listen to it on the way home. After about a week and a half, the radio wouldn't come on. I took it back to have the technition look at it, and after a few minutes he called and said it was ready to go. After backing out of the garage I turned my Air Conditioning on, only to find out it no longer worked. I ask the tech if he would look at it for me, and told him it worked when I came in. He said,"It looks like the wires are burnt, and I didn't touch the AC." The AC control panel is located directly below the radio. The next day I took it to the dealership, and was told the AC Control Panel was bad. It ended up cost $250.00 to replace. So, after it was all said and done, between the cost of installation and a new AC control panel, was $360.00. So, I recommend getting it install somewhere else.
What's great about it: I have a shiny new AC Control Panel :-)
