AVIC-D3 install in Houston
Anyone know of a shop where I can get an AVIC-D3 installed in Houston and have it done RIGHT the first time? WOuld like someone who has done AVIC install's on C6's before who knows all the in's and out's. I'd be willing to pay extra to make sure it's done right. Thanks for the help.

Though as I read through that.. most of the hesitation was over price. Looks like there are a couple of top notch installers recommended but the guys were unsure about price. You said you didn't mind paying the money to have it done right....

I spoke with them and they said they have never put any AVIC in a C6. Would like to find a shop that's done it before.

Don't get hung up on asking about any individual unit/brand having been installed. Knowing the car is WAY more important than knowing the head unit. The key for doing a NAV install is knowing where to tap in for VSS, and if you're installing a rear view camera the reverse signal. The rest of it is just car stereo install. If they've installed any double-din NAV unit then the AVIC shouldn't be any trouble.

Daniel- I may be doing that, if I do I would be more than willing to take you up on your offer.
Thanks for the comments from the rest of you guys.
VSS wire- why is it that I see some people tapping this wire in the from left wheel well and some people say you can do it behind the instrument cluster? Wouldn't that be a better place?
