No way in he** I would let a Circuit City kid install anything in my car, not even my truck.

Well that's a bit strong, I guess if you wanted to invest the time to watch them work on other cars and then they let you hover.. but I'd still worry about them knowing enough to do it right.

I think there's a guy who's forum handle in "Flareside" that has an LMB C6 he installed an AVIC D3 in and lives up in your general direction. Do a search on AVIC in this section and you should turn up his thread, it was fairly recent. Might want to drop him a PM, maybe he's like me and works for beer. I'd be glad to help ya, but I'm not really very local for ya down here by Philly.

Thanks for the reply.I never thought that I was **** until getting my vette. My first oil change, a Chevy dealer tried to lift it up by the rocker panels and knew nothing about pucks or the correct points listed in the manual. Do we really have to watch everything that is done to it?
The lack of pride in doing a job is sometime in the past.

Unfortunately you do have to watch everything. I am lucky, there is a shop that specializes in vettes less than 10 minutes from me. The owner is pretty cool. He tells alot about my vette.

Stay away from Circuit City. Remember they just fired all of their high payed experienced professionals and replaced them with rookies. Not the kids fault, they just haven't been properly trained by the big corporation.

Yes, unfortunately we really do . Much like the kids at Circuit City, the guys at dealerships and practically every service shop treat the Vette like every other car cause "it's a Chevy." Human nature, but as WE know, they're VERY different.
