I think I am going to give up and take my 01 Coupe to Bestbuy. There just seems to be too many what ifs, and make sure you connect this to this, and this wont fit. I have installed H/U Before, but this seems way over my head. Anybody dropped off a vette and said put this H/U in?
Mine is currently at a local shop (not a chain) having a Pioneer D3, bluetooth adapter, Ipod Adapter, and backup camera installed
I agree with you...just too many things to hook up and take apart. To me...it's really about the time. I think that would be an all weekend project for me...and I just can't afford it ATM.
In addition...if you have a problem you can take it back to them and have them correct the problem.
I work at best buy and our bay knows vettes.. lol. BUT I would be leary of trusting my vette at another bestbuy. I don't know them fools and they aint touching my baby
we could talk your through it and have it work better then bestbuy could unless someone there actually knows vettes
...no way in hell I was having some hack at Best Buy or any other chain store go digging around my Vette. Some may know what they're doing, the vast majority won't. Even the shop I used (which is the best in town) doesn't see alot of newer Vettes and was unclear on how to tap into the low-line outputs. They will have to do some more work but everything is clean and they didn't break anything.
Go find a local shop that specializes in car audio to do it, your odds of not having any issues (things frying, rattling, etc.) related to their work is much better.

I agree with everything you said in there was right. I've worked at a smaller install shop in Knoxville and now bestbuy (gotta go where they pay the most right?) and I can honestly tell you I would have a HARD time letting any shop do the work. I've seen so many botched jobs that with all the panels on you have no clue and I'll give you a HUGE heads up. Make sure they put all the bolts back in. I know at every place I've worked if there is a hard bolt to get to and they can avoid putting it back in they will. I hate having to go back and redo these cars and someone else doing a hack job. There are some of us out there who take our jobs seriously (especially for fellow corvette owners! ) but most of the people in this business don't care and love shortcuts.
