Default Stereo Upgrade

I have am fairly new to the forum (just bought a 06 5 months ago) and am interested in replacing my head unit as a starting point. I have installed other stereos in my other vehicles but am nervous about undertaking this task sue to many of the posts I've read about how easily things have gone wrong.
So I thought I would have it professionally installed. I have visited numerous stereo installers in the Tampa Bay area and have not had a good feeling withi any of them.

Has anyone had a good experience with a stereo installer in the Tampa Bay Area. Any advice is welcomed.

Hey Chris -

You should get some good advice from people in this forum.

But for best local info, you should post the same thread in the Forums --> Events/Regional --> Southeast section. You'll get local people knowing local installers. As I mentioned, in my area I had a local guru (pentavolvo) that doesn't work for a retail outlet put it in. He's done many local Vettes and knows everything about it. No doubt you'll be able to find someone similar locally, to at the very least, give you advice.

Good luck with the install!
