Default FL Audio install (Headunit and Back up camera)

Looking to get a aftermarket head unit And back up camera installed on a base c6. I am located in south Florida area. Any shop recommendations or Any of you local guys have experience Doing it yourself? I figured if I took it it to Best Buy audio department then it would be a gamble. Thanks in advance.

I would think there are videos out there with suggestions on Head units and installation. Back up can be simple to more complicated. Wireless to wired, manual over ride for parking aid etc.
I would attempt a DIY as work ethics is terrible now a days.

​​​​​​Good luck

okay great thanks. I would try to tackle it myself but I currently only got one arm to work with from a recent surgery so I’m thinking twice about attempting.

Elite Audio in Jensen Beach. Very neat and professional. Would definitely recommend them. One thing to note - the upgrade we did (front & rear camera, Kenwood DMX 9707S receiver, Sirius tuner) may have affected the TPM system. Something is triggering a service system message with XX readings. From what I’ve read, it may be due to an errant signal interfering with the TPM signal to the computer. The problem is intermittent and I’ll generally get the service message roughly a half hour after driving. The message does clear up after shutting down. Spoke with Elite and they are baffled by this. Next step for me is to get the code read the next time the message appears. This should help to figure whether the problem is in fact caused by the new equipment or a problem with the TPM sensors.

Florida is a big State, and S Florida is also big, and asking for installer, what's your locations, is it a secret!

When asking questions, you should put your locations in your avator.

Understand what you’re saying bdvet. When the OP asked about a “So Florida” location I assumed he would be familiar with Jensen Beach. That said, if not, I figured the OP would Google it.
