In-Dash Car Stereo Installation

Best Buy… I can’t say enough about last weeks install day for my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. Let’s go back…. I had bought the Jeep with a decent system, a Sony receiver, which I kept and had another company put new wiring and marine grade speakers throughout. I keep the top down and a few weeks ago, the rains got the receiver wet and it was non functioning. My genius self thought there was something I could do and just made matters worse. Father’s Day came and I found an open box Sony receiver, bought it and had it shipped to me. I didn’t want to touch it after messing with the rain soaked receiver, so I made an appointment. It was for Tuesday at 12:00. Tuesday came and I had an early doctors appointment the day before. What I had been nursing for months in my pelvic area was given an X-ray , then Ultra Sound the week earlier and results were in. I thought a deep pull or strain. Not quite… it’s Cancer…. Testicular, Pelvic Lymphnome Cancer, a chance at Lung Cancer and there are places in my mouth…tongue and gum cancer. A true shock to all in my circle and my family. Life is changing at a rapid pace for me today, but the Tuesday of the install, I dropped the Jeep off, only to get a call from the the guys doing the work. They needed a wiring harness for the amp to connect right to the speakers, the didn’t seem to have it. I love my music, and if you are like me, bad news seems to push aside when that song is in my ear and taking me along the road, but now it was bad news, no music and family coming in to support. I went back and the guys found the wiring harnes and they needed a little more time. I stated my new found news and it seemed to drive the guys to get the long job done that day. As the job continued, the receiver wasn’t working correct. Rob, the install manager (I believe that’s his name) went to management, explained the situation and the Best Buy manager gave me a brand new receiver in exchange for the faulty one which has been installed. All in all… I don’t know what the future holds for me, but while I’m making my way down the road to appointment after appointment, I’ve got tunes, really loud tunes and the day I hand my daughter this Jeep… she will be able to drive… music on High, smiling thinking about her father.

Best Buy Geek Squad (in particular Sergio from the El Centro branch) installed my stereo head unit and subsequently a Viper alarm system into my 2010 Ford F-250. Sergio applied his expertise to the entire process including recommendation, diagnostic, ordering, and install. He knew exactly what would work for my installation (including harnesses and adapters/converters) to meet my expectations. Sergio was extremely polite, respectful, and customer service oriented including his patience with me as I know very little about the nature of vehicle electronics and he entertained and answered all of my amateur inquiries. Sergio completed the install as scheduled, in a practical time frame, and I was more than satisfied the work Sergio completed as my truck was returned to complete factory condition with the install done correct the first time. I highly recommend having this kind of work performed at Best Buy El Centro as opposed to other local stereo shops as I shopped around prior to the install, and found that the other shops did not carry the higher quality stereo head by Sony, and although the cost was a bit cheaper for the install, with Best Buy you have the peace-of-mind that your install is performed using the highest quality materials (such as wires, tape, etc.) that will last for the lifetime of the vehicle, vs. the most cost-efficient to keep the overhead of the stereo shop low. Best Buy stands by their work and their products, while the other guys won’t offer a guarantee for their work. Thank you Best Buy and especially Sergio V. for a job well done the first time! -ShawnM

I purchased this while on sale, but regardless the price is hard to beat. Frank at the Goleta location did a great job setting up my new head unit, and has been amazing with helping out with some small issues I ran into afterwards. Recommend!

Finished within time promised. I suggest you NEVER order installation ONLINE！ NEVER！ What you should be doing is to go in in person to the Installation Department and talk to the installation guys and they can explain to you what you need to order and what you wanted to be installed. THEN they can order all the parts base on what you want in front of you. Taking any misunderstanding out of the process. Those guys are very knowledgable. Basically saying they know their stuffs. I did order my audio and installation online and missed 5 parts for my 2012 Sienna. The website doesn't say what parts are needed for whatever function. Couple controll modules and regulators needed for backup camera and steering wheel control were needed and the web says nothing. Eventually got to reschedule for 2 weeks after since they usually don't have all the parts in stock. Once all the parts are in, the audio and rear camera works perfect and looks amazing.

SO glad I chose to come here to get my radio installed. The gentleman at the counter, as well as the one doing the install were both wonderful! I’ll definitely bring my car back — I have a blown out speaker and will replace as soon as I can!
