I remember the days when my car was my only transportation and regardless of went wrong I had to get it fixed to get to work the next day. Some of the best shade tree engineering came from DIYers in that squeeze.

New tires, Fuzion Touring. Balance may be off a little, some vibration at 70+.

Just went through 5 days of enduring the installation from hell (and I was a mobile electronics installer professionally)... pretty straight forward but very labor and time intensive. But Avin Avant 2 is in. Have to do some tweaking with my rear view cam splice as it's getting interference, but other than that...
A detailed install PDF and thread will be posted soon. Took 81 pics to detail the install one painful step at a time.

What warranted the removal of everything? I can't wait to see what you wrote. I want to go with the avant 2 as well. At least these interiors are easy to take apart!

Whoa! I salute this project. I have to say I have no guts / probably the skill set to take this on (maybe with gran patron and pinching my ego.. I might but the day after ... What have I done!!!.... Just kidding)
How much do you charge on an average labor wise for this particular installation? Quote:

Why did you have to disassemble this much for Avant? Thought they should be plug and play with little modification.
Some sound deadening? |

For an identical setup to mine... I would charge close to a grand. I had at least 8 hours a day into for 5 days (some days more). So a full week in labor. The install could be done quicker I'm sure, but I am pretty OCD with my wiring and panel alignment. If you have a non-nav factory setup then it's a lot easier. I pulled the whole interior to run cabling for future amps, extension fakra cable, future sub, plus backup camera. And a few other things as well. Also, my wife wanted me to pull the interior too so she could do her signature detail in the living room. She took 3 days to detail all the panels, carpets, etc. She does an amazing job and now the interior looks brand new.
