i went to install my pioneer avic d3 today at the local sound shop in BK(brooklyn)...the dude in the store tells me he cant install it because double dins dont fit in the ls PERIOD! i told him to check out LVC and get some info and still a no go.. im thinking about doing it myself can anyone walk me thru this or give me the number to a good install place in the BK area

I'm going to purchase the Kenwood DDX512 here real soon and am going to get a sub in the trunk as well. Thinking about having someone install it. Do you have the LSK bezel to prove it to him? Let me know how that goes

any body that says that a double din wont fit DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, find a new shop, they oviously specialize in focus's and civic's. too many places go by the policy that "if we dont stock a dash kit then it cant be done" even if they could mod the nav bezel, i would be supprised if they could get the fact subs to work

i'm thinking they probably do it for one main reason..."to cover their own a$$". they just don't want to be held responsible if something does go wrong
yea i was guessing that aswell but he also said that theres a feature on LS's that once you un plug the factory radio the car shuts off (security feature) and wont restART until its reprogramed! true/false?

ive worked on many bmw's, benze's, audi's and a couple of astins and have never heard of the radio disabeling the car. a lot of radios will lock themselves out but not the car. just another case of someone making sh!t up to make you think they know what they are talking about when in reality they have no clue and will not admit to it
lmfaoo i brought my computer to the shop today and showed him this thread and he was speachless i just told him he need to study more before he offers false advice he now offers to do it for half the original quote...i told him no thanks i rather try my own self install i got the custom bezel made today so pics should be up by tuesday. thanks for all the advice...RIMS NEXT
