ok so we all know their "database" is thoroughly inaccurate when it comes to our cars. does anyone know whether they'll still give you the free install accesories that are supposed to come with a HU purchase even though their "advisor" says it won't fit? it won't apply the discount if you add the harness/mounting kit to your cart manually.

i mostly just want the free wiring harness since their mounting kit eliminates the compartment under the deck...

wha'd you guys use to mount your aftermarket decks? can we take brackets off the OEM unit and use those?

i'm looking at getting this deck btw:

Yes, crutchfield will give you the mounting hardware for free but save yourself some cash. On our cars you just use the OEM brackets from the stock stereo to mount. Only thing you really need is a harness adapter and that can be picked up at most electronic shops for about $15 or less. I'll have to check, but I think I might even have one sitting in my garage. If I have it, you can have it for free just cover the shipping.

Cheaper then crutchfield and a pretty reputable ebay seller.

hmm yea i know crutchfield is on the expensive side since their an authorized dealer. i was kinda leaning towards going with them just for the sake of warranty. you guys haven't had any problems buying fron unauthorized dealers? i mean if the HU craps out, you're kinda SOL right?

Crutchfield has always been overpriced. If you're worried about a HU shitting the bed, don't buy a cheap ass HU! When it comes to warranty, you could get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a cow's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it? I have a 3+ year old Pioneer Premier in the Talon. Works just fine. I have a 3+ year old Alpine in the Galant. Same deal. I'd stick with Pioneer, Alpine, or maybe Kenwood.

LOL ummm ok. cow's ass. got it. where'd you pickup your premier from? i guess i'm a little hesitant towards purchasing a HU from non-authorized dealers. pretty much means you don't have a warranty, right?
