Install price?

Spoke with a friend of mine who owns a brick and mortar shop locally here in PA. Last night. He priced this install at just under $350

I would keep my car stock if the only shop in town gave me that dam estimate. I did my own install, no expert, but I'm pretty decent as I've been doing my own installs since a teenager.

It's easy. If you get stuck, take a picture or two of whatever it is that confused you and people will help. Lots of brains on this forum.

I would advise you adding a back up cam and extra RCA line to the list. Back up cams are cheap so it would be a good idea to install it while your already at it. The other thing is to hook up the extra RCA to the subwoofer like and just run that to the amp area. I don't see a Sub on your list (yet), but once you install the new speakers, you might reconsider. All you would have to do is split the power, ground, and remote wire to the sub amp, plug the sub RCA in, and run wires to the sub and your set.

I'm just doing the head unit now. I will get to the amp after I purchase the zenclosure and probably add the back up cam when I do that. I'm al ready stuck so pictures will come shortly lol.

Once you get your harness connected, it will be plug and play.

The ASWC has a connector that I have no idea where it goes. I'm sure I could figure out the wires but the connector is different story.

If this popped up where I work you'd be looking at $250 for all labor...

$70 TO INSTALL ASWC? WHAT THE ****?

I agree it's not a POS but I think the Maestro is better

and dat is part of the misconception with ASWC. you need to have the latest firmware or it does not work properly. 99% of the time, people can't get it to run first try on the Z. the 1% success rate is Big himself.

Guess I'm in the 1%. I just hooked mine up per instruction and it simply works. Held down one button, turned on the car and the rest is history.
