what most people dont realise about car electronics is that its actually 2 companies operating in the same building. the company/person you had a problem with is oakland electronics and they do all the installing for car electronics...
I would love to add properly to this post but i feel it would be deemed unprofessional as i run my own company less than 2 miles from said offender, but if anybody felt the need to drag an oversized gentleman over a shop counter and dig him in the head i can provide multimap directions to car...
