IIWEY 10" installation on 2010 RX2010 covering the old console display, no dangling cables.

I bought a IIWEY 10" system from Amazon then realized it's difficult for me to install nicely on my 2010 RX350. So I looked around and found Audiowerk, first I have to say 3.5 Yelp rating was kinda worrying but after meeting Sean and listening to him explaining through the process made me at ease. I know every customer may have their own experience but for me it was great. Also, after it was installed because I couldn't figure out how to connect the phone audio back to the car stereo, I asked whether they can help me with the AUX audio connection and Sean agreed to help. But now I figure out how to connect through Bluetooth bridging things work greatly. This is a neighborhood shop that has been there for the last 25 years. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone who wants a more modern stereo setup without having to go all the way to get a new car.

Amazing job! Went in to get an after market stereo I had bought and it was installed in about 2 hours. Great price, quick turnaround, and great service overall! Highly recommend going here to get your car stereo!

This business wasted my time. I send pictures of my key remote and they qoute me $75 for the extra remote part and labor. Sean called me and ask when will I be there? I said I am on the way. When I get there he said $150 total, since he has to do diagnostic on my van to program the new remote.

They did great work on my Sport Trac, installed a after market stereo I got from ebay. I will be returning the stereo to ebay and get something from them instead.

Super happy with the service here. I came into get CarPlay on my 2016 M235i. Sean took care of me and even addressed an issue with the head unit being reset. Gave me clear instructions and the work was clean with no issues or no trim damage in my car. I highly recommend the shop for any audio related work. Very knowledgeable and professional. read more

I used Yelp Projects to get quotes for some dash cam installs. After a couple days, Sean replied and his pricing was the best for my needs. Brought the cars in and noted what looked like classic cars in the back and while waiting, another customer with one of those weekend-only cars came in with their vehicle. Doesn't look bad when a shop with car enthusiast vehicles are being worked on there, right? Cams were installed in under 90 min per vehicle, cams are working fine, thank you Audiowerk! read more

Major major shoutout to Sean. I know nothing about sound systems and wiring and Sean helped me out a ton. I got a car last year and the previous owner had left all the wiring for subwoofer and the previous radio in the vehicle, so I drove around with no bass for a year. When I got there Sean helped me pick out 2 12" kicker down firing subwoofers which I was looking for. He also helped me out with a cool amp. He helped me with some information as far as how to get speaker carpeting for a trunk floorboard I made. Sean is a knowledgeable guy and very friendly. Saved me money and fixed some short circuiting issues I had for free. Shows that this small business values their customer. Had a great experience here got me in and out within an hour :) read more

Don't waste your time here. This place is a scam shop. I was quoted pricing with an alarm system and when Sean did the installation, they installed a lower end alarm system! He said that my car required the lower end model, but up-charged me because he said they had to take a couple of days to do the install! SCAM! After install, I had so many problems with the alarm and camera system, he never got it fixed. The installation was a botched job and drilled a quarter size hole on my rear bumper to run a VERY thin wire! Mind you my car was a collector model and it would have been common sense to preserve the car''s value. Sean is a scam artist and the shop is a complete trash pit. I should have went with my gut feeling, but he is a good con artist with no morales. He took advantage of a trusting person and my family. Don't go here for any work and listen to what your gut is telling you. read more

DO NOT COME HERE FOR ANYTHING. I am not the first person leaving a review here warning other people not to come. Sean is a complete scumbag and will take advantage of you and unconscionably rip you off. DONT come here. For anything. This is my personal experience here. Lets start with the good news. There isnt any good news, so lets move on. They charge way over retail for all their products so theres no reason to come here for any of that. Their labor rates are ridiculous and their install jobs are garbage using garbage products so theres no reason to come here for that, either. There is NO REASON to come here. They installed my amplifier and subwoofer using CCA wiring, which means Sean is too cheap to buy copper wires, which IS the industry standard. I spent over two grand here, there was absolutely NO REASON *not* to use copper wire for my setup. I was running way to much current through CCA. Those wires very easily could have melted through their insulation causing either a short circuit, damaged equipment, or a fire in my car. Sean sold me the wrong amplifier and lied about it. Sean sold me the wrong enclosure and lied about it. I asked Sean if he used CCA wiring in my car and he lied about that. He lied when I told him I *thought* I needed a capacitor and ripped me off for that install. (you will NEVER need a capacitor.....anyone telling you that you need a capacitor is just predatory) He sold me the wrong speaker. I would never sell someone a 3 Ohm speaker when youre matching RMS watts for an amp spec'd out at 1 Ohm. DO NOT COME HERE FOR ANYTHING. Instead, I HIGHLY recommend you go to Guru Electronics. Sunny is an amazing person and very honest and he will usually sell for a tad under retail. Sean, if youre reading this, I hope your business fails. You even tried to short me $50 on my refund of the W7. You are morally and ethically bankrupt. read more

I reluctantly write this as Sean is an Ok dude. I have had to bring my car back to this shop at least 8 or 9 times for what can be described as amateur mistakes. More than half of the time I was up-sold to products I didn't need. I relied on his knowledge to guide me and I feel cheated. I finally took my car to another guy and he had this to say. "The second photo is what we discovered behind the stereo. The other shop butchered up your harness and cut all those wires.

I had a friend…read morewho recently purchased an Alpine ILx509 halo head unit, AudioControl D-5.1300D Series 5-channel amplifier, and a JL Audio 10TW3-D4 10" subwoofer in a JL Stealth Box for his 2023 Toyota Pro. He had previously sold his 4Runner for an F250 and had all of these brand-new and almost plug-and-play components. There were a few Maestro units that I had to use to utilize some of the stock controls. Additionally, one item was defective and brand new, and they were able to get it warrantied. They also had to reflash my Maestro RR because it was specified to a JBL audio system and had to be a non-JBL system. Previously, I had upgraded the stock speakers with Focal all around. I visited CA Car Sounds and informed them about my requirements. It took a few trips to determine if I needed any additional components that were not already installed. They provided me with a quote, which was reasonable given the complexity of the work. They mentioned that they would need the vehicle for 1-2 days, which was acceptable to me. I wanted the work to be completed without any rush. My specific needs were to have the amplifier bolted to a plate under the passenger seat and to avoid bolting the amplifier to the floorboard if possible. I also wanted to use the same SiriusXM stock antenna on my vehicle and retain my stock microphone as well as the steering wheel controls. I was somewhat apprehensive about how the setup would sound, but I was assured by Raymond, Austin, and others that I would not be disappointed with the Stealth box and the subwoofer. When I picked up my vehicle, Raymond accompanied me through the controls and demonstrated how it sounded. I was thoroughly satisfied. Everything looked and sounded excellent. They met my needs and addressed my concerns. The quality of work they put into customers' cars is exceptional. I would like to say thank you to Raymond, Austin and their installers

When I dropped the truck off and later picked it up, I was told after the fact that they had installed a completely different set of speakers because the Focal speakers I had purchased were back ordered by about a week. Instead of calling or texting to ask whether I wanted to wait or reschedule, the shop decided on its own to install a different brand and type of speaker without my consent. This is not acceptable. As a result, I had them remove everything and return the truck to stock. My weekend was spent shuttling the truck back and forth, the door panels were removed twice, and I am left exactly where I started weeks ago except with wasted time and frustration. What is hardest to understand is the decision making process. There was no phone call, text, or email before making a material change to the agreed upon work. Installing a different product without customer approval is baffling. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Everything sounds crystal clear and the bass hits perfectly. You can tell Mike and his team take a lot of pride in their work and treat your car like it is their own. What really stood out was that even a year and a half later, when something sounded a little off, Mike was there for me right away and made sure everything was taken care of. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. If you are looking for someone to upgrade your audio system, I highly recommend Mike and the team at Top Notch Tunes. Great customer service, great work, and great results.

On top of that they have an awesome line of products from the dash cam recorder to the remote starters and alarms I definitely recommend this business.

Great prices i can say, not sure about qaulity, not really professional, terrible customer service, Had one of the worker give me crap for stand by my car watching the installation... (i like to see that im a sure that there doing a good job) I had to wait 3 hrs, the 1st hour & 1/2 my car was just sitting there... Reason for 1 star review. I came here to get my alarm installed thinking its great because of the reviews. The manager seem alright but... I seen a couple cars come back with problems. My alarm was installed and working well but the tech didn't shut my hood properly secure as I left the shop and enter the freeway my hood flew open and smashed into my windshield, having that done so blocking my visual I was just lucky that I didn't get hurt or hurt any one in the process.. I called audiowerk right away, and told them what happen. They didn't respond to me as I thought they would. They state once I left the shop there not responsible... I told them but your guy didn't shut hood my properly. He states "my guy said it was shut and it was aligned with the body".. I asked him did you guys actually checked to see the hood was latch and secured. They respond it looks shut and one of the other work seen it shut... They don't wanna take responsibility for what happened, the worst part is that they didn't even apologize or ask if I was hurt or was any one else hurt. They just wanted to defend their shop and a sure that they are not hold countable for what happened. I would never recommend this shop to any of my friends. Also I know for a fact that a few people that work there are not licensed or even went to school for particular field. Also just found out my alarm still isn't acting properly, Door trigger on front passanger isnt hooked up correctly, Dome light doesnt go on when i trigger the alarm, My battery was dead the next morning... My car is still sitting in the shop for repairs.. Cost me $3,000 for repairs... Regret ever coming here. As soon as i get my car repair gonna take it a professional to get my alarm fixed... read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Let me start by saying I came here and decided to give this shop a try considering I live close to it. I needed an amp and sub setup. Not going to say how much I payed but I got ripped off. Let's just say I got home and looked up each individual item and they were way less than what I payed for. But that's not what I'm most upset about. I waited almost 3 hours for a sub and amplifier installation. At first I didn't mind because I was thinking they were professionals and were taking they're time to make everything neat and tidy. By the time they were done and I went out to check the job they had done I was very shocked to see the wires sloppy. Don't get me wrong the Asian owners of the shop were really cool and convincing but the installers are they're problem. Very janky, unprofessional, and rude. I went to peek at my car to see how they were doing, the old Hispanic guy rudely responded "do you Wana do it yourself" when I asked him a question. I was fed up at that point and went back in and told the manager to take everything out and I wanted my money back and that I did not like they're service and he replied "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". At that point I laughed and walked away with a lesson learned. Also watch out because they're known to give you the displays and sell it to you as brand new out the box. Ridiculous. So I went to Bryan at SOUND SYSTEM PLUS were he did a clean up for free. Moral of the story, don't go here. They are rude and unprofessional. The installers are super sloppy. read more

My Name is yang I went to this audiowerk place and met Sean he seemed like a nice person, I got in my 2008 Honda pilot front door speakers and a $600 kenwood double din. I was there on 5-18-14 not long ago only 2months ago. Well let's just put this short I payed for the kicker speakers he was going to install in my 2008 Honda pilot and also the double din. Once I paid he had told me he was going to give me a call. This guy was so close to me we got along so well. Story is short when my pilot was ready I drove it home it didn't sound as loud as the kicker speakers I had on it. So I decided to take the door panels apart and I was so pist it has used speakers they didn't install what I had payed for ?!! My kenwood double din has a couple of scratches it was used !! I cannot believe this guy is doing this to people's vehicles he is stealing used stuff and selling used stuff cannot believe this please all you custermors (DO NOT GO TO THIS PlACE). This guy was so close to me that he would tell me everything he would tell me he would go bang some chicks after work at massage places where the asian ladies are this is so nasty. He is married has 2kids and shouldn't be doing that stuff. Also I spoke to some dood there I believe it was his installer very nice honest guy he told me this guy has been doing allot of frauds and ripping people off for the past 10years !! Someone has to stop this guy!! He also called yelp to erase my last review but here I am helping custermors to not go there to get ripped off. read more

normally i shop for allmy electronic gadget online. it is usually cheaper online than the regular brick and mortar stores. anyway i made a printout of the price i can get online and went to audiowerk to see if i can get a clifford alarm and jvc cd player with bluetooth built-in install into my 2004 chevy tahoe for about the same price. audiowerk's price was a little higher and similar to best buys. but after adding the installation price on top of the price i was to get online the price at Audiowerk ended up being the same. so i go ahead and purchased the items from audiowerk. i was glad to find out that the warranty for both parts and labor are in-store and hassle-free versus if i would have purchased the products online i would have to get warranty for the product from the online store. good to know that. so far so good and i am happy everything worked out well. better than i thought actually because that the jvc unit sounds great and the alarm gives me peace of mind when i sleep at night knowing it is protected. read more

These guys have been here for a long time... Every time I have a problem problem with my car system I come see these guys. My system has gone out on me a couple of times (different cars) I bring it to them an they figure out what is wrong with it in just a couple of minutes. They do the job while you wait, there is a room in their shop with a television (waiting room) they let you watch what ever you want like if you were at home. I love the way they help they are fast and convenient. read more

We came here for our first time and to our mistake, brought our two vehicles. On one of them it was to get a new stereo installed and on the other car it was to have the antenna fixed. Well, had problems with both cars and had to come to get it fixed!!! There customer service is awful! And there work is even worse!!!! I've waisted so much time in having to bring in both of my cars back, I don't recomend this place at all!!! read more

Went there this afternoon to find out the problem with my audio system. All the employees were nice and found that the problem was a blown piece in the sub. He asked me if i would like to send it back for $20 postal charge + my warranty or pay only $60 for a 12'' woofer to be installed on spot. He threw in a 1000 watt amp for me and sent me out the door for $60. Quick service, nice people, and recommended audio equipment! read more
