I paid this installer $150 per hour to install my car audio system. While the system functions, I…read morewas disappointed with several aspects of the installation quality and attention to detail. The amplifiers were mounted inside the wheel well area, but when it came time to reinstall the trunk floor cover, it would not sit flat because the amplifiers were mounted too high. Instead of redesigning the installation so everything fit properly, the subwoofer enclosure had to be forced into the trunk, leaving a noticeable hump in the trunk floor. For a professional installation, I expected all factory panels and covers to fit correctly when the work was completed. I am also concerned about the amplifier placement because the amplifiers become very hot after driving on warm days. While I understand that amplifiers generate heat, mounting them in a confined area with limited airflow does not seem ideal for long-term reliability. Another concern is the grounding configuration. The capacitor was grounded directly to the battery, and both amplifiers were grounded through the capacitor rather than using a local chassis ground. While there may be technical reasons for this approach, it was never explained to me, and it differs from what many installers typically do in trunk-mounted systems. Better communication regarding the design choices would have been appreciated. Overall, the system works, but the fitment issues, equipment placement, and lack of attention to the finished appearance left me disappointed. For the price charged, I expected a cleaner installation, proper fitment of the factory trunk components, and a more professional final result.

I cancelled an appointment with them and drove 4 hours away to have IGLA installed and Compustar instead. I mainly wanted IGLA due to its features. Fast forward, I needed a rear dash camera (purchased off amazon; Neideso 360 dash camera set) installed into my camper shell and this company refused stating that "I had to go back to the people that installed my security system to have them install a rear dash camera". That is a lie. He was upset that I didn't use his company to install my after factory security system. This behavior shows a lack of emotional intelligence and poor customer service. People have after factory devices installed by different companies all the time. The front dash camera was installed by me inside my truck but due to having a camper shell I wanted the rear camera placed into the campershell.

I got Martin to install the same ZZ-2 module in my 2014 Porsche 911S while also adding rear and front cameras. The ZZ-2 is great since it is installed inside the existing PCM 3.1 and not an add on external device. The nice thing about the ZZ-2 solution is that the original PCM 3.1 functions continue to work in addition to having Carplay. Martin did a very clean install and I am very happy. When I put my car in reverse, the backup camera engages with guides based on steering. In addition there are visuals of my parking sensors which are really high quality. When I put the car in Drive, the front camera comes on for about 10 seconds showing me clearance in front of my car. Very nice since the bumpers are very low. All-in-all very happy and with Carplay I can now use my Porsche as a daily driver!
