Rear trunk after Audiotec-Fischer DAC install.  It installs in the factory location...nothing to see here.
Bear S.

I had Nick install a set of BavSound speakers in my BMW 640i Gran Turismo - the car was done as promised and on-time. I noticed that the center channel was distorted somewhat and after returning, his techs found the mid base driver in the center channel was defective. It wasn't their fault. But they didn't charge me additional labor to diagnose it and aren't going to, to replace it once it comes in. For all they knew, it would be a one and done. But they still treated me courteously. Nick and his guys are affable, knowledgeable and really do have a passion for the work they do. After some discussion and letting Nick see/hear the ... interesting calibration I had on my 2009 BMW 135i's current setup, I decided to have the car upgraded with some BMW-specific Morels including their Subwoofer and an Audiotec-Fischer DSP. Anxiously awaiting the end results. I'm pretty sure I'll be thrilled with the results, and I'm already looking at getting them to install a dash cam. A first impression means a lot. And Nick has been great to work with in achieving my specific goals and has been gracious with the BavSound issue. I see why he's so highly rated here. I'll follow up this review with some detailed impressions of the install and DSP setup. Highly recommend this shop though. Especially if you've got a German car. --- Post Car reception Initial Impressions: I got the car back from Nick as promised at 5:30 on a Saturday. AND he had his guys replace the faulty center channel speaker in the 640i! The sound quality in the 135i was night and day difference. I did a little bit of fiddling with the DSP tune to get it how I liked it with my reference songs, and also set the options up to prioritize the line out from my stereo in case I receive phone calls or decide to use the built-in navigation. Tapered off the low-end a bit since the subs aren't super efficient past about 35Hz and tapered off the high end since I don't need power going to 20KHz+ when my hearing's only good to about 15-16KHz. Nick got me about 95% of the way there, which is impressive, considering the wide breadth of musical tastes his clients must have. I can't recommend the AudioTec Fischer UP8DSP/Morel IR-BMW-42 and IP-BMW-SUB82 enough. It's a cliche' to say "These transformed my car audio" but while I always felt the Focals I previously had were lacking a bit of je ne se quois (midrange and bass), the new setup sounds full at all volumes. I'll be heading back to get a Dash Cam installed later. Don't let the neighborhood scare you or your high-end car off. Nick and his guys treated my car and me well, and additionally, the products they sold me were amazing, on-time, and installed on time - and for that, they deserve the coveted 5-star award that I rarely give out.

Ugly before factory stereo
Lyla A.

Nick was wonderful, professional and thorough. We have used his services twice now. First he put an auto start in my car about 2 years ago and I've had zero issues. This time we replaced my awful factory Subaru stereo with a beautiful new one with car play. It looks so nice and "factory." It doesn't look after market and the install is perfect. Their prices are beyond fair and we are truly happy with this place and recommend them without any hesitation.

See all

Here's a very authentic review for Tint World off Burnet. Mind you, I dealt directly with the owner…read moreNadeem. I had previously went to another store to see if the work I wanted done on my Tundra was possible. After finding out a few unrelated stores couldn't do the work I came across Tint World. I went through the same process of coming by with my truck and explaining what I wanted done to make sure it was possible. I met Nadeem and told him I wanted star lights and ambient lighting throughout. He looked at my truck and assured me it could be done and that it would take "two days." He quoted me $2200 and I agreed that was a fare price and I'd come back after the weekend to leave him the vehicle. I dropped my truck off on Monday morning. I reached out towards the end of the business day for an update and had no response. The following day Tuesday Nadeem told me it may take an extra day and that they were working through some issues. I told him that was fine and to just keep me informed. At the end of Tuesday Nadeem had messaged me and apologized that he didn't realize the material on the moon roof which is about 80% of the headliner space with these panoramic moon roofs wasn't possible to achieve the starlight feature. He said he added them on the perimeter. This was done before asking for approval after he knew what I wanted at the beginning. He told me to rush over that evening because the truck was now complete. I hurried over from Round Rock only to find a numerous amount of concerns. This was far from a "white glove experience." The headliner fabric had obvious tears that needed to be addressed, a number of stars not completely penetrated, the shooting star feature which he sold me on was non existent. He later admitted they installed it incorrectly for that to work. The lights were functional through Bluetooth but the music feature for the lights did not work. The ambient lighting wasn't symmetrical in the front of the vehicle and was cut short and uneven. It was also Bluetooth functioned. When the ambient lighting music feature was used it caused my music to cut in and out on the stereo. Nadeem explained after the fact that both the star light Bluetooth and ambient light Bluetooth would cause music cut out because it can't work simultaneously with musics Bluetooth. Wow. This would have been great to be updated on before installation. I cannot use these features I've now paid for simultaneously with my music. Multiple door pieces and the trim over the odometer were missing stock clips to keep them tight and connected. He had an employee who also works for Toyota "come up" with those pieces to later reattach my vehicle. I explained to Nadeem how this experience felt and he just blankly stared at me with little to no response. He accepted fault and offered me $100 dollars off. At checkout the price went from 2200 to 2500 because he forgot to mention taxes. I told him in the future when quoting a customer he should give them the "out of door" price because taxes on 2200 is game changing. He didn't have anything to say. As I was leaving he offered a window tint. I told him my windows were already tinted and he told me he could match the back windows with the front. I agreed. When I got home I noticed the ambient lighting on the doors doesn't automatically turn off with the car. They stay on in the front and turn off in the back. I called Nadeem and he told me the doors hold reserve power and that I would have to manually turn them off each time when I turn my car off. Nadeem had one of his employees call me to come back in after taking my car back to fix some of the issues. He wasn't there when I arrived to make sure things were fixed. My headliner lights and visor lights were no longer working after the new installation of ambient lights. My music still skipped and wouldn't play from the starlight app, and Nadeem wouldn't respond to my messages. His employee kept saying Nadeem is the only one. He clearly ran away from providing any type of customer care. I was shown text messages that nothing further would be fixed and that I'm no longer welcome for service. Nadeem cuts corners and doesn't take responsibility for his mistakes. I have the texts to prove it. I warn anybody who has any plans to service their vehicle here. At this point with the price I paid I was completely frustrated. He told me he would give me my money back but to never step foot in his store. I felt like this response was completely unnecessary. I don't need my money back I just want the things I paid for to work and meet expectation. I don't usually write reviews but I felt this was necessary. I made the mistake of adding after market features to my tundra with less than 1000 miles. Shame on me. However, as a business it's upsetting to know owners don't go above and beyond to make things right.

Everything looks factory-installed -- zero visible wiring, clean bezel fit, OEM stealth look. You would never guess this is aftermarket. They used a Maestro iDatalink harness to preserve all factory wiring so nothing was cut. 500+ Kenwood installs and it shows. The attention to detail on cable routing and trim reassembly is excellent. They also stand behind their work -- told me to come back anytime if anything needs adjustment or fixing. That kind of warranty and after-install support is rare in this industry. Knowing they've got my back long-term gives me full confidence in the install. My wife drove the car the next day and thought it came from the factory like that. Planning to keep this car to 300K miles and pass it down to my son. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a professional clean install in the Austin area.
