However, the first Best Buy I went to had incompetent installers. I should have looked at the install reviews for this particular location or better yet I should have called around and asked questions. They had no clue what they were doing and did a sloppy, incomplete job. Failed to hookup the parking lights and said it wasn't possible to pair the upgraded LCD remote I brought with my antenna. I went to my car, pulled up a YouTube video, and the remote paired up in less than 2 minutes. I had to schedule another appointment at a Best Buy in a different city half an hour away and the guy basically had to do it over. I was told they had a new hire from that same location come work over at this one because they didn't know what they were doing at the original location.
So be careful of that. I've heard it's pretty common. Luckily the tech at the second location was awesome. He had a lot of experience and was capable of wiring auxiliary functions. The first location was barely able to install a simple plug and play system. And really they didn't because it was incomplete. Sloppy zip tied wires, it was shit.
Auxiliary functions will cost you extra. Say you want the defrost to come on when it's below 32 degrees and you remote start the car, sometimes that's a plug and play function, other times they have to manually wire this to your dc3 brain. It depends. Do your research.
If installed correctly, it's reliable and shouldn't ever give you problems for years to come.
