Default LuxLink install - Need Help!

I thought I could do it and bought the LuxLink, but it's really, REALLY out of my comfort zone. Anyone around Pensacola, FL or Mobile, AL who could help me out? I'd pay, of course. Please help! *sigh*

A high end auto alarm installer could handle it. Steve at Luxury Motor Works is a prince too, real helpful. And patient too. I put him to the test!

It's so freakin' cold here, I'll talk Habious into flying coach and staying at Holiday Inn. So that's under $2K for a hassle free install. Seems like a bargain.

sounds like a great deal if you can pull it off.

Help is on the way, just say the word.

I'm from Northern Virginia. My brother still lives there. Maybe I'll visit you and him at the same time!

I used Best Buy. They did an outstanding job. I have used then for years. Most stores do not mind installing products not purchased from BB. I would look for the most experienced installer. The install took about 7 hours but they only charged me for 4.

That means: 4 x $80? $320?
