smile.gif bro... what you pay is what you get, would suggest you to go for "Reasonable price" instead.

You'll shiver thinking of what cheap installation work is like, and also the argument during the installation process.

Personally wouldn't recommend KF Audio, few years ago my brother went there for an A-Pillar custom mount for his tweeters. The A-pillar was returned with the carpet not stuck (like patches/crumpled) and could not be put back onto the car properly.When we asked the old guy there and the other worker, they just ignored us and said it's "like that".
Very disappointed with the service, even though we heard tons of good reviews regarding that place.

Definitely would recommend CV Audio in Uptown as they did a great job installing the Adire sub and tuning the gains in the car previously.

Nah, my brother and I didn't bother after that type of treatment and attitude, got it fixed at another place. Luckily for us it was only a mount customization.

Just went to ea autoworks a few days ago.. Installation wise not bad. Neat wirings.. But on the cost side is kinda high la.. Not so affordable.. The head unit on the high side.. Right after installation I manage to find out I could save RM100++ on the pioneer head unit itself.. But all are friendly installer la. anyway.. So far so good..

some things you may have missed out:
- im almost certain howie did not include additional service charges, so you can kinda assume that it is included in the HU cost
- if you're comparing to some of the LYN prices, do not that those may very well be parallel imports and most likely won't be covered by pioneer malaysia if you do have warranty claims/issues. granted, if your HU don't have problems, you actually do save a couple hundred bucks.

Nick, you are correct as we always sell pioneer, sony, kenwood and jvc at higher price. If you are aware, most ICE shop are selling way higher than what you see in the online store except some chain store that might sell at slightly higher than online store. And i can say most shop that sell local set are even more pricey than me. I believe quazacolt already mention about the parallel import problem and in case you need to know, that means the warranty card that i handle to you before you leave.

Parallel import are not having a local warranty which will cover for almost 99% of defects except human error and local warranty will be able to fix your unit within 2 days and in some case, on the spot if you go to the right service center and not major issues. Those parallel importer are just making the whole economic of malaysia going down for their little more profit. For a business like EA, we do not encourage this situation to happen as we realised this problem will make both party going to a lose-lose situation to deal with warranty problem in the past (we tried to source for it if customer request in the past, but not any more for now).

IF want to compare, compare from the same source and same services, the answer will be clearly shown. We won't easily ask you to top up and upgrade while your product is dead without finding the real culprit and make you as a genuine pig when something happened.

We practically don't offer the best price in town, but we do offer something that you won't have it outside our door.

Hope this clear your doubt.

headunit already having it's own pnp connector, adding additional blue / red connector are not necessary....

if for new car, oem female connector can be use...for car without warranty it's only consider as additional installation cost as it's not a must to use due to warranty no more.
