i just bought a HU Pioneer 2150 UBG frm a car audio shop. The installation was good and works out fine. What really bugs me is, when I was thinking of buying the Ipod Cable recommended from the mechanic. So i could connect with the HU but i want to test out the sound quality between using the Ipod cable and using a USB pen drive to justify the purchase. but the mechanic wont let me to test it out. So is it normal practice for any car audio shop not letting customers to test it ?

Yes, i understand that.
But 1 more thing i want to point out is he did use his demo ipod cable on their demo HU unit which was 7150 to test it out with my ipod. but he wont let me test it with my 2150 after the installation. I dont know why is that since he can use it on their 7150.

Yeah exactly i didnt bought it. but to be fair i already bought the HU from him already, so why i cant just test the cable since he already have a sample.
Well in the end, dont want to make a fuss of it.

Hey Mechanic, since you are here often in lowyat forum giving comments. here's a comment to you, eventhough ur service is good at the beginning but at the end you ruined your reputation, and giving me a rude remark by saying "No, Cannot test" (In a Lan Ci way). If any of my friends asked me recommendation for setting up ICE i wont vote for you.

nop ur not the "mechanic'.since you have mentioned this 2150 cant use the HU to control the IPOD. Because he said can control with the IPOD cable, which he wont let me try after the installation, because i want to justify the purchase and the sound quality difference with USB pen drive and with my IPOD. As he said, it is the same functionality with 5150/7150 which he did showed me controlling my Ipod with their demo 7150 but not the sound quality since i prefer to test it out with my own speakers after the HU installation.

I am a aware that 2150 is the most basic HU, i considered 5150/7150 before but im using stock perodua speaker only.
If i chose 7150, is like giving me quad mufflers but only using a 1000cc engine. Overkill right?

It would be nice for him to say "Sorry, company policy wont let us to let you try" Than im satisfied with the answer. Just dont tell me off "NO, Cant try" ,eventhough he has a demo cable. I just dont understand how he do business. Too bad for him, initially i thought he was ok but in the end he "phailed"
