Basically, before I spend $2500 I want every opinion and as much info as I can possibly gather. Peace out.
PS - how bout some prayers for the Porgy out there in the Atlantic some where with some of our cars!!!

Personally I would stay away from Car Tunes. I made the mistake of taking my Lexus there when I was up in ATL visiting my parents for christmas in 2009. And this was just to install a GPS tracker - not something as sophisticated as a 9500CI.
First - they weren't willing to let me watch - they have a closed shop.
Second, I told them I wanted to discuss the install and placement with the installer and they said they would, but then a few hours later they completed the work without coming to the wait area for my input before starting the work. And the placement they used would not have been my choice.
Third they got the install wrong the first time and I had to drive back because they buried the tracker in the dash and it had no signal.
Fourth - on the second attempt, they got it right but scratched the leather on the inside of the car - I think they were rough because they were annoyed with me (even though I had been proven right in my request for them to consult me on placement).
I would never go back there again. In their defense - they saw my review online and offered to fix the leather - but quite frankly - if you are offering damage recovery after I have made a public complaint, it is already game over as far as I am concerned - why should I take the car back and risk further damage while they replace the armrest.
Quite frankly the entire place comes across as a high volume store with employees who don't care.
