I have decided on the Autopage 855LCD for my system. Can anyone recommend an online dealer? I need the system and a bypass kit for a 2006 Mustang without factory anti theft. I will pay a little more to get everything at one place if possible.
online dealer of Autopage? There is no such thing as an authorized one.
You get no warranty from Autopage unless it is purchased and installed by an authorized dealer. They do not have any authrized internet dealers.
WHY NOT SUPPORT A LOCAL DEALER?? it never fails that the low enders who insist on sniffing out the cheapest price they can find online, also end up being the same guys who harrass the heck out of the legitimate local shops after they realize they dont know how to install the unit or that they are having "product" problems....
i hate to vent, but i am getting so sick of this "how cheap? how cheap? how cheap?" mentality that pervades our industry.... i am not referring to you ualpow, as you never mentioned the word cheap once (thank you) it's just a symptom of the whole online purchase syndrome....
if you cant find a local dealer that sells exactly the product you want, make a weekend day trip out of driving to the city that does and buy it or get the work done there....

WalMart syndrome at its finest. Same reason why we cant find goods made in the Good Ol USA anymore. Sadly I await the day when the bubble bursts and our economy slides into the crapper due to the fact we cant support ourselves on a service based economy.
But I digress. I bought one (Autopage) online. Not so much as for the better deal but for the fact that I can install one myself and make sure its done right with certain parameters that I felt would suit me - not those of a salesman.
I agree about the people wanting to find the cheapest way to get by. Electronics has been my hobby since I was 16 (24 years). I have been working on aircraft mechanical/electrical systems for 17 years. I really enjoy doing this kind of thing myself. I know I will not get a warranty on something I install. I just want a good price on the autopage 855lcd from someone who won't take my money and run. I guess thats the chance you take when you try to get a good system and your not an authorized installer.
taking the money and run from an online dealer is all u will get. They provide no support, service, and/or warranty claims for product failure.
They have no choice but to take your money and never have to deal with you again.
