hey guys

in your professional, semi-pro or novice opinion... all of which are valued... what are some cars/suvs/trucks that you would recommend a newbie to attempt and to stay away from?

thanks for replying

any of the ION based GM vehicles are not for the timid installer & also any newer diesels are not a good start. The easiest vehicles that I have found are the 2002-2005 Honda Civic's and the 2002 - 2006 Chevrolet Silverado's

are you talking from an audio standpoint or RS/Security standpoint?

Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while; you could miss it.

Your first attempt should ONLY be a Grand Vitra!

Your last attempt should ONLY be a Corolla!

If you do your third install and have gotten that far prehaps you should consider a career change.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. what cars to attempt & to stay away from? -- posted image.

if you can do a harder one, all the others should be a piece of cake, why not start off with a tough one and take your time with it and learn all the alarm functions and bypasses.

There are 10 types of people in the world, ones that understand binary and ones that dont.
