No offense, but I do NOT think youre confident w/ your installations. Hopefully I can give you some confident. Heres what I think:
1. you do NOT have a good knowledge about car, mechanical side.
2. you know only enough about electrical stuff to do a RS install. However, youre really good at doing stereo installations.
3. You always/mostly rely on tech-sheets.
4. You own both test-light and DMM but you prefer test-light.
5. you do NOT understand half of the functions and features thats on an RS unit.

Wow... that was definately out of the blue... but as for your concern...
1) I have a decent knowledge about cars. Do I know everything, no. But my dad is a mechanic, my roomate is a mechanic, and I do all of the mechanical work on my own vehicles. I dont know everything, but I do know more than the average person.
2) Again, I do not know everything about electrical equipment, but I have a good understanding about how electrical components work. Again, I dont know everything, but I do know more than the average installer.
3)I do NOT always rely on tech sheets. As we all know, tech sheets are not always correct, and and you sometimes have to go in with the DMM and find my own diagrams. In addition, I have done quite a few isntallations without the use of a techsheet by using my DMM alone at the switches to find the wires I needed.... including a few vehicles that required resistance to activate components (ie doorlocks, etc)
4)I do NOT own a test-light, and I use my DMM for EVERYTHING. Actually, I do have a test-light, but the light was replaced with a 1amp fuse to be used as a ground probe only.
5) I know most if not all of the features that the the average r/s has plus some of the higher end models. As well as how they work.
SO do I know everything, NO. But I am very confident in the quality of my installations. But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinions.
Edit: I am EXTREMELY anal about letting people touch my vehicles... and I would be the type of person I would trust.. if that makes any sense.
