What is the year, make and model of the most difficult car you've ever worked on?
The one that kinda stands out is a remote start/alarm on 2006-and-newer Acura RL, mainly because the wires are so difficult to get to and the dash does not come off.

What is your favorite tool to use in the installation bay and why?
Air Compressor. It makes fabrication and just about every install easier, whether you are taking bolts out, cutting metal, nailing, stapling, etc. I use it everyday.
What's the best advice you have ever gotten in your installation career?
Take the time to get it done right the first time, and make it look as good on the inside as the outside.
Who inspires you to further your skills and your career in mobile electronics installation?
Other installers who have the same passion as I do.
