Default Stereo Install in GTA

I'm thinking of upgrading my head unit in a c4s. I'd like to use a really great reputable shop that is not going to ruin my car. Preferably in Vaughan or Mississauga. Any recommendations?

My head unit was installed at a future shop and they were excellent in terms of service and quality. I brought the head unit and kit to them. I spoke with the installer a few days prior to confirm he knew what he was doing which I asked specific questions about my car which he knew. He was very meticulous with his work and I'm sure I paid much less in terms of install cost compared to independent stereo stores....

Future Shop on Hwy 7 and Warden.
Can't remember the installer but I believe he is the main person anyway....

I've used Audio Heaven in the past but Jeff doesn't like doing anything custom. I guess I should have mentioned I need a place that's big into custom work and really know how systems should sound and not just how to install components. I've never been able to find a real place to take my car.

Not sure about knowing "how systems should sound", but Pfaff uses Julian @ Nutech Electronics for all audio/nav needs. I have used him to hard wire my Garmin (power and audio) into the 997.2 and one other integration that I can not mention here This guy knows Porsche electronics very well. He is sure not to mess your Porsche up. He can be reached at 416-518-7998 (havent used this # in a while, hopefully it still works)

Jullian is good (customer of mine). Number is still good

Also could give Allan a call at KHF (he's a Porsche guy) 905-475-9000

KHF for sure. Wc11 referred me. Allan took great care of me and upgrading all my speakers. I am running a Becker Grand Prix 7990 I bought from SW Stereo in NJ FYI...

Is that deck from UK? Does it tune to AM/FM properly?

Guys looking to possibly do a car starter and tint (not on a Porsche, just my dd). Is Allan at KHF good for this?

If so, what does KHF stand for and does he have an email address?

Thanks.

KHF used to be Kennedy Hi Fi but they split into two different companies.
Kennedy Hi Fi on Hwy 7 Unionville now is only home audio
KHF is all automotive and yes they do starters but don't know about window tint.
