I know there's a place but forgot the name (and can't find on yahoo yellow page). Its called Houston Custom Stereo or something (off 59S and Fondren/Bellaire) does anyone have contact info and who i should talk to? Also, a friend told me (M coupe owner) said there's a wash/wax meet on Sunday (dunno where yet) so i figure couple of us can meet up as well. Anyone interested?

Okay so no one has replied to my post heheh thats okay. I finally called Customer Car Stereo (one of Houston's premier audio shop) and they stated $100 for install of Audio 10 CD install. Now I know you guys are thinking I could do this under an hour but considering these guys are pretty much the best in town and I want the cleanest job possible I figure its worth the hassle (and any consequences will be on them). They work on alot of custom work, Ferraris, Rolls, etc. Just in case if anyone in Houston is interested.

Session I know you have great instructions and On my Cougar I did the headunit and cd-changer, speakers myself. But I've had bad experience w/ DIYs and crappy shop installs on my Audi so on the coupe i'm not taking chances (yeah u can say i've been burned). And this shop is considered pretty much the best in town (where Ferrari's, Rolls, Bentley's, etc get their work done). Its overkill and kinda expensive (I wish I had the Climatronic as well so I can install it at same time) but i might as well.
