InstallerNet

Our take on the InstallCard: CD Changer

Not into "do it yourself" car stereo installations? No problem. With a prepaid InstallCard, you can have your new CD changer installed by any professional who's a member of the InstallerNet Network — which boasts more than 1,500 members across the country. You'll get all the benefits of buying your changer from Crutchfield, plus the time savings and peace of mind that come with professional installation.

How does it work?
First, enter your zip code to see if there's an InstallerNet installer in your area. If you don't see an installer listed, you may wish to call InstallerNet at the number listed below the zip code field. New installers are added to the network frequently, so there may be options available for you that aren't yet listed online.

Then, just add this card to your online shopping cart, and proceed through checkout as usual. When you receive the card from us, visit www.installcard.com, enter the unique InstallCard number on the back of the card, and schedule your installation with the local shop.

Installation
When you arrive for your appointment at your local stereo shop, just hand over the InstallCard, along with the CD changer you've purchased and your Crutchfield invoice (it will be included in the box with your order), and your installation begins.

You can feel confident about the quality of work since every installer on the InstallerNet Network has at least two years' experience and is MECP (Mobile Electronics Certified Professional) certified. InstallerNet feels so strongly about the expertise of their installers that they will warranty the labor of your installation for the life of your vehicle.

What does this card cover?
With this InstallCard, the professional installer will install your new CD changer. Be sure to read the Details below to see what's covered. Please call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 if you have any questions.

Highlights:

  • prepaid installation of a CD changer at your choice of more than 1,500 professional stereo shops
  • find out if an installer is available in your area, click here to enter your zip code
  • installation does not cover modifications to your vehicle; if modifications are required, the installer will inform you of any additional charges before performing the work
  • InstallCard services are currently available in all 50 states and Puerto Rico; we cannot ship InstallCards outside these areas.
  • installation labor is warranted for the life of your vehicle
  • Important note: This installation does not cover modifications to your vehicle. If modifications are required to install your new changer, you may be charged extra at the time of installation. Your installer will inform you of any additional charges before performing the work, so you can approve the charges. Some possible extra charges (parts, labor, or both) include:
    • significant, additional labor is required due to a complex dash disassembly/reassembly process
    • you choose to have the CD changer in your console or another optional location (this card covers installation in the trunk or under a seat only)
    • you need an adapter to connect multiple components to your stereo
    • removal of the rear seat and/or other car parts is required to run the CD changer cables
  • Special Return Policy

Important Note: Install Cards are not eligible for refunds once they are activated. If equipment is determined to be defective during the process of the installation or immediately after while still at the install shop the installer will remove and reinstall the equipment at no charge. If equipment is determined to be defective after leaving the install shop or within a period of no longer than one year and within the manufacturer's warranty, Installer Net will cover 50% of the charge to remove and reinstall replacement equipment. If the customer chooses to remove non-defective equipment (swapping for a different brand, for example), Installer Net will charge for a completely new installation.

Features

Overview: With this InstallCard (42-1005) a professional Mobile Electronics installer will install an aftermarket CD Changer to your factory or aftermarket car stereo system. Basic Installation includes wiring CD Changer to the accessory power and mounting the unit in the trunk or under the seat. This InstallCard will accommodate basic installation on most vehicles. Some vehicles may require optional mounting brackets or additional labor due to the complexity of the existing radio removal.

Disclaimers: This InstallCard (42-1005) does not include the following installation costs.

  • Mounting the CD changer in the console or in another optional location may require additional labor charges.
  • Some vehicles require the removing of the rear seat and other non-standard ways to run the CD changer cables.
  • Antenna cable connectors are additional items and may be purchased from the installer if not purchased at the time of equipment sale.
  • European cars, such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc. and some exotic vehicles may require additional labor charges due to the complexity of their wiring

Defective Equipment: If the equipment installed is found to be defective, or becomes defective after installation, the following apply:

  • If the equipment is determined to be defective during the process of installation, or immediately after (before the customer leaves the facility), the installer will remove and reinstall the replacement equipment at no charge. If the customer leaves the installer's facility, and discovers the equipment is defective, the customer will be responsible for 50% of the charge to have it removed and a replacement item reinstalled.
  • If the equipment is determined to be defective within a period of no longer that one year, and within the manufacturer's warranty, Installer Net will cover 50% of the charge to remove and reinstall replacement equipment. If the customer chooses to remove non-defective equipment (exchanging for a different brand, for example), Installer Net will charge for a completely new installation.

Great idea

The installation card is a great idea! I called the number on the card to find an installer in my area and received a call back the following day. Was able to have the cd changed I purchased installed very quickly after receipt. There were a couple of minor issues with the installers themselves (broke some facing at the rear of my console and did a lousy job seating the display on the dashboard). But all in all I liked the idea of having the installation paid for and not having to shop around for price.

InstallCard experience

Wow. This could not have been any easier unless the installation shop had been closer. My only complaint was that the closest install shop was about 5 miles away. However, once I got there, they took care of me excellently with no hesitation or questions about the install card and I was out in under 30 minutes (I had a cd changer installed in the trunk). Just make sure you follow the instructions on how to use the card when you get it. I'd would do it again in an instant.
