Our take on the InstallCard: Bluetooth Stereo

by Ken Nail

Not into "do it yourself" car stereo installations? No problem. With a prepaid InstallCard, you can have your new in-dash stereo installed by any professional who's a member of the InstallCard network — there are more than 1,500 locations all across the country. You'll get all the benefits of buying your receiver from Crutchfield (including FREE installation accessories with most orders), plus the time savings and peace of mind that come with professional installation.

How does it work?
Simple. First, enter your zip code to see if there's an InstallCard 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 in-dash stereo you've purchased and your Crutchfield invoice (it will be included in the box with your order), and your installation begins. And you can feel confident about the quality of work — 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 remove your existing in-dash stereo and install your new Bluetooth receiver (or receiver with Bluetooth adapter). The installer will mount the external microphone (if one is included with your receiver), and will pair up the receiver with your Bluetooth phone. 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.

  • prepaid installation of an in-dash Bluetooth receiver (including mounting an external microphone) at your choice of more than 1,500 professional stereo shops
  • to find out if an installer is available in your area, click here to enter your zip code
  • 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, you may be charged extra for parts and labor 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) may result if:
    • your in-dash stereo includes a satellite antenna that must be mounted on the exterior of your vehicle;
    • your vehicle features OnStar (or a similar factory security system), the audio portion of which is broadcast through the factory radio, and the installation of a new in-dash stereo requires replacement of the security-system modules;
    • the factory wiring or dashboard have been cut or damaged as the result of a previous non-professional installation, or theft;
    • your premium factory system (Bose, Infinity, Monsoon, etc.) requires bypassing with an extra wiring harness;
    • no installation kit is available for your vehicle, and the installer is required to fabricate a custom-mounting bracket;
    • your vehicle has factory steering-wheel controls, and you'd like your new in-dash stereo to work with them;
    • your vehicle requires optional mounting brackets or significant, additional labor due to a complex dash disassembly/reassembly process.

    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: This InstallCard (42-1020) covers the basic installation labor for a professional Mobile Electronics installer to install an aftermarket car stereo with Bluetooth in-dash. The new stereo will be wired with a vehicle-specific radio harness and antenna cable, and mounted with a vehicle-specific dash kit. For Bluetooth, the external microphone will be mounted, cable routed, and your Bluetooth enabled phone paired. The basic installation labor will not cover additional wiring to bypass a factory amplifier, steering wheel control or Onstar type module. This InstallCard does not cover the parts needed for a professional installation; only the labor.

    Disclaimers: This InstallCard (42-1000) does not include the following installation costs:

    • If the in-dash stereo has a satellite antenna that has to be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle.
    • Onstar and some other factory security system play through the factory radio and the installation of an aftermarket stereo may require replacement modules.
    • If the factory wires or dashboard has been cut or damaged due to a previous not professional installation or theft.
    • Some vehicle will require additional amplifier bypass harness to rewiring a factory amplifier along with additional labor, for example vehicles that have factory Bose, Infinity or other premium sound system.
    • If there is no installation kit available for your dash and the installer may have to fabricate a custom-mounting bracket.
    • To make any factory steering wheel controls work with an aftermarket radio will require additional parts and labor.
    • Some vehicles may require optional mounting brackets or additional labor due to the complexity of the existing radio removal. For example some cars require the disassemble of a large portion of the dashboard just to remove the radio.
    • European cars, such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc. and some exotic vehicles may need additional labor 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 applies:

    • 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.

    The program is a good, only draw back for me was not having a choice of franchises to choose from. That being said the company used did an excellent job and were able to fit me into their schedule the same day I stopped by to schedule an appointment. Will use this product again!
    Cons:
    Limited number of franchisee's available or recommended to me by Crutchfield. Thanks for the service folks...

    InstallCard: Bluetooth Stereo

    Written By NickG, Dallas, TX on Tuesday, July 03, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Install went well. Installer came to my house and finished the job in about an hour. Had him install a steering wheel control unit (additional $60). I would have like to have had a list of names and phone numbers of the Installers in my area to see what they charged for the additional service. Everything works, so that makes me happy.
    Pros:
    Fast, professional service, and I didn't have to monkey with it myself.
    Cons:
    A little costly. The money could have gone to upgrading my speakers.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    The first installer I called ceased to exist. Phone number would not accept calls and web site disappeared. Install.net put me through to another installer who refused to accept the card as Install.net was in arrears. The third installer came to my home. He charged an additional $75 to install the steering wheel controller. It took 5-10 minutes so the price seemed excessive. As soon as he was done he took off without any instruction or guidance. The unit does not sit completely flush with the dash. One corner juts out a little. My wife thinks it's not all that bad but it irks me. I spent a total of $175 for a professional install and it looks like I installed it.
    Pros:
    Well the unit does work.
    Cons:
    Third rate service. No bargain. Should have brought it to a real pro or just done it myself, though I probably would still be working on it. I would never use them again.

    Easy process

    Written By RickprocessR, Boston,MA on Saturday, April 14, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Very easy process. There were choices of places to go and I had no trouble chrduling the appointment. There were two problems with the installation, so I had to go back. I would have preferred not to do so,but everyone makes mistaKes. The biggest issue was that the stereo installation instructions were wrong and because th installer didn't have experience with this brand they didn't know. A call to crutchfield resolved the intubation since it was a "known problem".
    Pros:
    Ease and convenience
    Cons:
    Installer didn't have weekend hours.

    The installer did great, Installernet was not so great

    Written By Brian T., Everett, wa on Thursday, March 22, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I went to the installernet web site and filled out a bunch of information to schedule an appointment. I specifically put on there I wasnted to have it done on a Saturday. Seems to me if I take the time put in this info. they should find an installer to do i ton the weekend. A few days later I received an e-mail stating that they found an installer and to call make an appointment with them. I called the installer and they dont do installs on the weekends. This made it tough for me. I also dont like the fact that I have to call the installer to make the appointment. It should have been InstallerNet's job. Also InstallerNet didnt give the installer much info accept, my name, #, and when I would like to do the install. Seems to be they should have told them the make and modle of the stereo?
    Pros:
    The Installer was great. Cheaper than not getting the card.
    Cons:
    Not great communication.

    I purchased this card after waiting way too long for my husband to install my new stereo & it was worth the cost. The stereo was working in very little time & I was not charged any extra costs since I had everything needed for the installation already. My stereo was setup to work with my steering wheel controls & the bluetooth mike was installed so there are no exposed wires - you hardly notice it's there. I am very satisfied and would use InstallCard again.

    This was a really good deal and worked out great. The person was very knowledgeable
    and helped us get the radio set up with the phones. The only draw back I had was the
    distance I had to go to get the service. Other than that the service was outstanding,
    professional and done very quickly while we waited.
