Review quote:
“How To Install Automotive Mobile Electronic Systems does an excellent job of covering all the basic things a do-it-yourselfer should know about installing audio systems, amplifiers, speakers, auxiliary batteries, GPS units, BlueTooth connections for Ipods and cell phones. The book is richly illustrated with high quality color photos, and each one of these photos is certainly worth a thousand words. Installing aftermarket audio systems and other electronic gadgets is not the simple job it once was, so I would highly recommend reading this book to find out how a real professional does it.” – www.AA1Car.com
