Looking for a Shop in SoCal for Radar Detector Hardwire and Laser Jammer Install

I'm living on the east coast but going to be visiting family in LA for a few days in July and was hoping to find a reputable shop with reasonable pricing to hardwire an Escort 9500ix and install the Blinder HP-905 jammer. The car in question is my dad's GTR. I had both shipped to his house recently just need to get them on the car. Thanks for the help guys

I know opinion of the GTR on m3post is pretty divided by to make reading this thread semi worth your time, here's a shot I snapped of the car with my cell phone a few months ago.

Beach audio in Huntington Beach has a very good reputation...schedule ahead as they book up fast.

You may want to consider integrating the escort display into the mirror while hard wiring...radar-mirror.com

Beach Audio is great, but pretty far from most of LA.

Even saying LA, is pretty broad. That could be from Long Beach up to the boarder of Ventura county and East to to 909.

I've used Automotive Entertainment in Pasadena before. They did excellent work, but that was 10 years ago. If Mike is still there, then you should be good to go.

Auto Talent in Carson, ask for Sam or Steve.

They are an authorized radar-mirror retailer and work on tons of GTR's.
