actually, as i mentioned above, these shops (aka best buy and circuit city) being specialized in rice hondas and soccer minivans, while operated by highschoolers who think they are engineers, while being paid $6.50-$11 (depending on the state) they look at the W140 and they ger introduced to new concepts, susch as wire color code consisting of green, red, and gray and they think
"this doenst make any sense??"
they look at the 7 channel amp and think
"what is that for? cars should have 4 channels"
they look at center speaker and think
"thats a nice bose antenna" or "nice microphone"
they measure the speaker resistance with an ohm meter and say:
"your speakers reading 1ohm, they must be blown"
then after a while they decide "you know what? this car is too complicated and doesnt match what we learned in the 8 hours bootcamp when i first srated at best buy, would you be interested in a DUAL brand head unit?"
thats why they dont work on them. other than that, running wires in the W140 is hands down the easiest car i have EVER worked on.
