Experienced Porsche Nav/Radio Headunit installer in Chicago?

Hello, can anyone recommend an installer in Chicago area who has done Porsches? I need someone who is familiar with 911 models, difference in MOST apms for early 2002 models, etc.

I have been recommended Showtime Audio and looking to get more recommendations/quotes before I commit to wiring it up.

Thanks.

ABT Electronics in Glenview. They only hire installers that have certifications and experience. Their after support is great. Also, you know they will be around for the years to come and won't have to worry about fly by night or businesses shutting down in the near future.

I've bought mostly home electronics from them but my GF at the time had her radio and alarm installed by them in her crappy Altima and when she had a problem a couple years later, they still treated her and the car like royalty when it was brought in.

They are independent and family owned and mainly go by word of mouth so their service is usually outstanding.

I would recommend Mobile Concepts, they did my system and they are the only shop in the area that I have seen touch Ferrari and Lambos, there was a nice 360 Spider in the shop when I was getting a quote for my system. They are reasonably priced, and years of experience. Just my opinion if your near on the south side.

ABT is always a good bet even though they can be $$$ but you pay for what you get.
