I was looking for something specific for my truck. A little different but specific. I spoke with 2 employees who assured me that what I was trying to do would work. They didn’t have all the parts, but if I got them, it would work. So I spent hundreds of dollars elsewhere to get everything. After getting all my items, I reached out to crutchfield for a simple question, this employee then told me there was no way to make it work. They recommended I contact idatalink to be sure. Idatalink confirmed, it was absolutely not possible. So I’m now stuck with hundreds of dollars worth of items I had to purchase on eBay that had “no returns” because it was the only place they were available. Crutchfield was helpful and accommodating in getting me an exchange for a different unit that they assured would work (not really what I wanted but I was ok with it) sent out in an exchange with a fair discount to compensate for the troubles. I paid an additional $100 to have the new unit overnighted so I could get it in during the time I had allotted myself off of work. I got the unit the next day. Was having trouble programming the modules so I called idatalink for assistance. And AGAIN I was told “no there is no way to make this work”. TWICE I was assured by crutchfield it would work, TWICE I spent extra money, and TWICE it wouldn’t work. So I called back to crutchfield again. They were at least accommodating in getting ANOTHER unit sent out in a exchange type deal. Where they sent it without me having to wait for my return money and buy it again weeks later. I appreciate the professionalism of the man I talked to. I admit I was not the happiest camper at the time, and he handled it very well. But it was beyond frustrating to be assured more than once that everything would work fine, spend $400 on extra parts from another distributor, spend another $100 for overnight shipping, and take two days off of work specifically to install my unit. Then in the end wind up with something that is completely different than what I was going for, waste my two days off work by not having anything to install, and spend hundreds of dollars on parts that are now null and void to what I am doing.
