2008 GMC Sierra Gets Rigid Industries Light Bar Upgrade for Night Driving

A repeat client from Anchorage came back to visit us here at Perfectionist Auto Sound to talk about some lighting upgrades for his 2008 GMC Sierra. With the low visibility that comes with winters in Alaska, additional lighting is a must. Not to mention that this customer travels throughout the state where little light reaches the backroads.

For all of our aftermarket lighting needs, we push Rigid Industries, a brand we have come to love here at Perfectionist. We fitted the customer’s vehicle with a Rigid light bar, fog lights, low and high beams, and side shooting lights. The customer was so happy on picking up their vehicle and was excited to be able to use their new lights.

Winters in Alaska can be quite dangerous for driving, with low visibility among the many safety concerns. Let us help you be safe and feel safe in your vehicle with additional lighting to overcome these winter safety obstacles. We can outfit your vehicle with the perfect lighting solution, no matter what your needs may be! Stop by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security to talk to one of our knowledgeable staff, or contact us here.

A client from right here in Anchorage, AK, came to us for a 2008 Saturn Outlook remote car starter solution. We installed a Compustar system for this particular client that gives him 1,000 feet of range. We also added the DroneMobile. He now has the ability to start the truck remotely at his house, as well as many other locations, like restaurants or the movies.

The DroneMobile gives him unlimited range as long as he has WiFi or cell service. This allows him to get into a cool truck in the summer and a warm truck in the winter. This Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security remote starter client will be smiling every morning while his neighbors are scraping snow and ice off their windows.

Check out the remote start section of the website for a full education on all the great remote start packages and features we have available. Contact us here for more information – or better yet, just stop in!

A client from Anchorage came to Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security in search of new a 2008 Honda CRV backup camera and new Pioneer 4200-NEX. Our team spent time with the client, getting to know them better and how they used the 2008 CRV, and looking it over with them. Then we spent time on looking at products that we thought best suited their needs. We worked up a proposal for the client that they liked, so we set an appointment to do the work.

Our team installed a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX DVD player in the dash to replace the original unit. We used a camera that frames the entire license plate, placing it on the top center of the frame. After finishing the installation, we went over the operation of the products with the client, and they were pleased with how it worked.

If you would like to add a backup camera to your vehicle or upgrade the stereo system, we invite you to stop by Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security or contact us here.

Anchorage Client Adds Ford F-150 Radar and Laser System

04/28/2017 By John Schwartz

F-150 RadarA client from Anchorage, Alaska, had come to Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security to have a remote starter installed in his 2008 Roush Edition Ford F-150. When he came to pick up the truck, we started talking, and he mentioned he also had a Roush Mustang. He clearly likes quick vehicles. We had just returned from a K40 Electronics training session, so we mentioned some of the cool features of the RL360i system. After explaining how everything worked, the client was on board with the F-150 radar and laser plan, but he needed the work done quickly as he was selling his house and moving down south.

K40 System Installation

James Hunt, one of our elite installation technicians, started the project by removing the front bumper. He needed as much access as possible to mount the pair of K40 Defuser LTS g5 transponders in the gap between the bumper and the front grill trim. He ensured that the transponders were perfectly level and aimed directly forward for maximum range and reliability. He also mounted the radar receiver from the RL360i kit behind the plastic bumper cover. Plastic has no effect on radar waves. But it does on LIDAR diffusing.

At the rear of the vehicle, we used a K40 Defuser g5 license plate frame system. This cast frame mounts to the factory license plate mounting points and includes a g5 laser transponder. James mounted the rear radar receiver under the bumper. The trailer hitch protects the radar receiver from damage.

James mounted the warning LEDs on either side of the center console. He hid the warning buzzer under the dash. As always, all wiring is protected with Tesa cloth tape, and all electrical connections were soldered where applicable.

K40 Ticket-Free Guarantee

In the event of a ticket, K40 will reimburse the client, how’s that for service?

Since 1985, K40 Electronics has offered a program called the Ticket-Free Guarantee. K40 will reimburse the owner the cost of the speeding ticket if they own a K40 system. If the client were to get a ticket, all he has to do is send K40 a copy of the ticket, proof of payment and the receipt for the purchase of the system. K40 also offers amazing consumer support and qualification with their K40 Consult service.

Pioneer AppRadio Upgrade

The client wanted a radio that he could use with his iPhone. We installed a Pioneer SPH-DA120 AppRadio 4 in the truck using a dash kit, mounting harness and antenna adapter from Best Kits. We ran the USB cable into the glove box so the client could connect his iPhone to use Apple CarPlay.

F-150 Radar System A Hit With the Client

The client was thrilled with our work and ability to meet his tight deadline. We managed to complete three days of work in less than two. The client was thrilled we met and exceeded his goals!
