Anyone actually use the Crutch field pre made wiring harness

[Happy Hummer]

I'm on crutchfield's site and about to make my purchase but they offer a service where they do the wiring of the harness for you.
I'm wondering if you have any insight as to the quality of the end product??
I'm very picky and like a very neat clean install so I'm wondering if there quality is decent??
Have any of you used this service??:huh:it allows a aftermarket h/u to adapt to the H3's wiring harness.

If it's free do it. Otherwise do it yourself.

Thanks but lol that in no way answered any of my questions...
The service is not free and well.....

Is their wiring harness different than the GMOS-04 harness that is usually used to adapt headunits to the wiring harness?

Actually it turns out there are several options on metras site as well as offered by crutchfield's tech.
The list is to many and a bit confusing but suffice to say I went with me doing the harness, not them.
I read many of there own reviews at there site about there wiring harness service and though it does get glowing reviews even some of the 4&5 star comment about sloppy execution. About butt splices pulling out or sloppy wiring or missed connections. At $24.99 for the service I chose to save the cheddar lol!

As stated above I'm just a tad picky so....

I did on the T. Probably could save money and do it yourself but it just made everything super simple/easy/time saving.

You know what they say about wanting something done right..... I have the Gmos 04 in mine, alot of wires but not very difficult to figure out.

I actually just ordered the AVIC-W8400NEX from Crutchfield along with the pre-made harness. I definitely don't think it was necessary, since all it is is Crutchfield crimping the wires together and bundling them so that it's plug-n-play. If you wanted to save $25, or just like to do it yourself, it's not a big deal and pretty easy to do it yourself honestly. However, I thought the $25 was worth it to save some time and it looked like they did a good job with it personally.

It made the whole install process take about an hour to remove the factory radio and put the new one in with most of that hour being deciding where I wanted to put the mic and gps. I also didn't find that the rear brace from the factory radio got in the way, so no need to remove it like the instructions say.
