Headunit wiring loom for Pioneer after all cable joins have been soldering and heatshrink rather than joined by simple cheap electrical tape which comes apart over time. Loom has then been properly cable tied.

Good stuff VividJazz (our car audio expert) ;D ;D

Marty @ FHRX Studios who did the work is the expert. His attention to detail and pride in each and every job is all too rare. Though this means you may have to wait months for an install booking, the job will take time and won't be cheap (mind you some more expensive places won't do as good a job).

A lot of places might do the right thing for their show cars but cut corners on their customer cars. Been to a lot of places over the years, none comes even close to these guys.

what happen to the pictures

can I know how does the Heat Shrink Wrap looks like? any pic to show the product? from the pic, it looks like a rubber tube cover the wire and it doesn't seem to be like those "tape" style~

it looks like normal rubber tube. all you need to do is to use the soldering iron to go over it and it will shrink to fit to the size of the cable and the terminals.

No. you don't use a solding iron on the shrink wrap.
Use a heat gun or a hairdryer.
