Comparable shop to SoundsGood on VanIsle? Ipod question

Just curious if any of you guys are aware of any comparable shops on the island?

I'm not looking for anything crazy, just speakers/head unit with Ipod connectivity & install.
Seems the few shops I've been to in Vic aren't quite comparable, price, quality of install, or personality wise. (granted I havent been to any of the local shops in close to a decade )

I'd like to support a local shop thats doing things right if I can. If I were going to the mainland anytime soon, I know where to go, but I'm not, so I dont!

Instead of doubling up on threads:
For the head unit I'm looking for something with a decent Ipod interface with the USB in the back, or one that you can stash the Ipod inside the head unit (thinking of just picking up a cheap ipod classic with a fried clickwheel to leave in the car).
Don't really care if it even has a CD player in it, any suggestions for a reasonable one? (if I can keep it under $200 that would be a bonus)
I was thinking alpine/pioneer/clarion type stuff or comparable brands (how do JVC/Kenwood/Sony stack up in this category)?

Thanks for any help!

Well, to tell yout the truth, there aren't many shops I can recommend on the island that I could trust 100%. All of the installers I knew over there have moved on to other things. I would say start in Victoria at Sound Solutions (I think!). Talk to their guys and get an idea of their install ability and attitudes. Its pretty much hit or miss. If you get too frustrated then we're always here for you brother.
