Car Deck Install - Ottawa/Kanata

Looking at the following deck from Future Shop after my radio on my 6 year old Elantra has gone the way of working *only* when hitting the dash *HARD*! I know it's probably a loose connection, but want to get a new deck anyways!

Here's the one I'm looking at:
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10098844&catid=1017 4&logon=&langid=EN#]Future Shop: Car & Marine Electronics: Car Audio CD Decks: Sony MP3 CD Car Deck (CDXGT420U)


3 questions:
1) What do you guys think about the deck? I don't want anything too flashy, but it's one of the few that I have seen with both an auxillary jack and usb.
2) How much typically does futureshop charge to install it? People have advised me to avoid FS like the plague. I did read about going to South Keys, but am not even close to that area (in the west end).
3) Any other suggestions of west end dealers? Or at the end of the day, should I go to FS?

Thanks guys - and great little enviornment you all have going here!!

If you are just getting a deck with no amps and all that jazz, you might want to consider doing it yourself.

I just installed a deck in my gf's Matrix and it was reallllly easy. With the wiring harness and the installation kit (which I would recommend both), it took me about an hour.
