In 2010, Kameron founded CarAudioNow as an outlet to write about his opinions on automotive and marine stereo products. Using his first hand experience in the field while owning and operating SC Autosound in Orange County, California, he began assembling lists of products, how to's and more. He tested products in his garage and reviewed them them as he installed them in customer vehicles. The goal was to give people easy access to quality information about car audio and electronics and tech so that you don't have to spend hours researching something like a car speaker.
Between 2015 and 2018 he worked as a Digital Product Manger at Motor Trend, working directly with the key editorial members like Mike Floyd and Ed Loh to build meaningful web experiences tailored to the automotive enthusiast.
Today he's still assembling lists, testing products and writes articles along with the few members of CarAudioNow's experts that he trusts. Apart from being the founder of CarAudioNow, he's the primary editor and contributor as well.

I have a 2005 nissan maxima sl. My navigation system wasn’t hooked up when I bought the car and a different radio was hooked up in car than the factory radio. I took dash apart and hooked up the nav system. In process blue wire came unhooked from somewhere. Put wire back in area thought it went to a little blue box connected to stereo. Stereo works no problem. About a day or so later I started haveing issues with car not starting after driving to the store. Got jump to get home and when I tried to turn the car back on it was totally dead no power at all. Key fob wouldn’t even work to lock doors. Please help what did I do and how to fix it.
