I Pod Dealer install charge?
Thanks to member feedback I decided to order the I Pod interface from Circle BMW. Smooth process and I received the interface in 2 days. I strongly recommend them.
I called and set up an appointment for my install at the local dealer. They said it could take up to 6 hours. I believe someone posted the comment that the dealers are only charging the customer 2 hours labor for the install. Is this correct? Would someone please confirm this? I searched and was unable to find the thread with this information and now it very important to me $$$$ could be the difference in paying 2 hours or 6 hours! Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you ask them about the pricing before ordering the part elsewhere? It sounds like whatever savings you might get on the part will evaporate in the labor.

Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural? Support NORML |

I paid $259 + shipping.
http://www.circlebmw.com/parts/acc/65110403650.htm I did get a quote from the local dealer of $595. I plan to ask the dealer just want additional information in my back pocket in case the billable time was more than 2 plus hours.

Again, the dealer can charge whatever they want.

The link provided above is for a E90 (1.5 hours estimated install time). Anyone have a copy of the Original BMW Installation Instructions for the E92?
