I just bought a new double din dash kit, a kit to relocate my head unit into my trunk and a double din nav. How much should i have to pay to get all of this installed?

Well, to get someone who knows what they're doing, you will pay a lot.

What audio system do you have?

+1 A proper install will be a good day's work. What does a good local area specialty shop charge per hour in your location?

asjohnson721 · 10-05-2010, 07:06 PM

He charges about 70-100 bucks and hour.

VP Electricity · 10-05-2010, 07:09 PM

Who?

And, which audio system?

sole cal · 10-05-2010, 10:25 PM

You may want to reconsider your choice. For me, it looks way to aftermarket

I think these only look good in certain cars like the X-Terra where the unit fills the entire opening

or this GTO

Here is another BMW instal. I still think it looks tacky

And, one last time, tell us which audio system is in your car from the factory:

base stereo, HiFi, Top HiFi (Logic 7/HK depending on MY)

asjohnson721 · 10-08-2010, 09:05 AM

its a base stereo, sorry for the confusion.

asjohnson721 · 10-10-2010, 08:14 PM

Bump

kaigoss69 · 10-11-2010, 08:01 AM

Are you still asking how much you should spend? Instead, you should perhaps ask whether what you are planning on doing is a good idea or not...

asjohnson721 · 10-11-2010, 08:16 AM

no all i am asking is...how much should i pay for someone installing my Nav and relocating my headunit into my trunk.

We answered that a while back. Figure a day's labor at a competent shop. The $$ depends on labor rates in your area.

Denny347 · 10-11-2010, 08:27 AM

I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 dollars. Looks like a PITA. Bring a grand for those unexpected expenses.

That sounds about right... relocating the OEM HU should take at least 1 hour without MOST, add another hour if MOST and that's assuming that this installer has done this before and he has a pre-made harness and all the MOST parts available on site.

If not then double the labor.

And this is before doing the double DIN install.

getting everything done for 250.00

Let's hope you don't get what you pay for.
