$900 for Sirius in pre wired E90!!!!

greenham · 04-04-2006, 01:27 PM

I can't believe that the dealer who has the radio in stock $528 wants another $450 to install it. I thought when I bought my 06 E90 w/ the pre-wire satellite that this would be a fairly simple install. Even at $100/hr does it really take 4 1/2 hrs to install this radio!!!!!

$900 for a radio is to much for me.

There is room for negotiation...its at least $100 over where it should be. Good luck.

That means they are charging $450 an hr labor. The install should take 1 hr(it says so on the official instruction sheet). You should print off the instruction sheet from here... http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1915

and show it to the dealer, when he tells you the cost.
