Hey,
I'm new to the car custom scene. I just got a DD kit for my 05 sedan and a Pioneer Avic F700bt. How much should it cost for a shop to install it? First quote I got was $550 (includes adapter for steering wheel controls, but that shouldn't be too much extra). I was hoping a lot less. Any help on a reasonable cost?

Thanks!

 

That sounds a little steep because it sounds like youre providing the DD plate youreself which was not cheap.

 

When i got my DD installed it was $150 just for installation. Al & Ed's charges $150 also. Thats EXTREMELY steep at $550. For that price it better include a hooker and a bottle of JD for the night. Sheesh luis!

 

dude I paid 125, I went to a local carshop and the guy hooked me up with steering contoles and iPod adapter for 35. I got the pioneer p3100dvd put in and kit was only like $50

 

I just paid $175.00 to have mine installed so yeah thats WAY to high. Hate to high jack this thread but since we are on the subject. Is there no way to keep the stock pop up navi in these cars when putting a DD in? I bought a Kenwood dd with no navi cause I already had the factory navi, but when they installed the Kenwood they said there was no way to keep the factory navi. I know I should post this in the audio section but seeing this thread got me curious.

 

$0.00

I did mine myself. In all honesty if you have some knowledge about installing head units and you do your research the install should go smoothly. I have an Eclipse AVN6620 (i'll have pics up in another thread soon with a bonus!) and it was installed in about 3 hours from start to finish. The hard part is getting the wires to fit and running the nav dongle. I also have the ipod addon and had to find a place to stash all of it. Get a 6 pack, crack on some music and make an afternoon out of it. You will appreciate it much more when you are finished.

 

$125-200 tops

 

i got the exact same set up as you did, OP. heres an image of it:



It cost me almost 300 Cdn.
