Alot of places are saying this is a lot of work to be involved and probably a full day. Like around $500. A normal car like a honda accord would take 3-4 hours to install the z1. He said this is infiniti and want it done right like a benz or lexus. I want the PAC steering wheel thing installed also. He said that takes like 2 hours. Why is this so much money to install this dam thing? This is going to be around $2500 installed. I already have the z1. I know i want it done right. How much should this really be? They said soldering doesnt take a short time for that button and so on.

 

The guy is ripping you off. I had mine installed with the Bluetooth Wireless adapter as well as the IPOD connector for $240. It took them 3 hours to do the whole thing.

 

what is going on why do they say this takes so long and complicated? Taking off the bracket and putting the double din one on. Putting that bose bypass module in for the factory amp. Now this makes me leary of going back and setting up a date. I really dont want to pay $500 for labor.

 

that is a lot for a damn $$$ for a stereo install...he is rippin' u off. Labor rate can't be more then $50 an hour....$500 for the whole thing??? THat means he has to work on ur car for 10 hours straight?!? B.S. - Shop around homie

 

thats correct its $50 a hour, he said take the whole day prob close to 10 hours. why would it take so long lol. how complicated is this?

 

He's either never done this install or he's lying to you. Go somewhere else.

 

your right, but i want it done right. obviously he knows how to talk and jack up the price. Whats the max I should pay? Theres not alot of shops around here.

 

be firm on talkin' to him. He's obviously exploiting the fact that u don't know much about the install and also the fact that there aren't many install shops around the area. Ur already spending big on the Z1 itself...try contacting pioneer itself and asking them install time on ur car with these features...maybe they'll give u a quote on how long and then u can go back with that

 

If the shop knows the G it will not take them that long. $200-250 is a good price. Print out the DIY and give it to them and ask for a better quote or go to another shop.

 

damn $500 is friggin ridiculous...I had mine installed at one of my friend's shop for $200 which included the pac swix...

 

Ok i got a ?


What r all the parts u need besides the Z1 navi to have this b!tch installed????

 

You need:
The DD kit - Bezel, EVAP controls, and maybe the bracket (most don't need it).
A standard Nissan harness adaptor
A Nissan antenna adaptor

Other options are steering wheel interface, back up camera, changer, ipod interface, Sat radio interface, etc.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

 

where the hell do u buy that at

 

so what is the most should i be paying for labor install with the steering wheel interface and bypass harness for dvd in motion?

 

It sucks you have to add a bypass harness. On the eclipse and Alpine (older, not sure about new ones) units you just ground the parking brake wire.
