I have a Sony MD headunit with XM radio controls. I ordered the necessary components from crutchfield to have the service, but my installer (who actually originally installed the headunit) is sayin the install is 150. The stuff theyre installing didnt even cost that much. Does this seem high to anyone else?

 

Seems high. I installed one for $100 that was a complete delphi system with FM modulator and auto on module custom mounted in the nav hole. Professionals do like to charge alot more though.

 

best buy did it for free when i bought my xm radio kit i paid $220 for sky fi 2 and free install and im happy

 

About a 1hr job for someone with any experience. Time includes 2 beers and looking for a lost tool for about 10 minutes.

 

Def. too high...lurk around here and find all the posts about installing satellite radio. Easy to do yourself.

 

they would be installing the digital adapter and universal tuner box to my aftermarket sony HU. The shop is probably one of the most reputable shops in st louis and the work they did on my HU was really good. So maybe im just paying for quality and peace of mind. Oh btw DIY is outta the question. Even if i did have the knowledge, im one of those people who would rather pay a professional to do it right. thanks for the replies.
