So I bought a brand new Pioneer AVIC-Z2 just a few weeks ago. I posted this before, but have another question. The unit I purchased came with the iPod adapter, the Bluetooth adapter, the backup camera, and the steering wheel remote control.

Now I went to The Stereo Shop, and asked how much for the install. They quoted me for:

Metra install kit....$45
Antenna harness...$15
Wiring harness...$25
Steering wheel control interface...$100

So...$185 for the parts...

Then, $245 for the install. The guys said the bulk of the install lies in the backup camera and hiding the wiring for the bluetooth/navigation antenna. He said the rear deck is a bitch to take apart, and said its about a 6 hour job with one guy, or 4 hours with two. Anyway, just seeing if this is a fair quote. I've put systems in my car before, but this seems a little over my head, so I wanna leave it to the professionals.

Thoughts on the quote?

 

as far as parts go it looks about right. sounds about right. it does take some time to do the wireing harness, then the backup camera.

 

sound reasonable to me

 

hmm it does sound about right.
but if he's charging you 25 for the wiring harness from the stock radio to the aftermarket radio, thats a lil too much. i can get em for 10 bucks here at california soundworks
