I bought the part from Gary (Newport) for the following:
65110403651 224.96
SHIPPING 9.00

That was months ago, not sure if that price is still valid.
I installed it myself and paid $100 for activation at dealership

It's super easy to install if you have the CD changer (instructionsare kicking around somewhere). Shuffle is possible, even with a 60 gigger.

Thanks all; seems like was correct fee. Question; do I lose ability to shuffle songs on my Ipod now?

If you have Nav you are limited to access to the first 1000 songs on your iPod. You will need to set up separate playlist with a 1000 songs or less to gain access to the remainder of the songs. The problem is even worse without Nav as you are limited to 500 songs. This is a big disappointed for me as there is no way to duplicate current shuffle play on the iPod, i.e., randomly play through all somgs on the iPod no matter how many.
