So all you have to do is plug in the Dension 500 to the CD Changer Cable and go to the dealer to get the MP3 function installed and your done?

How much does the dealer charge to install the MP3 function?

WHAAATTT!!! I only paid $80 USD for coding my car after installation.

One thing you gotta keep in mind tho, since Dension is not OEM, some dealership would not code your car, you would have to install the OEM integration kit first.

I paid $150. Your car build date as mine, so wont have have the mp3 function on your M-ASK radio, even if you code the car. What you need to do is install the dension and take it to the stealership and ask them for the ipod retrofit coding. Theres a group buy going on on the dension, i would jump on it if i were you

Yea my dealer will probably try to rip me off too. They kinda hate me there since I got $12,000 worth in repairs for free from them...

But that is how it works right just get the MP3 function installed and then it works?
