My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I paid about $240 for the kit and $370 for the installation and programming from the dealer. The kit was discounted through Garry Romani but if you buy it at full price and have the dealer do the install, it'll run around $700. If you do the installation yourself then yeah, it wouldn't be that high.

was an easy install and my dealer charged me 50 for the software update.

Are you talking about the aux input or the full integration kit? Your signature says you have Aux input and the integration kit is completely different.

this is the BMW iPod integration kit. The aux input came Std with the car and I have never actually used the aux input for anything. You can't operate the iPod menu with the idrive with the aux that's why I bought the iPod integration unit that installs in the glove compartment.

Thanks, Tony! I think I would go for the full integration. Which iPod integration kit do I need? There's one with the harness and one without it. Did SC BMW also re-program your iDrive? BTW, I have a CD changer in the glove box. Is that a problem? Sorry! Too many questions!
