Hi,
Has anyone else in the UK had the AUX/IPOD input fitted to their E60? I've just had one fitted and was shocked at the cost of ?298.43! I was expecting the cost of the lead, ?34, plus one hours labour.
If you've had one fitted can I ask how much you paid?
The cost was broken down into:
Fitment of IPOD Connector ?119.99
Steering angle adjustment ?10
Perform battery "power reset" ?20
Program/Encode control unit ?69.99
AUX connector (part) ?34.99
VAT ?44.45
Total ?298.43
Thanks!
