I have an appointment for an AUX IN install on 2-27-06. Dealer quoted $349.00 parts and labor. I know this is high. They said they would work with me if I could provide example of other dealers doing it for cheaper. Please help with your AUX IN costs and dealer names. thx cg

My Ride: in 2005... a completly crashed Audi A4 3.0 Quattro.
... 24th Jan. 2006... a new 530xd Touring
I only paid $141.00.... (CHF 185.00)
But I only paid the material... the labor was supported by the dealer...
For the price of the new car, it was a MINIMUM... and I shouldn't have paid a penny at all! <_< (it would have been a 0.19% discount!!! )
Nevertheless, it works and I can plug my Ipod...
If it helps, I can send you a copy of the invoice.... but the dealer is based in Switzerland...

I paid $140 for labor (1 hour, per the aux input install instructions, attached), and $64.12 (after 10% BMWCCA discount) for the part. And this was at Peter Pan BMW in the land of high prices, San Francisco bay area.
