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...

My Ride: '05 545i, silver gray, black leather with anthracite maple wood, sport package, premium sound, navigation, cold weather package, electric rear sunshade, folding rear seat, satellite radio prep, PIAA 4150K fogs, red rear reflectors, hardwired Valentine One
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.
