![Question](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
My car is in for some warranty work right now and I asked my SA for a price to install the E60 iPod interface. Got a call last night and they want over $680, roughly $350 for the part and $330 for the install. Any one got anything I can use to go back and get a better price?
Thanks
Thanks

My dealer told me $299 for the kit, and thats before I asked for 10% off. He always gives me 10% off.
I just installed mine last night - it was so easy! I would not pay to have it installed. It literally took me 15 min. On my 2006 550, it was completely plug and play, no coding required, so I assume your 2007 would be the same.

I just installed mine yesterday and it was not a pleasant experience. At first CID just shown BMW logo and nothing happened, and I found out that iPod was connected during installation (I don't know if that's the case). I then disconnected neg battery cable and reconnect the kit w/o iPod connected. I-Drive booted up with lawyer screen in German
Oops then back to CID screen. Connected the iPod and it works like a charm. Dawn it!
I did not mount iPod adapter upside down using wire tie, but use leather double-side tape to mount it right side up. Looks fine.
