has anyone had the ISx50 OEM kit for XM radio installed at their local dealer? how much was it? i was thinking of getting the kit on ebay and didnt feel like installing it myself...wanted to know what to expect from the dealer.

thanks

Do it yourself. Really.

I've yet to see a dealer charging less than 200-300 bucks for install (some double that)... and it'll take you like an hour to do yourself, all done in the trunk, all plug-n-play

seriously? for some reason i thought the dash had to be taken out, and that was the main reason i didn't want to do it. guess i'll search for a tutorial and do it myself! thanks, kurtz.

Yeah, dealers quoted me outrageous prices to do it. I just ordered it and will be installing it myself too.

I am going by this thread:

It looks crazy, but read the thread, you'll see most people did it themselves, including people that thought it looked too hard. I can't wait. My XM unit should be here Wednesday.

Yeah I just found that thread myself. I have XM in my other vehicle and love it - I think I'm going to have to pull the trigger.

I had Sirius which I loved, but since they merged I can get Stern on XM now, and keep it all through the shark fin.

Do it yourself. It is really easy. The XM unit is in the trunk and installs right next to the smart key unit. Takes around 1-2 hrs to do.
