Just for installation? No way, that's insane. Maybe $150 if you bring it in and didn't purchase it from them.

what kind of car you have ?
Install radio is very simple and easy job. So there is harnes for toyota cars and premium harnes that works with some of our cars. I know with 400/300 sc you can use premium waring harness to get power ground memory power antenna remote turn on wires. Lexus uses steal brackets for radio so in order to install radio you will need to remove trim around the radio. Unscrew screws around radio remove then remowe screws holding radio. Use wiring diagram for your car to match correct wires. Solder all wires and then plugin harness screw in screws to brackets and put all back into dash screw more screws and put trim back and you are done. it took me less than an hour to install radio double din ui run rca cables and power wirest to amp in my trunk

pay for install? talk about saved. i saved over a $1000 doing my own install myself.
i searched,studied and asked alot of questions for almost 3months on CL.
installed Eclpise AVN 5496, 6.5" infinity ref components and coaxials in front and rear using custom made baffles. mounting board in rear deck for amp. total wiring of speakers , amp, speakers, unit etc.
was well worth it.
good luck

My shop did the install, wired the gps, installed 6 speakers and a sub, made custom trunk floor and drilled amp to it, and rewired the whole car for $750. So no way you are going to pay THAT much, unless you're insane :/
