Parts + labor. And...I'm fairly certain that I was low. He hasn't established that he is comfortable with DIY. Heck, I bet most of the members on this forum (me excepted) don't even change their own oil. Not everyone is a DIYer.

 

Maturola,Why do you say you cannot control and make calls from the PCM?I beg to differ?I have no problem with controls with my phone list and all through my NAV screen?
Plus Eric@BumperPlugs has the unit now for $569.I don't understand, please explain?

 

I was talking about the iSimple unit, not the Denison - $70 vs $600+

 

Sorry but that was extremely high for around this neck of the woods!
I asked the place that did my clear bra & window tint what they would charge for this install?$100 bucks.

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

That assumes you want a window tint guy in your dash - arguably doing his first install of that type. Risky.

 

There you go ASSUMING!LOL They're a high end car audio shop in the So.CA. area.
Like I stated before $1000 is way to high or they saw you coming!
If you haven't researched enough you will find that most car audio shops also do tinting and clear bra installments.

 

Just installed the Dension-gateway-500-and-Bluetooth-Adapter, Ive only played with it for 20min....But i have to say I like it a lot.....I kept calling and annoying my wife so i could play around with the settings and phone book...

 

I concede the point. If you can find a qualified shop that can install a unit, behind the dash, making all of the proper connections, fishing the wiring, for $100 - in a car where an oil change is $300 - go for it. The shops in my neck of the woods would charge more like $300-$400. That said, I did it myself.

 

FYI, I went to Car Toys, which was recommended from my 2nd Choice.....Closer Porsche Dealer.....It was 200. Saved me time and aggravation.

 

Does the Denison bluetooth unit come with a microphone? If so where are you guys placing them?

 

Yes and far left upper corner of windshield and visor!

 

I've seen it in there and on the Center rear view mirror.

(not in love with any of the two)

 

I have mine up at the top of the drivers side windshield and it picks up my voice perfectly!I don't even notice it to the left of my visor?There was no need to go over to the center!

 

I took a little longer to install my Dension as I wanted it inside the car and not beside the CD changer.
It's not difficult at all, connect it into the MOST network, +12v and earth.
I fitted the unit just in front of the gearshift and ran the Ipod and other cables to the storage box at the rear of the centre console.
The microphone is in the same position as the factory one, have had no issues with sound at all.
