Eclipse NAV Install help...

[beirish]

I bought an eclipse nav from another member and I am trying to decide whether to install it myself or have a pro do it. I have switched out my stereo a few times, but have never done anything aftermarket. Is this difficult to do? I have read about grounding the ebrake wire, and power to the antenna and such, and it seems more complicated than I thought... Is there one thread or write-up that's posted that goes step by step that anyones aware of? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

My local shop wants $250 to put it in and that seems kind of high... not sure though.

is that 250 with parts and labor?

are you getting any extras such as steering wheel controls, sat radio, ipod connections, bluetooth?

that is just labor, I have all the parts. and they are installing a parrot kit with the nav, but I have the metra harness, so again, the $250 is all labor, no parts. They essentially said around 3 hours.

at my shop it would be 160 for the eclipse

and appx 50-60 for the parrot (is it one of the ones with a screen and a module? something like the 3200ls? )

so they are A LITTLE pricey, but not by too much
