to get the i-pod connector fitted at local dealer. I know how much it would cost at Derek Woodmans, but i'm hoping the cost of 400 miles round trip of petrol and a days lost earnings will mean its cheaper overall to go local. But.....who knows, they couldn't give me a price in advance

, so there's only one way to find out...

remember its a clubman !

go on have a guess,....

Local discounted price up here is £420 IIRC

Absolutely stupid price......................I could have one fitted in a n Audi for half that price

simeds · Apr 11th, 2008, 11:58 AM

Woodmans would have been much cheaper than that, suspect thats the sort of price I might get charged down here

simeds · Apr 11th, 2008, 05:07 PM

not as bad as i feared, though I won't be able to pick it up untill tomorrow morning, as they shut at 6.!!

Only 374.50, they reckon it only took them an hour and a half !

Shocking really....

Especially when I learned last night that my 2002 Mercedes Benz has an iPod connector as standard hidden away in the glovebox!! Guess what i've bought today now!

Mine was 400 quid! it was the MINI Park Lane p-takers though. Worth every penny, I bumped some Mariah with T-Pain loudly today and caused lots of shaking heads from fellow drivers in the M25 jam, result!

try getting a price for the parts only at the trade counter and then ask service to quote on fitting only... bearing in mind they usually charge £100 +VAT an hour and the parts should be £195, you might get a deal
