I paid a guy to install my stereo in my Suburban, one of the few times I have paid to have something done.
LTZ Bose with Nav, backup camera, XM radio, on-star, in the wife's car. If she had a complaint I didn't want it to be with me
On place I called said to call one of their competitors because they didn't like messing with the Bose swaps.
The guy I chose estimated it would take him 4hrs and charged me $195. He does all the aftermarket installs for one of the local Chevrolet dealerships in the area and was really familiar with the Bose install. He said he usually keeps the labor cost high and doesn't mark up the materials so that the taxes aren't as high.
He saved me between $300 and $800 from what I was quoted at other places.
I shopped around and his prices were right around what I could get the items on Amazon and if I have an issue I have one guy to go to.
$200 and the wife is mostly happy
I'm starting to have some issues with the stereo in the TB. It is a stripped down LS CD player so it should be simple as long as I get the right harness. I plan to do that change myself and will likely add a backup camera.
