Interesting.
I saw a kit on EBay a few months back, I marked it to watch it with the intention of buying it if I could get it for under a few hundred bucks. I decided that I would E-mail my local dealer to kinda back check the pricing and also see if what the seller had was the right part # and all. Dealer replied within 24hrs, saying 1) Yes, that is the correct part # for your TC and 2) the price is $623.95, and we have it in stock. ????
Now then, i missed the end of the auction (which sold for around $175.00) and now am a little less upset that I hear the real price for the kit.
Wonder where my dealer came up with his price? I HAVE heard that the Remotes are around 1K to have installed by the dealer and also add value when trading. Guess I too will look into doing the job myself.
