Anyone priced the phone cradle?

robertb · 05-10-2005, 05:35 PM

My BMW dealer wants $650 for the cell phone cradle accessory. The BMW website says the part is $130. $650 seems insane. Has anyone got a quote on this?

I guess not. Sorry.

Are you buying a car with it, or having it installed into the one you already have? Labor cost maybe? Still that seems high, try calling around.

tell them to literally fuck themselves in the face. that's like a 600% mark-up. Not to mention the cradle is absolutely worthless unless you use an iphone.

There was an iPhone in 2005? I didn't know!

This thread made my day! Answering a 6 year old thread, and giving a reason!

Granted this is 6 years ago... my dealership in Germany wanted 80 euros for my Blackberry Bold cradle, and installation was free... interesting how things change!
