Title: Just got myself the Fiscon Kit
Post by: VWKev on 06 March 2010, 15:21
With the car going into the dealers on Monday anyway, I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and ask them to install it too. (Thanks Hutch924) nice chap too.

Much do you think they will charge for it ?

Kev:
Is that a rhetorical question? :wink:
It will cost me a total of £395 for supply and fitting when I have it retro-fitted.
You?

I would expect them to charge about £100 all in... can be done much cheaper elsewhere.

am1w, that seems a bit steep mate, there should be another free fit day coming up shortly, i'm thinkin about going myself, Fiscon do supply and fit on the day for £300 (i think)

Kev, unless your a bit like me and don't fancy doin it yourself then couldn't you just get them to code it for you and fit it yourself? shouldn't charge much at all then.

Jimble:
Thanks.
Do they come to London?
Will keep a look out.
Alternatively, I'll try and get it done at this price by my guy! He seems quite flexible.

I'm pretty sure the last one was at the motor museum in Warwick, but they are based in Milton Keynes so if you fancied a trip over there i would imagine they could sort something out? You never know. :smiley:

I just don't have the time or the patience to travel to have this done.
My guy will do the installation for me in London on a Saturday of my choosing.
But thanks anyway! :smiley:

Just out of interest, when you go into the phone menu on the mfd, does it always say "kufatec fiscon" at the top or does it just say "phone"? not that it matters but just curious? thanks

No probs, so if you just use the stereo display, nothing happens on the mfd?

I dont think so.. not unless your MFD is on the phone screen (as opposed to the mpg, range, stereo, sat nav screens etc)

As ever you are right! :smiley:
But I tried to be as focused as possible, unlike the rest of them. :wink:
I will be paying £395 for supply and installation in London on a Saturday of my choosing.
OEM Retrofits will be doing the installation.

Kev:
Now to answer your question at last! :smiley:
The labour charge? = £100 + VAT
Supply and fit? = £395 inc VAT
You naughty quizzer! :laugh:

Kev don't get them to fit it just ask them to enable the gateway 77.
It is childs play trust me.
If you can plug a scart lead from a DVD unit to the back of the TV then you can install a Fiscon!!!! And I'm not joking.

I suggested that too earlier in the thread, but the only reply we've had so far was to moan about his hi-jacked thread! :rolleyes: :evil:
