Default Question about XM install cost on an 05

I was just wondering what the going rate is for the dealer to install an XM satellite radio? I know the part alone is $200 dollars. But I was just curious on what the total would be installed if anyone has had it done? My dealer is telling me $700 with the xm tunner included! Just wanted to know if that sounded high or low?

The cheapest I've seen the stock XM tuner for is $299 at Lexus-Parts: http://www.lexus-parts.com/partdetai...bCategoryID=37.

Here are the instructions for installing it: http://rich.depthless.com/es33sate.pdf. Take a look and if you think it's something you can do then you can save yourself a few bucks on labor.

Thanks I also found these pics incase anyone else wants to attempt it. I think I am going to do it myself because their is a lot of stuff to take out and I know if I do it I will put everything back perfect. If I let the dealer do it I know they will prob scratch something or make a mess.
