cheapest place to install CD Changer in Bay Area?

the quotes i got is as high as $320 in fremont and most places charge $187 in both san jose and belmont

thats a little high for 1.5 hour labor and I need to look at at least 1-2 week before they are free to install it

Where can i get it installed pretty cheap?

It's not that hard to do yourself, take you about an hour. Look for installation instructions on the forum. If I was up there I would help you with it.

Gab,
I have to agree with the mighty moose. What type of changer are you planning on installing and where? If your installing it in your glovebox, its really a piece of cake. Hopefully Mercedes left the wires in your glovebox for you. I had my dash off this weekend using the instructions on the forumn, and it took me about 40minutes to figure out how everything came off, and to take the radio out. I put everything back in, and then took it apart again, because I thought I had created an issue with traction control, and I literally did it within 10 minutes. I'm sure we can all walk you through the process.
Adam

If you prefer dealer installation, Smythe at San Jose charged me about $160. I heard a guy had his installed at MB of Oakland for about $125.
