Guys I owned a 2011 c300 and I passed by Cartronics yesterday for a price check. I been reading the forums and I feel there are tons of info and is driving me crazy .

I thought Cartronics went belly-up after the owner died? Are they trying to recoup money or something....

I think this may be a different cartronics. I would say that is WAYYYY too much money for that. If you search the forum you will see that this is not a difficult install and paying a G for this is a true ripoff.

For less than $200 and about 2hours, you can do it yourself.
