If your wanting to just hw the V1 it is a very easy DIY. I just did mine and took me all of 20 minutes.

Thx to Kevin M

It was almost 5 yrs ago, but I think they charge $90 per car.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
I can probably do it; now I just need to find the time, lol. If my schedule frees up over the next couple of weeks I can do a few cars for a nominal charge. Send me a PM if interested but please don't wait for me if you find another source. I'm really slammed with work lately. Thanks...

I read the thread and love the way you did it. I'm having trouble finding the 2 black tabs to remove the top console. Advice?

Yeah I said 20min because I've now done 3 installs myself, so I know what to do. I think the first time it was more like 45min. Very straight forward, I have mine mounted on the passenger side as I use my sun visor a lot.

Bro- it's super easy!! I am not technically inclined and I finished the Benz in less than 1/2 hour and then I did the Turbo in 20 minutes!!! you have a couple of posts referenced already so I wont include but it's SUPER easy. Good luck and have fun.

I bit the bullet and just bought one. I should have it by Monday or so then will install it the following weekend. Once installed and I know the deal, I'll make the time and do a group install for a low price for whoever is interested.

If you want to meet up with me in The LA area near Wilshire and La Cienega anytime I can give you one, I made a bunch for the USC/UCLA football game. It a Trojan p***ing on UCLA. looks nice. Let me know if you're ever in the area.
