The unit was $500 including shipping. Jaimy @ Rawlings Audio installed it for me. The main reason I did not do it myself was actual uncertainty whether or not the unit worked with a CDR24 non PCM and non nav system. Reading the message boards there was a bit of conflicting info whether it would or not. I also got no help from Dension's web site. So I wanted to take myself out of the equation. Jaimy was the only Tech guy I spoke to who said he done one and believed it would work. All the other guys either never had done one or had done one and it did not work. I actually considered returning the unit until someone else got it to go. I am glad I didn't. The sound quality is great.

The average quote for install was 2-3 hrs @ $85/hr. I would not hesitate to do a Dension install myself now. No harder than any other Ipod, stereo or GPS install I've done on my cars myself. I installed an EVO Swift Shifter the other day and I think that was more difficult than the Dension. Good luck!
