Greetings All:

I am having the xm tuner installed in my xb today. The dealer will not have my car ready, and the reason is that it takes "over eight hours" to install an xm tuner in my 2005 xB.

Is this "Bs" or what? anyone have the Scion "shop time" that is needed to install an xm tuner in the stock radio?

Thanks!

 

I watched a professional installer install my XM tuner, and it was not an 8 hour job. I would say no more that 2 hours if that.

sounds like they were "exaggerating"

 

The Scion installation instructions (distributed from Toyota) do not list the recommended time, but having had it done myself, over 2 hours is excessive.

 

Having had a dealer install mine, it took him about an hour and half. No more.

No eight hours. That's horse hockey.

 

I did mine by the book, took 4 hours screwing around.

What the dealer was trying to say is that they won't start on it for 7 hours and that they must charge you alot of money for the actual one hour install.

Thanks to all for your thoughts. I confronted the Service Manager, and he apologized for misleading me. He admitted that his technician had to leave on an emergency, and that was the reason for the hold up.

I explained that this was fine, however, have a little more respect for the intelligence of their customers, and that lying was unnecessary. Hey life happens, just tell the truth....
