Ruskin, Fl | to update you radio firmware? My iPhone 4 and my old iPhone 3G with 4.0.2 don't work on my new (to me) 08 VV. I like using the phone instead of going out a buying a iPod or downgrading old phone to version 3 again. The dealer wants $90. I understand the have overhead and need to make money, but that seems like a lot to do it. |

Ruskin, Fl | Maybe it is. That's why I'm asking. I have the extended warrenty too. I think a half hour of labor would be fair, about $40. I plan on checking with another dealer. Too bad the 2 closest to me went under.

San Antonio, TX | Michael,
The first time I had it done it took the wrench two hours to update the computer that they used to update the Vision. I am not saying what he should charge to do the work. I just felt glad that he downloaded the latest code for my upgrade.

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | I bought and installed my own XM unit. Wouldn't work with radio. They updated radio without charge. Had I not bought the XM unit there, Im sure they would have charged something to cover their time |

dinwiddie, va | They should definitely charge for labor time. But it only takes about 30 min to do a software update on radio. I would ask for a seat belt, cause they are trying to take you for a ride! |

New Bohemia, Va | I guess the real answer lays in all what needs to be done. Will it be a simple flash, or a radio replace? Is there a warranty? Sometimes forum questions are subjective, as we are not directly involved in the situation. I had questioned some charges once, but before I outright questioned the dealer, I called other dealers and explained the situation and asked if they charged for the same thing, and how much. The answer was yes, and it was more than what I was being charged, so I left it at that and realized the dealer wasn't taking me for a ride, but at the same time, the others were charging what they felt it was worth. $90, exactly what does that give you? |
