XC CD Changer Options V70-XC70 2002

A close friend in the NC area recently took delivery on a demo XC and is very happy. Negotiated tough with them to get a decent price. Now she wants the CD changer and things aren't so rosy, like perhaps the dealer is trying make back some $$ on the CD sale. She has asked me for advice, but I don't know much about these new generation rides, so I thought I'd ask you all.

The price they are asking is $900 installed. She's haggled them down to $800. They say the computerization won't allow her to get an aftermarket changer. I think I've heard this before. They also say they have to install it because they have to download something, I don't know what. Can anyone separate fact from fiction on this?

Is the car wired from the head unit to the back, making it a simple plug-n-play exercise? Or is there some legitimate reason for them to extract their pound of flesh? I believe one could get the changer from another dealer mail order (aka Beechmont) for a pretty good price, if the install by the owner is possible.

Regards,
Doug

    XC CD Changer Options V70-XC70 2002

    I have a 2001 S60 and had the 10 disk CD changer installed in the trunk. I got it installed as part of a package that included tint, etc. so I don't know what the price for the changer alone would be but they were throwing around prices like $1000 to $1200. I had it done and it included a new trunk liner on the side where the changer was installed and a new harness from the radio head unit to the trunk as well as programming the unit via VADIS. It is not prewired from the factory and is dealer installed. The unit works great!!

    Best of luck,Eddie W. in FL
