Did they quote you that price first, then you got all the wires for it? Or do they even know you already have all the wires ?

It does sound pricy, but you do have an Escalade, and Cadillac's a B**ch. I know cause I got one and everyone wanted about 100 $ bucks for it. Also depends if like you want satelite radio and they need to hook extra stuff up. But go to another shop and get several estimates. You will find that there will be a large variance in price. LoL, but go to someone that will WARRANTY thier work and you EQUIPMENT ! Reprocussions can be ALOT more than double what you spent if they f**ck something up. And you wont even know it till it way too late.

You will need a Scoche DCGM09 like I had to use to install my Avic. That piece right there alone can cost $120 retail. I bought mine for $60 on Ebay. Installing a radio is simple. The only major wires you will have to watch out for are:
Ground
Power
Illumination
System Remote (if you have a factory amp)

Save yourself some money and do it yourself.
