of an origin B2 and LRC100 into a Maserati 3200 or any other car for that matter?

Or how many hours labour seeing as the labour rate differs from place to place.

Quotes so far have varied from 2-3hrs to 5-6hrs ???

I would imagine the cost to be similar to installing a handsfree car kit for a mobile phone.

Expect around £100.

Is it not more bother putting it in? Sensors behind the grill etc?

Just £100 sounds a bit cheap? Anyone had it done?

You are proberbly looking at about £150-200 install charge and about 3-4 hours to install , there is a bit more involved than fitting a car kit

Racing Green in Ash Vale did mine as part of the service, said it was pretty straight forward, part of the reason being they know their way around a Tuscan.

But a visit to them would be a wise use of your time, if you're not too far away....they're extremely helpful, and honest, and may be able to come up with something good for you.

Plus they have an incredible range of cars on show, worth a visit just for that.

Hope this helps,

Racing green are about 5 mins away - 2 mins if I don't get stuck at the traffic lights near the house!

I'll drop by tomorrow and see what they say.

Should I ask for / mention anyone in particular?

Ask for Martin Slade or Woody, in the workshop, it was Woody who did my install I think, and mention they did mine about 6 weeks ago (Steve's Reflex Green Tuscan).

Let me know how you get on....good luck.

Cheers, popped in after the rugby today. They reckoned about 2 hours at most for the install? Sound about right.

Lots and lots of very very nice motors about that place - its a museum really !

Had a chat to old boy there - he was even after a drive in the maserati - to compare it to the souped up Jags hes got - great place - great staff. Unlike anyother car showroom.

A couple of hours seems reasonable. Great showroom there isn't it!

Just had a B2 installed in an XK8 Conv for £60.

Don't know about the jammer!
