Default Accessory Installation Cost -- Rip Off?

I've asked the dealer about having 4 accessories installed in my car and here are the costs he quoted including installation:

IPOD adaptor - $475 (IPOD gets docked in armrest and can play IPOD through stereo)
Hands Free with Bluetooth - $582.49 (cellphone calls play through car speakers)
Side pocket nets - $74.60
Rear cargo net - $106.10

I know the IPOD price is wrong because the dealer's own website says that should be $375 installed so now I am wondering about the other prices, especially for the Bluetooth item.

Let me know if you have any price ranges that I can take back to the dealer.

thanks!

The prices sound about right for dealer installed items. Some cars it costs more to put in the iPod adapter than others...

I agree they seem like normal dealership prices to me as well. The dealership always rips you off no matter what it is.

I mean hell those prices could include labor. At least at the dealership we go to they charge $78 an hour.

P.S. their website not be updated and the $375 could have been a special price way back when sometime.
