OEM webcam supply and fit to Macan EV Turbo

[Hut49]

Just been quoted UK£ 1,319.24 inc 20% VAT by the dealer to supply and fit 2 Porsche cameras on the windscreen and rear window, prior to car delivery in March. The dash cams are listed at £401 on the Tequipement website - so that's over £900 fitting charge . Is that standard/reasonable?

Its far too much, when there is already pre-wiring for it.

As mentioned in another thread below, I got Blackvue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus cameras installed, front and back, and paid £110 to the fitter.

It’s exactly how much I’m paying in Sydney-Australia for the same thing.

I paid £995 for the same as you in December. It feels like a rip off! The picture quality is decent, but the functionality and faff of actually watching something back or changing any settings frustrates me!!

Rip off indeed - when you're paying close to £110k for the car and they want to gouge a 3 times Porsche buyer for fitting a couple of pre-wired web cams at PDI, I think they are risking their customer loyalty. The emailed response to my suggestion that they might like to re-consider their estimate for the work was: "(it's) a long job due to the plugs being berried with in the car to get to". The parts advisor offered to take it up with the "sales man" to see if they might help on the price. I'll update when I get some news ...

Yeah my dealer said the same thing to me. They said it takes them 8 hours on a Taycan pre-wired so that's what they quoted me as well. It's mind boggling that it would take 8 hours, it feels more like a "we don't want to do it because we have better things to do" kind of price.

I am hopeful for someone on this forum to post a video of cam installation instructions. Removing the trim seems to be the most difficult part.

I had excellent front & rear cameras fitted by a Lexus dealer with no pre-wiring and it cost £ 450 for them to supply & install. I mention this as Lexus dealers certainly know how to charge.
