Has anyone installed the 8 disk cd changer in their Element yet? How long did it take and is it easy to install? I am not very good in installing electronic and wiring stuff :roll:

Thanks fellow Element owners

I have been contemplating this installation myself. If you take a look at the instuctions for installation at HandA.com you'll notice that the electronics are not the difficult part to this project but that you have to remove a million plastic dash molding and seat parts to run the cable.

I agree MT,

The Cd Changer will cost me $408 plus $132 for installation. That's $540 buck-a-roooooooooooooos

MT,

Hondaacuraworld.com sells it for 406.80 plus 2.00 for handling but no shipping cost. I called my dealer last week and he told me it's going to cost me 132.00 for 2 hours of labor :wink:
