A:Answer It was free installation...for the most part. You will still have 3 small charges ($16.99, $12.99, $16.99) for various install charges. Plus you would pay for the Sirius tuner for $69.99 if you go that route. To give you an idea, I'm buying this for my wife's 2012 Nissan Rogue and I paid $382 total. That's $199 for the receiver, $69.99 for the tuner and the balance for install kit, harness, adapter(s) and various other charges and taxes. Hope this helps.
