Default Am I being over charged?

Visited Car Toys yesterday and looked at a Pioneer AVH-X200Bs 6.2" for $329. The price on the head unit isn't unreasonable, but ancillary costs seem excessive. They said for the steering wheel controls, mounting hardware and labor, I'll be out the door for $950.

For those in the know, does this sound reasonable? It's going in a 2007 C6.

Thanks

Is the labor worth $400+ to you?

Same pieces & parts available HERE for significantly less if you can DIY the install.

As a DIY, it sounds completely unreasonable to me to pay that much. There is more in labor than the HU. But on the flipside, what do you want to gain by having that HU? It could be worth it to you.
