Newbie question re new radio install

[Dantheman72]

Hi, I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.  I'm not yet a Jazz owner, but co-owner of a Civic, so a cousin of sorts.

I'm on the verge of buying a 2008 Jazz, very happy with the condition and mileage etc, and managed to negotiate a bit with the dealer: she offered me to have a relatively basic new single-din radio installed with built in USB and Bluetooth (DAB would have been nice but Bluetooth is the deal clincher) as part of the asking price.  I then haggled a little harder and she has offered to knock £100 off the price, and give me the radio but I have to have it installed myself.

I'm pretty phobic of messing with car electrics and stuff as I'm quite late in life to driving.  Should I just take up the original offer of having it installed and just pay the extra £100?  Was also wondering if I could just slightly amend the haggle to have a DAB radio installed at the asking price...  I'm not sure how much people charge to install things like this, and if I get it done as part of the original deal it should be covered by the dealer warranty...

Cheers for any help, I have been looking through the forums but finding it all a little complex!

Welcome. Jazz radio is not a standard size unit and fitting a standard radio is not as straight forward as it would be on other cars. There are panel kits you can buy.

You have to use labels and such that need peeling off from original radio panel. Not a straightforward job.

The radio in my Jazz needs a minor repair, but removing it is such a hassle I am doing without it.

Thanks so much for the reply.  I guess if they're offering to fit something like that I'll take them up on their offer then, I certainly can't be bothered with it!  I'll ask them tomorrow, fingers crossed.
