that sounds about right, but it's still cheaper than having a shop do it, one guy wanted to charge me OVER $400 to do it, and they wouldn't put the controls on the wheel, they wanted to put another lever coming off the column!

I just finished going to the "stealer" this morning to get mine programmed. They charge for 1 hour even though it only takes about 20 min to do. It was right at $80. for the programming. I am enjoying the cruise control however...lol.

Yup, as with gwstang, I was also charged 1 hour of labor ($80) to activate the cruise. It should really only be 1/2 hour, but oh well.
