It sounds like one or both of the vendors might be willing to fly up to Seattle to do some installs for their back-up camera and multimedia interface kits.

As long we we cover the airfare and hotel, the installation should remain free.
I figure splitting the cost of airfare and hotel between several of us will be cheaper than having them installed individually by Car Toys or Benchmark. Plus, these two are much more familiar with the install and will undoubtedly take better care of our cars when working on them.
Is anyone up for it? I am told they can do about 3 installs a day and it would be best to have two days lined up. I'd be willing to use my garage for the installs if nobody else has one to offer. I can't imagine the cost of airfare and hotel would be more than $100 extra which is not bad for a 3 hour+ install.
So basically we're looking at around $600 total for the kit and backup camera installed.
