Installing Ipod Hookup in Cl-S Geek Squad Cheap?

http://www.geeksquad.com/services/detail.aspx?id=1279

Is this what I think it is? They will run cabling from the back of my OEM radio and the wire will come out in my glove box and it'll be a clean setup where I can just plug my ipod in and play it on the factory radio? For $50? Something must not be right here.

Doubt it includes the ipod adapter, or mount. Do it yourself in 30 minutes. Not hard.

I did this recently at Best Buy, not with the Geek Squad but with the Best Buy car bay. I had my own iPod adapter and they just ran the cables for $50. You want to make sure that the jumper switches on the iPod adapter are set correctly so that you will have control over the pod. Also, it is highly recommended that you have them put the device somewhere accessible so you can switch it later if you have to.

Also, Best Buy techs aren't the most technically sophisticated. Best Buy ended up breaking my ipod in the process and they paid for a new one and didn't install things correctly. I recommend buying the adapter and taking it somewhere more pro.
