Thanks guys for the replies. Yes, after reading the extended threads on here about the pricing for cams fitting to a new car, I robustly challenged the £950 - quoting others experiences and dealer pricing. They wouldn't budge. I was told that I could take the parts for £789.90 (inc VAT) and fit myself. Full price for supply and fitting was £1020, so they had discounted . I agree £160 for simple fitting is ridiculous - but aren't the charges for all Porsche dealer servicing similarly outrageous ? I wanted the cams fitted from taking delivery and so have, reluctantly, swallowed the £950. Sorry but the hassle, fuel cost and time for a round-trip of 400 miles to Portsmouth isn't feasible for me, a fact not lost on Porsche Leicester. Take it easy on a newbie
The parts are £480 including VAT. That’s what I was charged in Dec2022.
Actually in Dec 2022 the price was as follows. Extract from my quote
I will speak to the technician who does the job so we can get the dashcam fitted to how you were showing me yesterday. The total cost for the parts £460.24inc VAT.

They’re charging you for a non pre wired car!!!
If they think they can recover the cost of the coffee and fleece you for the air you breathe, they will!

Those figures are just wrong. Ring one of the Porsche GB dealers like Guildford or Reading to get a proper price.
With the pre wired cars the price shouldn’t be more than around £700 including the cameras.

If I remember from when I had mine fitted both Guildford and Portsmouth were far cheaper. As I said I got a copy of a members invoice. Showed it to my SE - parts disagreed so he reduced (a discount) the price of the car to match the invoice.

@Skyway - was that for both front and rear dash cams or just the front?
