    Although i dont have an idea on Melbourne installation prices, that does sound reasonable to tell you the truth......its not an easy job.

    Check out my other topic mate, I don't know much about cars and I did it myself in about 30 minutes, Buy the correct ISO / Converter plug from Autobarn and then your double din unit should just plug into your holden plug, That's pretty much it..... If you wish to use steering wheel controls solder 1 wire from the plug elsewhere.... It's really not that much of a hassle, I'd do it myself again if i needed too.... But $100 - $130 seems pretty reaosnable, And you probably won't find anything under $100 "Unless they're recommendations / friends"

    Give it a go yourself. Try and buy a plug that converts the holden to what ever you have.
    Failing that if you cant solder, grab yourself a set of crimpers and joiners.

    Follow a wire diagram and you cant go wrong. The headunit wires will be marked.
    Have to start somewhere

    As said before. You could probably do it yourself for all of 30 bucks for the harness to go from factory to stereo. That price isn't too bad though.
