DaveloMA Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi. I'm considering a C-Max, and I'm wondering if dealers can add/install factory packages. For example, if I find an SE without heated seats and mirrors (the cold weather package), can I order that package and have it installed at the dealer? Thanks!David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdiesel1 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't even think about something like this. 1st, they'll hack the car. The added labor will be much higher than the value.The parts will be much more expensive than the package availability from the factory. You might have interface problemswith it. These systems are all CAN-Buss controlled and integrated into the vehicle. You can add this stuff, but labor kills the deal. The best thing to do is.......... BUY the CAR you want the way you want it.That way it's not cobbled together by some flat rate tech.

finallycarforme Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would agree with the above poster, get the package you want. I live in the Mid-Atlantic and almost every SE I've seen has the winter package. That was not true in California where I was over the holidays and looked at cars with my dad. Your profile says you are in MA, I'll bet most of the SE's you find have the winter package already. I love those heated seats! That heat up super fast (like 30 seconds and you feel the warmth starting, so unlike my 2005 Odyssey which takes at least 5 minutes) and you can set them to Roast if you want to. You want the heated seats... I lived in MA for 5 years, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomoto Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Agreed, buy the car you want. Dealer parts and labor prices are WAY more than factory prices. Typically, the dealer can only install the low hanging fruit (plug and play accessories or cosmetics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL Tech Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Agreed, do not give any business to the stealershit. They will rip you off unbelievably. You will pay $3000 for something worth $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
