I have a 2007 Sport. I looked into a dealer installing an evic. 3 dealers told me that they cannot install an evic in a 2007. Any one else ever been told this? Has anyone done it without a lot of cobbling?

I installed an evic in my 2002 sport that I got on ebay for $100. It was fairly easy, so I decided to do the same for my dad's 2005 sport for his b-day. I wasnt finding any time in my busy schedule to find one and buy it and install it though, so my mom was just looking into getting one from the dealer. They tried to tell her that it would be $1500 just for parts.

The moral of the story is this: the dealers dont know crap. some of them are ok and have some good info, but most of them are horrible.

I dont specifically know if you can install an evic in a 2007, but i cant imagine that you would be unable to do so. There are a couple people on here that know a ton about evics. Hopefully they will get on here and give you some good info.

Heres a link to the thread I had recently asking a few questions before I got my dads. There are a couple really good links in there with a bunch of info. Good luck!

Electronic Vehicle Information Center, It is the computer that mounts between the visors that tells you a lot of useful info.

It can be installed but it's not the type of thing a dealer would normally do.

for it to really be done right - the way a dealer would do it, it would costs thousands.

But with used parts and doing it yourself, it can be done for tens.
