400 bucks for an ipod "Interface" when an "ipod" cost 225 bucks SUCKS no matter what.

Even though it's listed in the catalog, no question in my mind that someone at the parts counter should have asked you 'if you already had one...' I remember years ago buying two H-P Laser ColorJet printers, spending almost $2k. Do you think the guy who 'sold' me the printers told me I needed a USB cable, which was not the norm back then? Nooooo; instead, I had to drive 20 miles round-trip, and couldn't make it back before the store closed, so I had to wait until the next day to get them set up and try them out.

It's all about customer service, and letting someone walk out the door without making sure they've got everything they need to complete the project is a big strike-out in my book. I feel the parts person is supposed to be the expert on what it takes to install an accessory, at least in terms what's needed to do the job.

Nobody sucks .... just some things don't make no sense. My wife bought me the Harley dual-source heated vest for Xmas, the one that either connects to the bike's battery OR runs off it's own battery. And even though the vest comes with the battery charger, the battery is sold seperately. (Yes, it says it's sold separately in the catalog). So, back to the dealership we go to purchase the battery.
