Sorry, I missed the original posting on this, so I am replying to the reply.

Tell your dealer to pack sand.  Better yet, I'm sure that Apple would love
to hear about a dealer installing a $35 upgrade which they were suppose to
only charge a maximum of 1/2's labor for installion (usually bring the cost
up to $70 max).

Also, if you live near a Navy or Air Force base and have friends able to shop
there I know that the kit sells for $39 and is not that hard to install.
