Questions about mobile car electronics installation

Text (415) 578-0682 or email inquiry@oeplus.co with your car’s year, make and model, what you want installed and your ZIP code. There is no booking form. We reply with a price and the next open time, and we confirm the exact price for your car before booking.

We come to your home or office anywhere in San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. OE Plus is fully mobile, so there is no shop to drive to and no waiting room. We have a mileage charge for trips over 45 miles from San Francisco.

We install Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and we are closed on Sunday. You can text or email us any time with your car and what you want installed, and we will reply with a price and the next open appointment.

Yes. You can buy the part yourself and we install it. Our recommended products page lists the dash cams, backup cameras and stereos we install, with links to buy them. Bought something already? Text us the model and we will confirm we can install it in your car.

Yes. OE Plus is a VIOFO Authorized Installer, with official VIOFO warranty support on the VIOFO cameras we install. We also install BlackVue, Thinkware, Garmin and Vantrue dash cams, and we have been installing car electronics around the Bay Area since 2014.

No. We just need the keys to your car. Hand them over and get on with your day, at home or at work. When the install is done, we can hand the keys back in person or leave them somewhere you choose, like your mailbox, and close the garage behind us.

We can usually book anywhere from two days out to a couple of months ahead, so you can pick a date that suits you. Text or email us your car and what you want installed, and we will reply with a price and the next open time.

Your car can be parked on the street, or in your garage if there is enough room to work around it. If it rains and the car can only be parked on the street, we may need to reschedule your install for a dry day.

We accept cash, card, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal and Apple Pay, so you can pay whichever way is easiest for you. We confirm the exact price for your car before booking, so you know what you will pay before we arrive.

Yes. Our installation labor is guaranteed for one year. If something goes wrong with our work in that time, we come back and fix it at no charge. If the equipment itself fails, which can happen with any electronics, we charge a small fee for the return visit to fix it.

Most dash cam installs take about 2–4 hours. A front-only camera is at the quicker end. Front and rear cameras, or adding an external battery pack, take longer because there is more wiring to route and hide. We work at your home or office, so you can get on with your day.

A standard hardwire install turns the camera on and off with the car, so it does not run while the car is off. If you want continuous recording while parked, we recommend an external battery pack. It powers the camera instead of your car, which prevents parasitic draw on the car battery.

A hardwired front dash cam costs $250–$300 installed, and a front + rear system costs $350–$500. An external battery for parking-mode recording adds $150–$200. These are typical OE Plus prices, updated November 2026. We confirm the exact price for your car before booking.

Yes. A digital rear-view mirror can double as a dash camera. It replaces your mirror with a screen that shows the rear camera view and records footage, so one device does the job of a mirror and a dash cam. Text us your car’s year, make and model and we will tell you what fits.

No. Installing a dash cam does not affect your vehicle’s warranty. We never splice, cut or modify any factory wiring or parts, and all of the equipment and wiring can be removed later, leaving your car exactly as it was before.

A standard hardwire install turns the camera on and off with the car. For continuous recording while parked, we recommend an external battery, which adds $150–$200. It powers the camera instead of your car, which prevents parasitic draw on the car battery.

An Apple CarPlay / Android Auto module retrofit to your factory screen costs $450–$600 installed. Replacing the stereo with a new Apple CarPlay unit costs $200–$500 installed. These are typical OE Plus prices, updated November 2026. We confirm the exact price for your car before booking.

If your car has a factory screen, we usually recommend a retrofit. Adding an Apple CarPlay module to the factory screen is more reliable than replacing the stereo with an aftermarket Android-based unit, and it keeps your dashboard looking original. For older cars without a screen, a new stereo is the way to go.

Yes. The module retrofits we install support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and so do most of the stereos we recommend. A few models are Apple CarPlay only, such as the Sony XAV-AX1000. Tell us which phone you use and we’ll recommend a unit that works with it.

Yes. A speaker install costs $200–$400 per pair, and an amp and subwoofer costs $500–$700 installed. We can add Dynamat sound deadening to the doors during a speaker upgrade. Text us your car and what you want to improve, and we’ll recommend the parts.

Most Apple CarPlay and stereo installs take about 2–4 hours. The exact time depends on your vehicle and the type of install, whether that is an Apple CarPlay module added to your factory screen or a new aftermarket stereo. Text us your car’s year, make and model, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
