FAQ
Pricing questions
How much does dash cam installation cost in the Bay Area?
OE Plus charges $250–$300 to install a hardwired front dash cam and $350–$500 for a front + rear system, at your home or office. An external battery for parking-mode recording adds $150–$200. Most dash cam installs take about 2–4 hours. Prices updated November 2026.

Do you recommend the parts?
Yes. Text or email us your car’s year, make and model and what you want installed. We confirm the exact price for your car before booking and recommend the parts to you, so you know what you are getting before we arrive.
How much does it cost to add Apple CarPlay to my factory screen?
An Apple CarPlay / Android Auto module retrofit to your factory screen costs $450–$600 installed. A retrofit to the factory screen is more reliable than replacing the stereo with an aftermarket Android-based unit, and it keeps your dashboard looking original.
Why add a battery pack to a dash cam?
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.
