A:AnswerI have the Viofo A129 duo (front and rear cameras that are joined by 1 wire) I just got quoted 49.99 PER CAMERA even though I have a 2 seater (so very small space to have to route it and the cameras are joined.) I really think Best Buy should make that more obvious and I have no clue why the previous answer to this states $129 seemingly just for the rear. these prices are all over the place!
A:AnswerBey but hard wired to the back, under dash of the power source. You can not see any wires, I used the Best Buy in Wesley Chapel, florida. I have front and rear cams and no wire are seen.
A:AnswerAfter purchasing you get an email with a code that you use to schedule an appointment at your local best buy. Not all best buys have mobile installers, but most do. You can call or do it online, but the install is done on-site at BB.
A:AnswerThere are two ways to install this: switched and unswitched. Switched means it will only power up when the ignition is on - and of course shut down when you turn the ignition off. There is an unswitched option that keeps the power on at all times, but does drain the battery, but at a very tiny rate. I have seen install kits that will also turn off the power to the cam if the battery’s voltage level drops below a certain point, like 11.7 volts I think.
A:AnswerYes the wires are hidden if you purchased the hard wired kit (except where it plugs into the camera), if not then it plugs into your lighter socket to power it up.
A:AnswerHi there. Thanks for your question! We do install dash cameras. The install for a dash camera is normally $59.99. It doesn't have to be purchased from us as long as it will be compatible with the vehicle. Keep in mind, we do have price matching which can make the process easier. For support with this, we'd recommend contacting your local Best Buy. You can find information about your local store at www.bestbuy.com/storelocator.
A:AnswerI just had a Garmin Mini2 dash cam installed by the Geek Squad in my Audi A3. He told me it would take 45 min to an hour. I came back in 45 min and right as I walked up to the store, he called to tell me it was done. That being said, there was some time on the front end before that for him to do a pre-inspection of the car and fill out paperwork for me to sign, and then there was paperwork for me to sign on the back end and I had to pay for the wire he used for the installation. So probably about 1 hour 15 min total.
A:AnswerIt is best to bring your own hardware kit as Best Buy may not have one for your specific dash cam. If, however, Best Buy does have a hardware kit for your dash cam then, yes, you can purchase it from them at the time of install (so long as it is in stock). I personally ordered all of my items (camera and accessories, including a hardware kit) far in advance of my installation date.
A:AnswerHello bzoerb – I’m glad to hear that you are ok after your accident. If you had us install your original dash cam, we can uninstall it for you at no cost, if the car can get to our install bay. You would need to pay to get the camera installed in the new car, but that would be something we would charge for. Please reach out to an Autotech at your local Best Buy to set up an appointment for this.
