I will be buying BlackVue dash cam soon. Would like to find a reputable shop in OC / Irvine arena. Many thanks!

cfm56d7b,
I can help you, it's an easy DIY and shouldn't take more than an hour. I've learned using YT videos and are you going to setup 1 or 2 channel? Hardwire to fusebox or external battery pack?

Thanks for the offer to help. I also decided to add Cellink NEO battery to avoid the risk of draining the car battery. Bit too much for a weekend project and not enough time. Several recommendations already arrived - it's a shop I visited today. Had a chance to see several vehicles with dash cams already installed. Nice work.

No problem. Mine is hardwired to fuse box, no issues because used the MS switch.

Post pics after the install, curious to see how the shop installed it.

I will post pictures after installation. Stay tuned.

cool. I'd like to see how they installed the cellink neo, I am considering taking that route because could keep the car battery/fuse box longevity. My blackvue starting to shut off randomly during parking mode when out and about.

My install is pretty clean, just a matter of changing out the MS switch to replace with an external battery pack.

Hi OP, can you PM me the installer you used and price? I contacted a few shops in the IE and no one's responding/taking the job for installing AVIN system. I'd travel to the OC to get the work done. Thanks.
