Does Best Buy no longer offer car stereo receiver installations (paid or included with stereo purchase)? I've been wanting to upgrade my old car's stereo unit and now that I'm ready to buy, I see "installation may be available, but you'll need to choose a different store location" and no location near 250 miles around me seem to offer it. For reference, I was looking to buy a Sony unit with Apple CarPlay SKU: 6480147

Anyone have anything official backing this up?

Hey yall,

Just set an appointment today to have a stereo installed. I purchased the stereo from Best Buy to qualify for the free install. My car has both a backup cam and steering wheel controls. I went out of my way to purchase a full install kit with the wiring harnesses (stereo, backup cam, steering controls, usb adapter etc), dash kit, the whole nine yards.

When I was scheduling the appointment, the fella let me know that I would still have to pay for the labor on the steering wheel controls ($64.99) and for the backup cam ($149.99)

Do I really have to pay 150 for them to join a few wires to my existing OEM backup cam? It seems absurd and at that rate I’d rather go through the process of doing it myself. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I’m planning to install an aftermarket car radio in my 2017 Honda Accord. The unit I ordered just arrived today, and I tried installing it myself, but I don’t have the proper tools, so I’m thinking about getting it installed at Best Buy.

On their website, I see a service called "In-Dash Car Stereo Installation" for $130. Is this the right service for installing an aftermarket head unit? Has anyone used Best Buy for this kind of installation before?

Also, how do I make an appointment for the installation? Can I book it online, or do I need to call or visit a store?

I was thinking of getting the Pioneer DMH-2660NEX installed in my 2016 Outlander at best buy. I have installed non-carplay stereo receivers in my other cars before but they didn't have backup cameras, steering wheel controls or handsfree systems. Is there service any good? I know I will have to pay extra to retain the steering wheel controls.

I was thinking about having Best Buy install my sub and amp and wiring it as I’m not confident in my ability to make sure it’s working to the best of its ability.

Have any of you guys had anything installed by Best Buy? How was the quality? Would you say it’s worth the price

How much do they charge to install a radio the customer supplies? I have a special radio I want to use that BB doesn't sell, but I don't want to install it myself. Hoping I can pay BB to do it. Thanks.

I have an '08 Porsche Turbo that needs the head unit replaced. I have an extended warranty (non-factory) that will cover the replacement. I'll be paying upfront and the warranty company will reimburse me later. However, they'll need to talk to the installer and depending on the cost (if it's over $1,000), they'll send an appraiser out to inspect. Is this something that Best Buy can do?

Also, I have Total Tech from a TV purchase a few weeks ago. What type of savings or benefits would I realize when using Best Buy's car stereo services. Thank you in advance.

First off, here's the obligatory post about how the call center is useless and how I wish I could talk to the store directly. I'm sure for simple issues like inventory the call center is fine, but for specialized questions they don't really cut it.

Anyway - I'm looking to get a CarPlay unit and backup camera installed in my car. I scheduled the appointment for next week even though I hadn't picked out the specific unit yet just because I wanted to lock in the date. When I scheduled the appointment, it said it would be something like $400 for these installs, but I ignored that since the unit I'm purchasing supposedly comes with free installation. So - here's my questions:

1. Can I buy the items from bestbuy.com and have them shipped to me, and then bring them with me to my installation appointment and have them honor the free installation? Or do I need to buy them specifically from the store where the installation is being done?

2. IF I do need to buy them from the store, can I purchase them on bestbuy.com for in-store pickup from that store? Or do I need to actually go in and buy them in person on installation day?

3. Is there any way to get ahold of anyone who can tell me if I need to purchase anything else besides the radio unit and the camera? From looking around online, it sounds like I need a mounting kit or a sleeve or something like that, and I don't know if that's something I need to buy beforehand or if that's something they'll have at the installation place for purchase.

Thanks for the help in advance, if anyone can help me out with these questions!
