I recently purchased a new car, and was in need of a dash cam installed. Benson was the first one to reach out to my inquiry, and I'm glad I went with him. He arrived on time for our appointment at my condo, and finished the whole job in under an hour. After the install was done, Benson sat with me to get the app installed and to work through the pairing process with my phone. He was very professional and friendly, and the whole process was very easy. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone who needs a dash cam installed. read more

Mahalo Benson for finishing off this last project. Scored a powered 10" sub at a great price and Benson came through once again to install it. Luckily he planned ahead and picked up the wiring kit for me and had it completed within an hour. Happy the wind and rain died down enough so you could make it happen again!! Mahalo plenty Benson! read more

Great experience with Benson. Timely, professional installation of systems on two of our cars. We'll be calling him back to do a third, soon. Highly recommend! read more

Front-view parking camera for my 2022 Mustang Mach I Benson is awesome - very persistent finding the best installation option for my car, went with a camera/rearview mirror display. Very professional installation, and he's a good guy with lots of Aloha. read more

I was in search to have an alarm system installed in my vehicle and was reviewing several installers. While searching I came across Mobile Audio and Security. The reviews were so,positive I contacted Benson via the Better Business Bureau. I scheduled an install and I must admit, Benson was extremely professional in his communication and work ethics. ArrIved prior to the scheduled time which was appreciated. Finished the install under 2 hours. Why leave your vehicle at a shop when he comes to you. Clean cut, friendly, professional, priced right. Definitely 5 stars.. read more

**If you're reading this review, stop scrolling and just call Benson already. Seriously.** Let me paint you a picture: I drive a 1999 Daihatsu Mira Gino--aka a rolling piece of JDM charm with the acoustic performance of a tin can in a wind tunnel. I thought I could handle upgrading my speakers, slapping on some sound deadening (or is it dampening? Is this car audio or an emotional support group?), and installing an ALPINE CASSETTE DECK. Yeah, you read that right--vintage audio cassette flex. They don't make 'em like that anymore... because they literally don't make them anymore. But then came the reality check: me, crouched in my garage, covered in speaker wire and existential regret, realizing I had no clue what I was doing. Enter **Benson**, a man whose patience, skill, and Jedi-level precision turned my audio disaster into a symphony on wheels. Not only did he fix my screw-ups without judgment (seriously, I think he deserves a medal just for that), but he made custom adjustments to my door panels, like some kind of fiberglass whisperer. Oh--and just for fun, he fixed my tachometer gauge, because apparently he's also a wizard. He showed up ON TIME (already rare in this industry), was incredibly kind, respectful, and professional, and treated my car like it was his own. The install? F L A W L E S S I'm talking zero rattles, clean wiring, everything tucked in like a fancy audio burrito. There's a reason Benson has a perfect 5-star rating--and if Yelp allowed it, I'd slap on a sixth star, a gold trophy, and maybe a parade float in his honor. Bottom line: if you want quality work, from a genuinely good human being who knows car audio like the back of his torque wrench, Benson is your guy. I can't recommend him enough. P.S. If you're planning on installing your own gear first to "save money," let me stop you right there. Just... don't. Call Benson. Save yourself the headache and let a pro handle it. Trust me, your ears (and your car) will thank you. read more

Benson was great at communicating with me and provided excellent service. He was able to fix my radio in less than half an hour. When I'm ready to upgrade my radio I'll definitely use his services again. read more

(Fun fact) my radio has been broken for a year now and I've been listening to complete silence. No music has literally bothered everyone else but me who drives the car all the time ... lol! I finally decided to get it fixed after troubleshooting it with no luck in the past. It was literally running on a continuous update loop and apparently is a problem with rav 4 models. My husband originally went to Best Buy and they said to fix my unit would be close or around $1k since I would need so many parts and a new camera. They suggested someone nearby too but also mentioned that they might not do camera installments. For some reason it just made me price around different places. I did a general yelp inquiry and it sent to multiple businesses. I got several quotes and each person had different rates, times, and units. I informed my husband and he said the quote from mobile audio and security seemed like the best one and the unit itself is probably $400 with navigation features. He also said it is probably better if I did it this way too since I can stay home and not wait around for it somewhere. I ended up going with bensen and response time was always good and professional. He fixed my audio unit in about 2 hours which most of the time I was home in bed since I was a little under the weather anyway so it helped a lot. He gave me a call once it was finished and he was just chatting with my dad while I was working my way downstairs. He also showed me all the features on my new set including the Bluetooth plug and plays and navigation which I didn't have before. Payment can be done by cash or credit card with a slight fee if you choose credit card which is no big deal. He also does dash cameras too which I may consider in the future. read more

2nd time using Mobile Audio and Security for alarm installs. You get the convenience of him coming to you if you have a busy schedule. Always responded to my messages. Prices were always on point. Professional quality in his work. I will be using Benson in the future and I highly recommend him for any kind of car audio and security install. Much Mahalo'z read more

I was all set on purchasing a new back up camera from Benson for my Tacoma. After doing a thorough check, Benson told me that my camera wasn't the problem. Previous owner did a poor install. Benson tightened up and secured all the connections. Camera is working perfect. Even took the time to recalibrate the parking guidelines for the camera. That kind of honesty and service is hard to find. Mobile Audio & Security 5+ Stars! Thank you Benson!! read more

I contacted several businesses on Yelp for quotes for dash cam installation. I was already looking at this business because of all the positive reviews Benson had gotten. Benson was one of two price quotes I received and his was the only quote that included what materials he would use. Benson was available to come out mid week and install the dash cam. The day of our appointment he called and asked if he could come earlier and he did. He is a polite and respectful young man, got the job done, got me running, gave me several helpful videos and showed me everything I needed to know. The equipment comes with one year warranty parts and labor and Benson said to call any time if I needed help. He's mobile, he uses high quality equipment and he has integrity. Why look any further? And you know in Honolulu dashcams are no longer a luxury but a necessity! read more

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! He came earlier than appointment time, was super friendly and did BOTH my trucks so quick! Would definitely use his services again and going to recommend him to all my friends and family! Mahalo Nui Loa Benson! read more

My granddaughter had Benson install a Car Play in her Camry and she highly recommended him. I called him to schedule a Car Play install on my 2012 Tacoma. He was very friendly and also knowledgeable regarding this product and finished in less than an hour. I was impressed with the quality of his work and decided to upgrade my dash cam. He came in less than a week and began installing the new dash cam. The rear camera was previously installed in the wrong location and he relocated the new camera where it was supposed to be. I was amazed at how fast he was able to finish the dash cam. He explained how it works and it took me a while and I finally got it. I found out that Benson preps each unit at home before coming to your house to install it. He is very professional and efficient on all that he does and I highly recommend him for all of your audio, camera or alarm needs. read more

I was looking for a installer for a dashcam i purchased. So of course i looked at Yelp. Messaged Benson from Mobile Audio and even got some other quotes. Why i picked Mobile Audio over his competitors? His reviews, years of experience and hes mobile! Yes he did the install at my home. Soooo convenient!! Benson is very personable. Easy to talk with. When he was installing the dashcam he was all business. And thats good. Very professional. I asked if he could put the dashcam in a certain area. He told me my view might be impaired when i drive. He said put it on the passenger side. At the end i understood his logic and agreed. He did a very clean install threw away all his mess and showed me everything. Im happy with his service and will use him for other work i talked to him about. Mahalo Benson. read more

Mobile Audio & Security - I doesnt really like to take pics. So....this is it lol! - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We got an aftermarket blind spot alert system installed in two vehicles and they work super well and have already saved us from several potential accidents. The Garmin dashcams installed in both vehicles are also perfect! Super awesome service and highly responsive... Benson's work is very much appreciated! read more

After seeing all of the great reviews I seen on this business, I've decided that this was the guy (BENSON) was quick to respond after requesting quotes on yelp. He was the first to respond out of like 7-8 companies. And I knew right off the bat, this is the guy to go with. Answered all my questions and concerns and scheduled be within a few days. I ordered the Wolfbox mirror dash cam off Amazon. He's mobile too! Came to my house a little earlier than scheduled which is also a plus! And he installed my dash cam front/rear cameras. Very nice installation without seeing any exposed wires. Very neatly installed! I'll be calling benson again to wire up some sounds for me in the near future! Thanks brada. read more

Mobile Audio & Security - Rear cam - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very fast and convenient! Dash cam install is very clean, would recommend. Will definitely come back if I need anything else.

Benson did a great job hardwiring a dash cam on my wife's vehicle. He responds quickly to messages and showed up on time. Highly recommend!

Amazing, fast, dash cam installation done by Benson. I had a few questions which he answered very promptly. I scheduled an appointment for installation within a week. I opted to buy my own camera from Amazon and so far 100% satisfied with the job. Benson was very friendly, professional, and did an amazing job installing both the front and rear dash cams on my little subcompact SUV. Although he wasn't the lowest bidder, I really value all the positive 5-star reviews he has received, and chose him over lower priced competitors. Yes, I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Benson for doing the install on such short notice! read more

I was little skeptical about the mobile service but my friend recommended Benson. Benson's service was awesome and his fee was very reasonable. I strongly recommend Benson to anyone. read more

Benson was helpful, responsive and did a great job installing new speakers in our car. He also programmed a replacement key fob I purchased. Super nice guy, was easy to communicate with and schedule a time for him to come by. He works fast and does quality work- also, the fact that he's mobile is very convenient. Would definitely recommend and use him again in the future. Thanks, Benson! read more

Very impressed by Benson's approach. Very helpful, kind, and honest! I very much appreciate it! Mahalo Benson! read more

Benson was awesome! When I reached out for a quote, he gave a detailed description of what he'd be installing, which I really appreciated. He came to my house (and even arrived early!) to install Apple CarPlay in my 2017 Toyota Camry, making it super convenient. He responded quickly, communicated clearly, and was very polite and professional. The installation was quick, and everything works perfectly. I Definitely recommend him!! read more

Benson is an awesome guy! I've been having trouble with my car alarm remote and couldn't move my truck. I finally searched on Yelp found him and said he could come out and take a look at it same day. He was able to reprogram a new remote for me and fix my remote start in less than hour! Much mahalos for time and services! Highly suggest to hit him up for any security or audio services. read more

When it came time to upgrade my 2008 Honda Element's audio system, I knew I needed someone who could handle the job with precision and care. That's when I found Benson - owner of Mobile Audio & Security. From the moment he greeted me, his professionalism and attention to detail were clear. Benson installed my Kenwood stereo head and backup camera with ease. He is an experienced local business with exceptional attention to customer service. I brought my vehicle back a week later to have him replace all of the speakers in my car and to get an issue with my Kenwood/Garmin GPS map system looked at. The new speakers, upgraded head system, and backup camera now makes every drive a pleasure. Benson's excellence doesn't stop at his technical skills. He took the time to explain every step of the installation process, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. Benson is not just an installer; he's an artist who understands that music is not just heard but felt. If you're looking for someone who will treat your car's audio system like a masterpiece, Benson is the man to call. read more

Benson is awesome. He is super professional, prompt, meticulous, and explains everything. He installed my dash cam without a hitch. I'm terrible with technology so he stayed on to show me a YouTube video and helped connect the dash cam to my iPhone. Said if I had any further questions on how to use the system to call and he would talk me through it. I highly recommend Mobile Audio & Security!!! read more

If you're looking for an honest, respectful, on time person who knows his profession and does clean work, hit up Benson. He took the time to answer all my questions, pre and post the M7 dashcam install in my 4Runner, and then showed me how to use the app. Mobile service costed a little more than a shop install, but well worth the convenience. Awesome guy! Thank you, Benson! read more

So fast and efficient! Very knowledgeable and very polite! I would highly recommend this business!! Had a viper alarm installed.

For some time, I've been wanting to replace my front only dash cam that I had plugged into one of the USB inputs meaning it only worked when the power was on. I've wanted a front and back combination dash cam that was hardwired so it may also work in 'parking mode' (meaning when the engine was off). One late night, I contacted Benson through Yelp not expecting to receive a response so soon, but within minutes he replied back surprising me ! He said go get the dash cam I wanted and he'd install it. I was thinking if he'd come over to my place as I saw that in the Yelp reviews, but it wouldn't work for me since my condo has no guest parking for his truck, so I mentioned that it wasn't a problem to come over to his shop at 150 Puuhale Road. While I waited for my order to arrive, he forwarded a pic as to show me what driveway to enter. I also checked on Google Street View to see this place which is a top and bottom level parking structure between two buildings. If you try to input 150 Puuhale Road into Google Maps, the picture that pops onto the screen is *not* exactly correct, as it is more makai of the picture in the next building makai of that '210' building. So my appointment for work on my '17 Mazda 3 hatchback was set for 9am today Wednesday, and I drive into the right side driveway where the 'Envision' and 'Hakuyosha Dust Tex' business signs are at the front driveway entry. Then count seven (7) metal vertical support columns as you drive forward as you will then turn a quick left *just before* the white business trailer that is just left of the two way driveway. His shop (though small) houses mainly his office and is just to the left of the two level parking structure --- don't go looking for any type of a stereo shop showroom. I came there about ten minutes early and was met by Benson, who began to start the installation of the dash cams onto my car. He did say there was one car coming in for 'calibration' (I thought for SQ) but after that man was serviced for about ten minutes and then left, he told me it was for those vehicles that would not start if the person is DUI. Ok, back to my install since he was only able to get the items out of the boxes and start working before that vehicle arrived. Side note: he is a Start Smart Interlock Ignition dealer/service center. I have a Mazda 3 hatchback, and it just took him *about 40 minutes* to complete the installation ! He had provided me with a wooden stool to sit outside right next to my car as he didn't want anyone waiting inside his small office space during these covid-19 times which I understood. Benson started at the back hatch window to install the dash cam and wiring which I thought was unusual (for me anyways) as I thought they'd start at the front and work their way back. He used Tesa tape (which is a CLEAN way to secure wiring) through several areas for the layout of the wiring cables. My worse pet peeve is when a stereo installer does not secure the wiring in certain instances where he has to combine more than two wire cables, the next worse would be if they used twist ties *which I don't see anymore*, with the next being zip ties (which would have been ok) installed at spaced out intervals, and the best would be to use Tesa tape. Once I saw Benson using Tesa tape, I *knew* this was quality workmanship... as I had my powered sub and alarm installed elsewhere and they used a lot of the Tesa tape for that clean/finished appearance. He then routed the wiring into the C, B and A headliner pillars and when that wiring met with the hardwired kit, he wrapped them with Tesa tape again... I'm liking this guy ! This is pride in his work ! As he got down to the fuse box area to secure the ground, I guess he did not find a good grounding point, so you could hear his drill spinning and also clearing the paint around the screw so that there would be a good grounding point. More Tesa tape being installed near the fuse box, then finally more Tesa tape just above my front windshield dash cam where the power cable and front to back camera cable were taped together --- it looked soo nice, clean, and less cluttered for sure ! Once pau with his work, we went back into his office to pay. He told me that his work comes with a one (1) year labor warranty... great ! Any problems I incur, he said to call him to talk about it... I started talking about where I had my sub and alarm installed, and before I said the name, he *knew* the shop that installed the work (Security and Sound Systems in Moiliili). I said ' how'd you know?' He said because he saw the Tesa tape wrapping... and that he does it the same way. Now you know, same quality workmanship but at a way lesser labor price... go see Benson ! I just looked at all of his Yelp reviews, and ALL 66 reviews have a 5 star out of 5 star rating, so that should mean something if you have any intentions of doing any kind of stereo/alarm/dash cam, etc work to your personal & commercial vehicles read more

I needed to have some dash cams installed in my 3 cars. I thought of doing it myself but instead decided to hire a pro. I messaged Mobile Audio & Security and Benson promptly replied. His price was fair and what I really liked about him was that he was a mobile installer and could come to my house to do the installation. He was really fast and the installations were nice and clean. I highly recommmend Benson for your dash cam installation. read more

Another quality install with front camera and interior lighting! Benson is very accommodating and flexible. Look forward doing more business with him! read more

Great service! Appreciate the fast response and friendly service from this business. Had a dash cam professionally installed and he was done a little over an hour. Cables were neatly tucked away. I really do like that they come to you, rather than you bringing your car into a shop. Very convenient! read more

Benson is awesome, came very quick and replaced my speakers in less than 30 min! Would definitely recommend.

I purchased a new radio deck online and Benson came to my house and installed it in under 2 hours. I was also having an issue with my door speaker and he was able to fix that as well. Very reasonably priced, especially since he came to my house. I will be using Benson for all my future car audio projects. read more

Called to have a dash cam installed. Benson came out the following Monday, and was done in a short time. very neat job. I will get dash cams for my wife's and my daughter's car, too. read more

I needed to upgrade both my audio and security system so I text Benson to set a mobile appointment. The day Benson arrived to do the Installation he introduced himself, gave him my car keys told him that there's a cooler with ice cold drinks for him cause it was a hot day. When he was done with the Installation, he gave me a quick class on the systems installed. This was my first time using Mobile Audio & Security and I was very pleased with his excellent work and great customer service. I will definitely be calling Benson again for any future installation. Big MAHALO Benson!!! read more

Here's another 5 star review for Benson. With all the crazy drivers out there nowadays HPD suggested I get a dash cam to have evidence if there's an accident or theft. Found a highly rated dash cam in Amazon then contacted Benson for installation. He worked with me to ensure I had the right hardware before he came to install the camera. I appreciate his helpful questions, prompt responses, and efficient service. Benson shows up on time, the work is great and fast! read more
