Default Will this void my warranty?

I've never owened A car with a warranty

If I take out the factory radio and install a aftermarket radio and put it in myself (not a shop) will I void the warranty(s) on anything?

Also,if I take the door panels off and install new speakers as well as alot of sound damping material will anything be out of warranty??

I really want to upgrade my audio but I dont want to kill any kind of warranty

Anyone help?

nothing voids ur warranty unless they can prove that your aftermarket parts caused a failure to your car.

Plus theres wire hardness you can get for free most of the time when ordering aftermarket decks. Which allows u to not splice into your stock hardness at all.

Oh yeah im gonna use a harness. Ive done many hardwire install and they are the worst.

So no major deal in swapping out headunit then??? I know some cars radio and HVAC unit is all in one , I wasnt sure if that was the case here?

Im just trying to watch out for myself.

thanks,
Robert

edit.. I misread that.

your warranty will be fine. The hvac and radio are separate pieces. You just pop the front off unplug the hvac, unscrew/bolt the old headunit, take it out and plug the new one in - easy as pie... however easy pie may be.

I think you'd void the wrranty for your stock HU and speakers if you replace them, but it shouldn't effect anything else, unless the work you do causes something else to fail.

^ Not unless the existing aux cable is compatible with, and connected to, the new HU.
