2002 Accord LX Will adding an aftermarket remote starter affect the warranty in any manner?
Only if it causes an OEM part to fail. That failure would not be covered, but the warranty would not be voided. That is one advantage of using only dealer installed OEM options mike hunt
Not true...more drivel from our village idiot... I knew a guy who installed an after market alarm on his Ford Focus. It was hooked up wrong, and burnt some wiring on the headlamp circuit. The dealer charged for the repair. A few months later, the ECM went out. When he returned to the dealer, he was told his entire electrical warranty was voided because of the previous repair...he ended up paying for that repair also, and does not have an electrical warranty at all. Mike, do us a favor...I mean, I know you like to see your name in print, but just shut your ignorant mouth when you don't know what your talking about. How many times does this have to happen?
Duh! What part of "Only if it causes an OEM part to fail. That failure would not be covered, but the warranty would not be voided" didn't you understand? That is why it is to ones advantage to use OEM options, then the causal part is also covered by the warranty. IF the failure of the ECM can be shown to be a result from the non OEM part it would not be covered. The warranty, or any part if it, CAN NOT be voided only the warranty COVERAGE for that failure. Only the causal part can result in that particular warranty claim being denied by the manufacture. Try reading the warranty booklet provided by the manufacture and the federal warranty requirements, before you make yet another foolish statement. Normally I would not waste my time replying to a stupid posting but I don't want your post taken as fact by someone who may have a warranty problem because of you misinformation. mike hunt
I understand what you said crap-for-brains...try reading your own post again...his electrical warranty *was* voided in total. Sorry sport, but you are wrong. My friend fought this "cancellation" of his warranty, and lost. Dood, fact remains, his entire electrical warranty was voided from that point. Heh heh...all one has to do is a simple Google search on you, to see how often you are wrong...dead wrong in most cases. Right...right. If you are worried about "wasting time", do us all a favor, and shut up about things you know nothing about. You have been caught, and proven to be a liar here...nuff said!
Obviously you did not read a warranty booklet provided by the manufacture or look up federal warranty requirements. Your opinion is wrong because your friend was wrong. If you had ever submitted a warranty claim to a manufacture you would know that what I posted is entirely correct. Mind Trick Think of a letter between A and W. (Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.) Think of an animal that begins with that letter. (Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.) Think of either a man's/woman's name that begins with the last letter in the animals name Now count out the letters in that name on the fingers of the hand you are not using to scroll down. Take the hand you counted with and hold it out in front of you at face level Look at you palm very closely and notice the lines in your hand. Do the lines take the form of the first letter in the persons name? Of course not....... Now smack yourself in the head, get away form you PC and get a life, bye mike hunt
Nope. It is your misguided understanding of how electrical systems work, and your inability to fully understand how warranties work. It is *you* that is wrong...again. LOL! You are nothing more than a mark, and a proven liar here! You are dead wrong...yet again! Now *that's* the only thing "entirely correct" about you... Now fall down!
Go to a very reputable installation place, one that can guarantee their work. Also, don't take any crap from the dealership if they try to insinuate that a non related electrical problem is caused by the remote starter. I would not take any short cuts with an alarm installation on a new car. Pars
