A common question we get at Precision Audio is “Will installing this product void my new vehicle warranty?” The simple answer is No. Let me explain.
In the early 1970s, car dealers started telling customers that they would lose their new car warranties unless all parts and service work was done by the dealer. As you can imagine, this created a firestorm, and Congress responded. In 1975, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act became law. Here is a link to the FTC’s site if you want more in-depth reading:

Simply Installing Aftermarket Electronics Will Not Void Your New Vehicle Warranty
In a nutshell, this law states that, for a vehicle manufacturer to void your warranty, the manufacturer has to prove that the aftermarket part or the labor performed caused the issue. The sad reality is that car dealers have short memory spans and are using this tactic with consumers again today. They are trying to limit your ability to install high-quality products on your vehicle – that’s right, your vehicle, that you paid good money for.
We Only Sell The Finest Products
There is one very important caveat to this issue. If the product and/or the service work performed did actually create a problem, then your warranty may be suspect. The good news is that Precision Audio sells only the finest products available. We are not willing to sacrifice quality on the front end to make a quick dollar. We know you worked hard for your money, and we would rather tell you to keep your money in the bank for a few more weeks to get something that will be reliable for years.
