Which modifications void warranty

[Ussamah]

What comes under warranty and which modifications will void your warranty. Is warranty really has any worth. I have booked city 1.5 manual without any frills. I am thinking about after market navigation and back cam. Beacuse I have heard that honda's system is very sluggish. Also, I might change the rims with some alloy ones. Somewhere I read that 1.5 comes with 15 inch rims. Is it true.

Any modification in electrical wiring/instruments and/or mechanical parts will void the warranty. And YES, warranty is important given the fact that now a days many of the owners faced problems in their car which were rectified under warranty.

So getting navigation will void my warranty?

[Massive_One]

Well, anybody who has gone through such situation can explain a bit better. I think this is why companies / dealers offer to get the navigation/alarm system, etc. fixed by them so that the warranty remains intact. Still, however, since I have no first-hand experience regarding that, any member who has experienced such can explain better.

I read somewhere on this forum that a guy bought a navigation unit and good lights from the open market and to them to a dealership to get installed. Paid the labor and kept the warranty intact as getting this stuff from dealership is, like everywhere else, stupidly expensive compared to open market. But i think that guy had a Corolla do you should actually ask a couple of Honda dealerships if they will install it or not.

Dealerships never install anything purchased from open market, be it Toyota or Honda.
And yes, warranty would be void if you get an aftermarket navigation unit. But, there's a way around it: get a reputed aftermarket system and get it installed 'grip to grip' without peeling off or cutting any wire of your cars system and do not sell your original player. Now if God forbid you experience any electrical problem with your car in future you'll just have to reinstall the old player back and that's it.
Warranty is only void when you cut or peel off any of the cars original wire. Aftermarket systems come with a different Jack so our electricians do temper our cars wiring to match them with the navigation systems wiring. They should actually alter the MULTIMEDIA units wiring and match it with your car's wiring but they actually don't care unless you tell them to.
Regarding the rims, if you get same sized (15*5.5J) alloy rims I don't think there's gonna be any problem.

Honda City Exterior Facelift from 09-14 to current model

So, i went on this mission to facelift my 2014 Honda city but faced a couple of difficulties throughout the whole procedure. This thread is to help people who want to face lift their older models to the newer ones. Il try to breakdown all the costs and the materials involved. A clean face lift requires two prequisites; Genuine parts & exquisite paint job .

But for reverse camera, they will have to peel off the wire to take current and adjust to the reverse gear light. Whats the other way around for that?

Plus I have chrome trim, rear spoiler, leather seat covers, custom floor matting and a cover on key fob!

None of these void warranty But getting fog lights done does.
