Car service center can get 1001 reason to void your warranty if they want to .. they can even say your service log record not good. Not follow exactly mileage to service .

Heavy modding sure direct void warranty as specially when touch of wiring/ cut wiring.

i know cut or make a jumper will void warranty but not plug n play type...will this also cause the car to brun?

I asked the Toyota saleman, Plug and play no void warranty....but as they say, they will find 1001 reasons to void your warranty if the worst happens...even if it doesn't relate to the part installed.

BUT, thing is what abt after the warranty period over and your ECU kong because of manufacturing defects etc? And it cost is a lot?...do you claim back?.....of course....but this happened to a 3008 owner, the Pug ECU died after the warranty and Nasim offered to replace it FOC....but so happens that owner fitted an after market Plug and Play DVD player...Nasim found that out and didn't bother anymore.
ECU can kong bro....many case even for Toyota...ever heard of the Avanza that kong ECU because UMWSC said that cockroach pissed on the PCB?...that one famous story in AW bro...they simply put the blame on cockroach just to void the warranty

Anyway, my advice, don't do any electrical mods during the warranty period.....But if you do and add DRL, DVD player, additional Rear brake Blinkers, BM horn, Voltage Stabilizers, etc....just pray your car is OK or the problem not related to you mods.......one more thing is abt after market Sport Rims...Toyota and Honda cars the bearings are worst...many times I see City, Vios come back to shop to refit original rims because the bearings got broken. My Vios 3 bearing broke. just take note. But adding Bodykits should be a problem unless that guy simply damage the car by drilling holes everyewhere

Light weight Rims should be OK.

oh really those aluminium type rite?but i heard more expensive than normal ones...

Those 2nd hand light weight Japan rims usually cost double or triple that of new Taiwan fake rims.

But Taiwan rims also got light weight ones

scare, dont mod.

mod, dont scare.

settle.

how bout in the middle?not too scare...not too daring

dont touch wiring lo.

sorry to say, put those lights and get warranty void, not worth la

if you say the car can be faster, better handling, ok la, worth la.
or change rim, because you can put better tyre, ok, it make sense.

the LED.......no use one wor....purely cosmetic.....and really got ppl's car got burned due to this.
you heard ppl accident after change rim or suspension? no right?

+1

That's y I didnt mod

+2!!!

hmm i think those bolded ones cannot do lo...if change bulb onli ok kua

1. change front grill and fix bodykits (since front and rear got sensors will this void warranty?not sure if they need remove those sensors from original body and do some rewiring)
2. fix front strut, rear antiroll and torsion bars
3. change headlamp, fog lamp and cabin bulbs to performance white light bulb
4. fix door scuff/sill plates (need do wiring)
5. change door handles to illuminated type (need do wiring)
6. change air/oil filter to performance type
7. fix fog lamp cover with built-in led drl (need do wiring)
8. fix rear bumper smoked led reflector with brake light (need do wiring)

but those dun hv plug n play type meh?no need tamper with the original wirings lo

i installed a tweeter speaker, they did cut the wire skin (didnt cut the wire cores off) and join with another wire. does that mean my warranty is over? how to help ah in this case, not worth it for a RM68 tweeter for the whole warrenty.
