QUOTE(donavan1986 @ Jun 21 2012, 06:58 PM) Dear all, I would like to install a set of touchscreen ICE on my newly purchase Toyota vios. I found that in the market, most of the available choices are China and Taiwan made ice. I don't want that. I want to install the Japanese brand ice but people tell me that to do that, I need to cut my original cable which will cause me to void my warranty. is this true? If you're willing to spend, then no necessarily true. Those OEM plug adaptors and a Alpine touch screen will set you back quite a lot of $$$$ but no need for cutting. As for warranty, anything you do to modify your car, service centers can and will blame the modification to not give you any warranty. So it's up to you.

Well I already get the confirm words from the agent that has serve my family for decades that he will help me settle the warranty if I didn't cut the wire. and keep the original set of audio system. regarding the system and OEM connector, only alphine got it?

Appreciate someone can help... Thanks get component set, a 4channel amp, and a subwoofer. 3k +/- should be able to do it no problem. if you want to soundproof your door then may not be enough.

what do u mean by yi yi oh oh sound? sound proof is to prevent unwanted noise cause by vibrating car parts. like quazacolt said. but its not solution to all noise in your car.if the noise come from ur foldable rear seats, sure sound proof wont much help.
put some good comp like morel etc at ur front speaker, play it loud and you know what i mean

But those sound are always treatable by doing proper sound insulation. btw, with you planning for SQL... I don't think you can hear any yi yi oh oh sound.
