WILL THE INSTALLATION OF AN AFTERMARKET VEHICLE SECURITY PRODUCT INVALIDATE MY WARRANTY?

 

The simple answer is no, but there are rules, governed by the MV-BEO, that if not followed would invalidate a warranty, for example:

​

If the device is fitted by a qualified independent installer, then the manufacturer would have to
prove that, due to a poor installation, a vehicle fault had developed which would not then be covered under the vehicle’s warranty.

 

Under the MV-BEO vehicle manufacturers cannot insist that your vehicle must have any work carried
out on it by an authorised network whilst under warranty. This is because it would deprive consumers of their right to choose to have their vehicle maintained or repaired by an independent repairer and it would, especially in the case of “extended warranties”, prevent such repairers from competing effectively with the authorised network.
