hello all
my first post
i got a 2008 Fit base version this week and i'm planning to buy a remote starter from circuitcity (python 1400xp) for $199.99 with installation. if i do that will that void my warranty (3yrs/36000miles)?
thanks in advance

 

The manufacturer would have to be able to prove that your aftermarket item caused a failure to deny warranty coverage. As long as the remote starter has nothing to do with the item in question (say, a bad window regulator), you should have no problem.

Dealers will often try to scare folks who are uneducated, but if you understand the rules, you shouldn't have any trouble.

 

I have never heard of an after market alarm/remote starter voiding any kind of warranty. If you have it installed by a good shop you should be okay.

 

thanks for the replies

 

should not void it... ym honda dealership i got my Fit from sells an afermarket one that they will install....

 

You should be OK, but if your starter itself goes prepare to pay for it.

 

You might want to check with insurance company, it may void discounts for having immobilizer.

 

This has nothing to do with your question bourne1 but ... Welcome to FitFreak! It's always good to have new members join us.

 

they haven't asked me about it (whether i got a immobilizer or not) and i'm not gonna tell them about it

btw..did they (Circuitcity) bypass the immobilizer? i thought the system bypasses the immobilizer only when i use my remote.if they did bypass the whole system, can i use a valet key to operate my car?
thanks

 

hehe thanks
i love my fit..i wish i bought the sport version.

 

Thats kinda 50/50, i would call your dealer just to make sure!

i asked my salesperson whether my key has any kind of chip in it when i first met her but she told me there was no chip.
when i went to CC to install the remote starter they told me that my key has a chip in it and they confirmed it by calling a dealer.so i guess my salesperson is not very knowledgeable about this
anyway i'm taking my car to CC and i will ask them about it tomorrow. i want to find out where they put the spare key inside my car because i wanna cut the top of it just in case
