can't make modifications or it voids the warranty
You might be happy to know that a manufacturer cannot void the entire warranty due to modifications. They can only void the warranty as it applies to parts that break due to the modification itself.
In other words, putting in a new sound system cannot be used as the "warranty is void" excuse if the part that breaks is unrelated to your installation and use of the new sound system. (I used to work in a dealer service department)
If you install a lift and bigger tires and start breaking u-joints, then they can void the warranty on the u-joints due to the lift and tires contributing to the u-joint failures, as they were not designed to operate at the new angles that you subjected them to.
