Aftermarket head unit warranty void?
Well, since I recently just got a new civic, time to replace the junk head unit. But, I have a 4 year bumper-to-bumper watery on it. Would replacing the stock head unit void the whole warranty completely?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Ummmm......What exactly do you plan on stuffing into the seriously odd shaped hole in the dash?
No, it shouldn't void the warranty, but you had better read your warranty to be sure. Some contracts have wording that might cause it, but I sure wouldn't expect it from a stereo install.
Any damages caused by your work would not be covered, but someone would have to prove you caused it one way or the other.
You might contact this guy that has this tagline on every one of his posts: Contact me if you have any questions about car/home audio installation.
LOL, HTH

Your tagline was too easy. See the EDIT note at the bottom?
All warranties can be very different, so it pays to read yours..... The person calling in a claim on your car has all the power at that time.
I have seen a warranty voided because a speedometer got replaced when the car was new, with 2 miles, before the owner ever got the car.
I saw a warranty contract that was written to be expired before the car was ever built. No lie.
Read your own contract.
