What are the Hidden Risks of DIY Installation
You might find yourself thinking, “How hard can it really be to install a new stereo?”. After all, it often doesn’t seem all that complicated, especially if you’ve done some of your own modifications in the past. Contrary to what a lot of YouTube videos and forums will tell you, however, any sort of aftermarket upgrade that involves electrical work is never wise to attempt on your own. Why? Without the right knowledge, tools, and expertise, you run the risk of damaging your vehicle’s electrical system, voiding warranties, or even damaging the new stereo unit. Frequent DIY errors include:
- Wiring errors can lead to serious issues like power surges, damage to the stereo unit, electrical fires, or loss of vehicle features like steering wheel controls, etc.
- Improper mounting is a common occurrence that can leave the stereo vulnerable to rattling or falling out.
- Voiding your warranty. DIY installation can often void both the stereo warranty and your manufacturer warranty for the vehicle itself, leaving you unprotected if something goes wrong!
So, with these mistakes in mind… it’s best to leave your stereo install to a team that knows exactly what to do and has you covered just in case something happens!
