If you are planning a new car, your best bet is to avoid the ones with third-party components. If you do find just a car you're looking for, but it's missing an accessory that you'd like, the check to see if the dealership can do the installation for you.

Some of the usual third-party items include: sunroofs, backup cameras, navigational systems, indash or under dash stereos, remote starters, alarms, and DVD players. The trick is to stick to factory installed items.

It may be a pain, but you'll have to wait for the dealer to locate the car you're looking for or order the car you want. But there are some big benefits. The best thing is that your accessories will be covered if you have any problems with them or the car. What happens with aftermarket components, is that unofficial installations may end up voiding your car warranty.

Third-party accessories are normally installed at facilities though not been approved by a manufacturer or the dealership. And dealerships do not usually extend a warranty to cover third-party installations. The car manufacturer certainly doesn't provide any guarantee because the components don't come from them.

In fact, even the aftermarket installer may not offer any kind of warranty on your spiffy new gear. If you do end up having any trouble, odds are, you may not have many options for warranty coverage.

Most likely, you will not have the protection and remedies provided by your state?s lemon law. In our practice, we have heard many horror stories from buyers of vehicles with aftermarket accessories or components:

* A remote starter from a third party was improperly installed and drain the battery dead.

* The third-party sunroof, ended up funneling rainwater right inside the car.

* A poorly installed aftermarket DVD player, shorted out the car and kept it from starting.

* The third-party GPS component ruined that the entire vehicles, electrical system.

Even though these were serious problems, the state's lemon laws didn't apply. As a result, these people either lived with the problems are caused, or had the components removed at their own expense

If aftermarket components happen to cause damage to the factory components in your car, your warranty may be partially or even fully voided.
