Thats f***ing bull s***! 100’s of us have aftermarket switch plates and most have wired them themselves... that doesn’t void your warranty! You need a new dealer! This is exactly why the extended warranty is bulls*** too... you pay hundreds of dollars for them to come back and say... “awwww that’s not covered under warranty” I was fortunate enough to see the writing on the wall when mine was still in the first year warranty phase. Anyway... tell them to shove it up their ass and buy what you want to for a switch plate!

The dealer is only part right. The only thing that warranty is void on is whatever that accessory causes to fail and the accessory itself it's not covered. All the rest of your warranty is good on everything else.

I wish that for just once @JTW would tell us how he really feels about something!


A warranty is only as good as the dealer and the company. Remember that companies spend a lot of money hiring lawyers to write their warranties and they are not based in the purchasers favor.

I agree, I was just asking... he spouted out in one of my other threads... that attitude does not fit with my personality... to each his own I guess... definitely a chip on his shoulder... going to leave this site... no time people like that... take care everyone and good luck... I thought this was supposed to be a god informative site, I guess I was wrong... takes one bad apple to ruin it all....

Don't take @JTW too seriously. He's a great guy, and just a little excitable.

This is by FAR the best site out there with the most up to date and credible info anywhere.
Hope that you don't take offense as I'm sure that he was just expressing some frustration at how the dealer was treating you and I'm on his side as far as the dealer's response. The only thing that would not be warrantied by Honda, would be anything that was messed up because of aftermarket work/equipment. We unfortunately hear all to often of poor dealers and it gets very frustrating to see fellow owners being taken to the cleaners by some unscrupulous dealer.

While many of us feel the exact same way you could tone it down a bit. This guy is new and doesnt know you. Ease up a little eh?

Yup... I’ve just tried to help the guy. I read back through my previous thread comments and I’m not sure where the butt hurt is coming from. But no worries... he can figure it out on his own.

I’m not sure how someone could take what I said personally... never was anything directed toward the OP.. I was pissed off for you. But I’ll quit “spouting” in your threads if your personality is that delicate.
No problem, elkguide said it best...no hard feelings.

LIFE IS GOOD.

Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees and if we take time to take a deep breath things are usually better in the morning. Except it's still way to cold here in the Northeast and they're predicting 12" more snow by tomorrow morning!!!! Man am I sick of that!

Not the 12” you were hoping for, huh?
