If the aftermarket part actually caused an issue you would be right, if it didnt you would be wrong, as I said...0.0 times in 15 years of my business the aftermarket part has caused a warranty issue.
it is a scare tactic that dealers use to boost their sales of their accessories and service. |
You are being very simplistic.
Since the radio on a BMW (and Audi/VW etc) is an integral part of the diagnostic system, any modification can cause warranty woes.
The MM act does not apply to such modifications.
