probably a stupid? but please answer

if i replace the factory headunit will it void my warranty ?

It will void the warranty on the headunit -
nothing else unless your install damages something else.

The only stupid question is the question that's never asked.

But yeah, they'd have to prove that the failure was caused by the headunit. It will not void your entire warranty. Like let's say a speaker was blown due to the increased power of the headunit. That most likely won't be covered. But if your window regulator breaks, they'd still have to fix it.

What was that act called? Moss-Magnuson or something? Basically, it's supposed to protect the consumer from dealers denying repairs due to unrelated modifications - like Marlon said, if your window regulator goes out, they'd have to prove that the stereo install was at fault.

Fixed it for you.

Magnuson-Moss was the one.

While on the subject of new head units... Do all libertys have premium sound systems??? My 04 has 6 speakers like most. Right? Now if i replace the head unit do i need to do anything else? Is there an amp that needs to be by passed? Do i need to install after market speakers??? My new unit sounds pretty sweet now. Any help or direction to the right thread (that i can't find) would be great.

Soooo, did you already replace it or not? You phrased it two different ways to lead us to believe you have and have not replaced it.

Every liberty is different. If you have a limited liberty then its likely you have the infinity system. If you do you must hook up the pre-amp wire to the new head unit so it turns on the amps which are mounted on the front speakers. If you replace those you must put in a 4 channel amp since those amps control all the speakers and you also need some components if you want to keep the tweeters in the dash..

Ahh. Sorry about that. I do not have the Limited KJ. Yes the new head unit is in. All speakers are working. Dash included.
