Does a automatic car starter void any part of the Hyundai warranty? I would have it installed a reputable place of course.

I have the answer from the dealership. It does not void anything at all. If there is a problem created by the starter it is not covered. But more the likley it was the installers fault and they will cover it. Thank everyone.

I have one on my 2003 Tiburon and it has not voided the warranty. Plan on putting one on my wife's new Azera soon and it doesn't have 1000 miles on it yet.
The dealer did not install any of them and I will not have them install one for me. (Most likely the same place I go would do the job for the dealer anyhow only the dealer would charge more)
( for the one who does not agree with me, the start pad is on my key ring, there is a sticker under the hood stating it is installed.... so they know it is there. It has not stopped any warranty work. For Hyundai warranty work, I have never had any problems... but they have been very clear to me on what will void any warranty.)

In 2007, we bought a brand new Hyundai Santa Fe. We were very skeptical at first, but since we have had our car, we have about 22k on it and not one problem has arose, It has been great! However, now that the Elantra is off the list (and yes, I'd be a bet reluctant to buy an Elantra as well) its between the Corolla and the Civic. I personally have not had an encounter with a Corolla but I know that they are good cars. However, I used to have a 1995 Honda Civic LX and there were absolutely NO problems with it at all - besides a stuck door lock at 98,000 - we had no problems. It made it to 130,000 miles and we sold it in 2005 due to wanting a larger car, and purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry LE (which also has been very good, at 50,000 miles now, no problems besides sometimes having soft breaks, which were fixed easily with a free adjustment by the dealer). Speaking of Hondas, my Aunt had a 1998 Honda CR-V, which they had for 180,000 miles (they towed it with a boat, and I'll admit, it could barely do it, but still, with that, it lasted) and traded it in for a Honda Pilot due to the growing size of their family. I know in the 2002 year or around that of Civics, there was this one transmission they used of which was extremely unreliable and in return, many complaints were pointed towards Honda. However, I think they fixed this with the new Honda Civics, including the 2007. To be perfectly honest, its a toss up. Pick the one that you think looks better/rides better/prices better, whichever. Both are very good cars.

That's a good question!!! I, too, have an 07 Elantra but never even thought of doing that!
You might get better results for this question if you go to
http://www.hyundaiperformance.com
and ask your question there. There are thousands of members who know literally everything about Hyundais and cars in general...I'm sure one of them could help you!! It's a great site (and it's free...no worries).
Either way, check it out!!
Oh, and just because it's not dealer installed does NOT void the warranty. It's the same for other parts you put on your car, like high performance air filters like the Uni Filter. You need to read the Moss Magnusson Act.

Yes it will void the warranty but only if Hyundai discovers that you have one. If they do find it after the work, expect to see a bill in the mail for the charges incurred. A bit risky- Hyundai is notorious for voiding the manufacturers warranty for any little "default" on the customers agreement.

Why bother? Take hyundai up on their five year warranty then after that period you are free to kill the car as you wish. You should have brought something with a shorter warranty or something older with no warranty.

Why would you want to do this. Your car has a great warranty, let Hyundai live up to their responsibility and fix it for you free of charge

Unless the auto manufacturer installed it as an OEM part, then it would void any manufacturers warranty.
