The Rule on Vehicle Electrical Warranties in India

Vehicle manufacturers can only deny a warranty claim if an aftermarket modification directly causes a specific component failure. For example, installing an audio amplifier cannot void your engine, transmission, or suspension warranty.

The single critical factor is wire cutting. When shops splice into factory wiring harnesses, they compromise electrical insulation and risk short circuits.

How We Fit Upgrades: OEM Coupler to Coupler

At Kalyani Car Jewels, we never cut, strip, or splice factory wiring looms. Every touchscreen head unit, speaker set, and ambient lighting system connects via vehicle-specific OEM couplers that plug directly into existing factory sockets.

For high-power subwoofers and amplifiers, we run an independent, shielded power line directly from the battery with an isolated inline fuse block. The car factory wiring remains untouched.

100% plug-and-play installation with zero factory wire splicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the upgrades be reversed back to factory stock?

Yes. Because every connection uses OEM socket adapters, any audio system or lighting kit can be disconnected cleanly without leaving traces on factory harnesses.

Do ambient lighting installations drain the car battery?

No. Modern LED ambient lighting kits consume minimal current (less than 1.5 amps) and connect to switched ignition power, shutting off automatically when the vehicle is locked.
