Description: Electronic accessories may include lighting, entertainment system upgrades, communications equipment, GPS, security systems, and more.       

Purpose: Electronic accessories add features, comfort, convenience and safety. They may replace, supplement or upgrade already installed electronic equipment.   

Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: If installing the accessories yourself, take the time to read the manufacturer’s directions and follow them completely. You should also consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for caution and guidance on installing accessories. In many cases, you may have to disconnect the battery’s negative (ground) cable as a precaution. Be aware that many cars may need to “re-learn” certain electronic engine control habits, like idle speed. Disconnecting the battery may also erase the memory of radios and other creature comforts like memory mirrors and seats. If you’re unsure about any aspect of installing electronic accessories, have the installation performed by a qualified installation technician.
