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.
