Warranty and Return Information

Limited One-Year Warranty

All products are genuine and authentic. We buy through the original manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors and other established lines of distribution within the car stereo industry and pass the savings on to you. Please read our policy prior to ordering as our policy may be different than that of other online retailers.

All products include a manufacturer warranty card- this card warrants the product for one year from date of purchase. We want to make sure that the part you order is the part you need, and for that reason we list Model/Year and radio requirements for the part to work. Vehicle Model/Year or radios that do not meet the requirements are excluded because the particular part will not work. Ordering parts without first checking your unique application may render the product incompatible and to avoid such situations we ask you order only if the requirements are met-- Due to the number of radios on the market today, it is impossible for us to know their individual features/connectors and you are required to remove the radio to verify the plugs/ connectors, or verify certain buttons on the faceplate. We can help, let us work for you. Please email us as much information about your car, radio or application so that we can make the best recommendation based on your individual situation. The results of our research will be done in an expedited manner and free of charge.

Defective returns are for exchange only. No refunds, credits. If the original purchase can't be replaced (discontinued, backorder etc), we reserve the right to substitute this part with a suitable part of higher or equal value. Any claims for missing parts must be made within 7 days, no claims will be accepted after 7 days of shipping your merchandise.

We ask you take the time to read the information carefully and check that your radio and/or vehicle meets the requirements for the product to work. Those requirements include certain buttons on the radio face, certain pin count on the radio connector (a visual inspection of the back of the radio may be required) especially if you drive a domestic model (FORD, GM, CHRYSLER). It is important to check the radio because they are instances in which the original radio has been changed and our compatibility list will not apply. If for some reason you ordered the wrong part, (not based on our description or radio requirements) you may return the part (s) at your expense and must agree to purchase the correct part from us subject to a 20% restocking fee..

Returns due to wrong description: If an item list your vehicle model and year, the radio in your car must also meet the requirements set forth on the product description [indicators such as buttons, or number of pin on the radio connectors must be met for the product to work in addition to the vehicles make/year/model.] If you have verified this info and the product you purchased still does not work/fit you may exchange the part for a working part.
