    CCF Editing vs Warranty

    On the topic of warranties, would editing the CCF void your warranty?

    My 2018MY came without the TPMS (daft I know) so that's the reason for asking. LR seems to have a "no modifications once out of the factory" policy. Dealer out of the door simply said no to this being fitted aftermarket.

    Cheers

    If a dealer did the CCF updates that would be ok, but if you somehow managed to with another tool and it buggered up the CCF then I can see that it wouldn't be covered under warranty.

    Any decent electrician should be able to do a trailer brake controller. The remote head one which just has a twist dial on the dash, I think made by Redarc, seems popular.

    The dealer probably just wanted the job himself.

    You all speak as if this is a LR thing.

    Any car manufacturer looks at modifications and assess if they are a valid reason to void warranty.
    Any device, alteration or addition should compliment the vehicle, not be detrimental - if you fit something that is detrimental then of course warranty would come into question.

    If a battery system is correctly fitted it will give no cause for warranty claim - unless it impacts the charging system detrimentally - Traxide units dont cause negative effects for example.

    Brake controllers are the same - if fitted in accordance to manufacturers recommendations - in this case using the fitted plug - and wired and working correctly - no problem.

    Tyre diameter increases, power tunes etc would all draw attention.

    Modifying the CCF - as long as a back up is made - will either work or not, turning on a function that isnt fitted could make it misbehave - just return the setting to original.

    Agree, basically they would have to show your addition caused the failure directly or indirectly to not pay a claim.

    I haven't seen much if any evidence on this forum of LR not coming to the party on reasonably modded vehicles.
