Just for those that don’t know, you cannot void a warranty in this way in the USA, it’s illegal. I hate to link Reddit here but I’m tired and this was the first result and it words it well.

You can't void the warranty for the full vehicle, but if the infotainment system has an issue they can refuse to do a warranty repair.

Now to the other end of the spectrum: Can it run Crysis? (The real question being how long 'til it catches fire?)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago

First, you see if the device has the capacity to run Doom. Then you see if it has the power to run Crysis.

Man, I really should look into hacking my kona's infotainment center.
