PC's are easy to work inside. Everyone knows how they go together, and they are designed so that common mistakes do not - usually - cause serious damage. This is not the case with the car player. The metalwork is easy to assemble and dissassemble when you've done it twenty times, but the first few times it's easy to bend things, snap things, and cause damage which you may not even notice at first. There are connectors without locating lugs which will cause serious damage should you offset them upon reconnection.

That's why removing the lid invalidates your warranty. If you choose to do so - hopefully having read some of the excellent advice that has been posted to this BBS - then it's your call, and it's at your risk.
