They wont void your warranty, but they might reverse engineer it and produce one themselves...

I think that Thomas should patent these quickly!

 

I can see it now, in about 4 weeks Pioneer has "Upgrade Knobs" on their website for $49.95 each!!!!

Oh yeah I can see it too only it's plastic and has "made in CHINA" on the inside.

and requires two or more updates to be 'somewhat' comparable

I suggested this about a month ago. Tom get on that patenting lol

 

However even if Pioneer did make one and it was out of plastic, Tom can still sell his because:

 

a) There's pages of proof that e made them before Pioneer did

B) His would be made out of real metal as opposed to Pioneer's crappy plastic China ones.

 

Mazda makes a Mazdaspeed body kit for the RX-8, front bumper costs $1500. Stores on eBay have the same exact thing for cheaper with a different name and there's been no conflict.

Yeah it's kinda funny, the knob on my D3 (which is totally different) is starting to peel the fake chrome off from normal use. What a joke :?
