However, there are also some opinions that car owners should consider and ask the car manufacturer before adding the interior. “I think that before doing it, I also advise some brands, instead of installing it outside, the owner can buy accessories to bring into the installation company and still be warranted. Most of the electric damage is due to the addition of toys (electrical parts) without reference to the design diagram of the circuit according to the vehicle “- said Mr. Ngo Quynh, a car owner.

For large interiors, more skilled engineers are likely to make no impact. “Ordinary cars are not a problem, but when buying a car, the sales staff will also advise customers” – Mr. Chien said. According to Mr. Chien, related to the screen, lights, sound, the use of electric wires is likely to affect. It’s okay to have parts like flooring, leather or glazed. Because in the process of doing, there are errors that the technicians do not notice, affecting the safety of the vehicle, this problem cannot be confirmed.
