Compustar warranty for car audio & electronics
The short version
Compustar doesn't cover everything, but keeps control module and antenna and pro remote (registered) covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 16 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Compustar's published warranty, checked October 2026.
