Vantrue warranty for car audio & electronics
The short version
Vantrue doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole product (extended) and whole product covered to 18 months. 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 Vantrue's published warranty, checked October 2026.
