I would think it would depend on how deeply you "integrate" them with 
the car's systems.  Most aftermarket GPS units stick to your dash or 
wind****eld and plug into the cigarette lighter - no warranty issues 
there.  Most backup cams I've seen are wireless as well, and only need a 
power tie in - I wouldn't expect that to cause a problem, but you can 
check with the dealer.
