**FRIDAY EVENING UPDATE**

After a dozen+ telephone conversations todaywith Alpine, Isuzu and the dealer, this is where I stand:

Rosie at Isuzu customer service: "The factory rep has been notified. Your request is denied because the vehicle has been modified." When I asked her if a K&N filter would do the same, she strongly agreed. At first I thought she was joking, but she was as serious as a cerebral infarct.

Of course I'm not going to leave it at that, but that's it for this week. I and Philip from Alpine will be chatting with the factory rep next week. If you have the S/C but have never received a warranty registration card, please speak up!
