Yes, John at Alpine was the first person I called. His reply, sorry the warranty is 12 months unlimited miles from Alpine. Should have saved the dime. Anyway, Alpine just sends them to Magnuson for any warranty claims or repairs. By going straight to Magnuson, it saved me probably 2 weeks with not having to wait for Alpine to do anything about it. I guess the bottom line is "if you want to play hard, you have to pay hard" Sh*t happens sometimes.
