Alpine and Warranty
I bought an Alpine CDA-7894 head unit today, along with an extended warranty. The warranty is for 5 years, should anything go wrong with the head unit it will be replaced by Alpine's current model. The price wasn't too bad for the extra coverage, but now I'm left wondering if it was a waste of money. Seeing that the deck hasn't been delivered, I could get my money back for the warranty. I would like some opinions and advice from Alpine owners on why I should or shouldn't keep it.

well, decks can sometimes be tempermental, and if you have one w/motorized faceplate, I think you made a good investment by getting the warranty. Not that I think it's gonna break on you, but just in case it does, you'll be covered:thumbup: You never know man, sh*t happens

It does have a motorized faceplate. The worst thing I could imagine is returning the warranty and needing it one day. As for 5 years, I agree it's kinda long. But they only have one option, and that's a 4 year extension to the 1 year manufacturer's warranty. What's great is, when I sell the deck the warranty transfers with it. I will probably keep the thing a couple of years, I think with a 3 year warranty I shouldn't have a problem selling it. Some people on a car audio board I frequent have suggested I fry the deck after a some time and get a new one, hehehehe.
I've decided to hang on to the warranty.
