If it makes any of you in the Frozen North feel any better, it's supposed to get down to the high 30's inland, and the low 40's on the coast tonight.
For us - yes we are weather weenies - that is freaking COLD. My dachshunds have to be all but tossed outside to do their business (ie crap & pee).
However, we are prepared - we have over-heated, bikini-babe-staffed Jacuzzis to prevent human weenie shrinkage.

The dealership (Champion Porsche in Pompano) called - "sorry, but the stereo isn't covered under warranty. Want an estimate for a new one?"
23,000 miles on the car - CPO'ed - still under factory warranty.
Does that blow or what?

Can someone suggest who at Porsche NA Porschedog should call? I think he's getting screwed here. My radio and CD changer were completely covered under factory warrantee! Can't see why yours isn't.

I think the main question is his bumper to bumper still in effect if his car is a 2003 then it most likely is not. The CPO warranty covers less and may not cover the radio but I would have to read up on their coverage to be sure. I think it would not hurt to call and ask another dealership.

Not to beat a dead horse but after reading their website see link below.

It does not list the radio as a covered item which sucks but you never know some dealers are nicer then others.

This thread is very timely. My radio worked fine this morning when leaving the house garage for work. It was parked in the parking deck all day. I tried to turn it on coming home and it would power up (show "porsche" in the display) but would do anything else (28 F today). My first thought was the cold got to it!

I think my factory warranty IS still in effect. I'm going to let the WereWife place a call to the stealership. May God have mercy on their worthless souls...
This just underscores the fact that we buy these cars in Spite Of the dealers, not because of them. They know we'll come back for more no matter how badly they treat us.

Porschedog - did your car originally sell after the 2004 models came out? That is the only way it could still be under the original 4/50,000 warranty. My warranty expires in about 45 days.

Leaving my "warm" garage this morning the radio worked fine. Let's see how it does when I leave tonight after it has been sitting out in the cold all day!
