Question Is Sound System Covered Under Warranty?

Hey Guys, I have an '06 IS350 that I bought Certified Used, so it's got some type of 3 yr warranty. I have the Mark Levinson Sound System in mine (luxury package) and the sub has been going in and out for the past few weeks. Like last week I had no bass in my car! Then today it came on but it sounds a little scratchy at times; Would this be covered under warranty? What could be the problem?

Here's a hint.

Sound system is so dope! But ML sub sucks. People blow em like 4-5 times and keep getting the same sub.

I had mine ripped out after I blew it and installed a new sub. Works perfect now.

Just saying

I believe so. Doesn't hurt to give them a call and ask.

If it's a Lexus Certified Pre-Owned then what is covered and excluded is listed here:

http://www.lexus.com/cpo/overview/warranty.html

I don't see audio in the excluded list, it might fall under "accessories and controls" which is included.

^ Yup, many people have had the ML sub replaced. Just go aftermarket.
