Out Navi unit also went out, did the dealer spring for that or did you send it to Alpine (or is it Pioneer)?

Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs are your next expense.
Wheel bearings out- road noise and little floor vibration. Most noticeable around 40mph.
You can send your dvd unit to Alpine in Torrance, CA.

Just curious, how could one tell if the wheel bearings are going out? Steering vibrations?

Generally you'll hear loud humming sounds throughout your cabin as you drive. You can also pinpoint which side it is if you take a turn hard to get pressure off one side of wheel. Example, if you jerk/steer hard to left (taking pressure off left wheel) while driving..say..30mph or so...and sound temporarily goes away then your bad bearing is on your left. Another is putting it up on lift and spin the wheel. You'll hear grinding sound if it's bad. While spinning wheel you can also put fingers on the suspension spring to feel for a vibration.

please test at your own risk!

Luckily the dealer did the timing belt before the car was listed so we bought it with essentially zero miles on the TB.

Planning on sending it out to Alpine in the future.

I am assuming they showed proof of when they changed the timing belt.

Oh yes, I have the paper work. Plus this was a legitimate dealer in Florida (Courtesy Acura) and my friend works as a technician there.
