    I could not get a clear answer from my dealer but I thought I heard somewhere that the warranty for the lithium battery is longer than the nickel battery. Does anyone know for sure and where can I find it in writing?

    Thanks

    no, it's the same. it's in the warranty booklet.

    I think the only thing that's extended for the PIP is roadside assistance.

    Why do you think that is? Maybe because they dropped the spare?

    good question. i have a hard time believing it has any effect in the marketing and selling of the vehicle.

    though if i remember correctly, the entune subscription is also a year longer on the PiP. perhaps it's their way to attempt to justify the higher price?
