shop a bit online & you'll find deals for pdx-5. i got mine for less than $400. new... not refurbished. it comes w/ manufacturer's warranty.

unfornately the prius does pickup a lot of road noise. dynamat helps a bit.

Yeah, I've seen those deals. I checked with Alpine customer service and they verified that if not purchased from an authorized dealer the warranty would NOT be recognized when making a claim. Authorized dealers all charge $600. I might try woofersetc tho, since they seem to stand by their own 1 year warranty.
