New A110 owner
Discussion
Loooong time lurker and proud new owner of an Alpine A110. 
I’m looking forwards to attending a few meets/ the curborough day and share some alpine adventures. Have already seen a few familiar names here, so I know I’m in good company.
Test drove a 23GT (loved it) a Legende (less keen) and a pure (keen, needs the exhaust though!) and ended up with a highly specced ‘22 pure (love it!) I was looking for a S, mainly for seat/ top end power reasons, but I think this is a far better car for my intended use and I may address the power at a later stage… I’m very happy so far.
A few questions;
Sound settings - I’ve seen a few people mentioning how good the focal set up is (without a sub) - I’m not sure I’ve got the best out of it yet as to my ears it doesn’t handle higher volume well? I may have been spoilt by other cars here and/or I’ve not got a great link to my phone through CarPlay- I’m new to that too, brilliant!
Alpine app - I’ve got set up on it, which has confirmed a few bits of info on the spec etc, but it is missing the service history. I’ve got a stamp in the book, but I’m guessing it needs entering digitally somewhere/ potentially by the alpine centre? The app seems quite useful, if a little incomplete, hopefully they continue to refine it. It has also alerted me to the fuel pump recall too, being an April 22 car.
Servicing - I’m planning on using my preferred alpine centre as they’ve been very helpful throughout, but can’t see anything on the costs for servicing anywhere - I assumed this would be fixed, but have seen posts that imply otherwise? I’ll get the recall done at the same time hopefully if they can provide a courtesy car so all is as it should be.
Highest mileage cars - having looked through the classifieds for the past 6-9 months, I’m amazed at how few miles most seem to do, and I can’t understand why? Keen to hear of higher miles heroes - and understand what they’ve had to keep on top of. It’s a bit soon for me to extend the warranty but I have the option, although I wonder if there is anything it’s really needed for?
Any other tips/ tricks you think are worth knowing, please let me know - I’ve done the 300page thread page to page, but this was before I collected my car, so I need to revisit it when I have a spare day!
Will probably have a few more queries, but that’ll do for the start.

I ask because it was my car….you’ll be pleased to hear that it was perfect in the time I owned it.
It is a great car, enjoy!
Thank you for speccing it so well and I will definitely enjoy in it - some adventures in planning already! It is a great car, enjoy!
You may be able to settle another query; your original plate, is it a reference to the tactical rifle? I did a little googling and that seemed apt!
