Of course they should last longer than 3.5 years, but yours could be a one-off. You have to understand that things do go wrong with our cars; no car is 100 per cent bulletproof. The main issue I would have in your case is that no one seems to be able to find the cause of the problem and fix it.
There can be issues with things like AM radio reception with imported cars coming from countries where AM radio is not as widely used as it is here. I would agree that Mitsubishi should be responsible for providing a fix for your car, and we have had other companies do similar things with the radios in their cars in the past, but by having the car modified yourself you won't get Mitsubishi to take any interest in your situation. It is wiser to press the company for a fix.

It won't affect your comprehensive insurance, but it would affect your new-car warranty. It's a modification to the car, so anything that is affected by that modification wouldn't be covered by the warranty.
