Well, the cables must come from somewhere; the factory should be able to replace it under warranty and claim the manufacturer. No? Unless of course the use, design & construction in the car, was MMC's fault. It looks really cheap to call it wear and tear after just a couple of months. Wonder what grandpa, H.F.S., would think.
