lol mate, yea thats a pretty good idea  If the HU works then wire a perm live to battery (u2u richie on what gauge wire, but i think something like 8 gauge would be fine) and pop an inline fuse (to rating of the HU) 
As for new wiring harness, try www.caraudiodirect.com and see if they have one (i believe they do). If that fails, then contact alpine support

The 4x60w units require a permanent live feed from the battery and a better ground im sure??

try and get it on warranty then or if the wiring is pretty good, then wrap it back up and send it back saying it was faulty on arrival

All your wiring should have been secure and done by the book, including the live from the battery.

just take the window all the way down, then hold the button down for about 5 seconds, and do the same when you put it back up

well hope its cool and everything mate
if it is a 4x60w version and you are using the amp on the HU, then make sure you have a perm feed from the battery ie: dont take the power from the cars ISO block, but wire up an 8gauge with an inline fuse (near battery) to the battery
If not, then it should be ok, but people still say you should wire up a perm feed anyways
