the mp3 FM adaptor i find its ok..i was using it before i decide to change HU. But the cars around our car tune to the same frequency can clearly hear wad songs we are listening to.

Bro, yours is 2.0l... different la..

Highest speed I ever achieved on my 1.6l is 185kph and that was achieved when I was going on a gradual down slope

[Johnson]

but fuel burn damn fast if going at that speed loh..tyres also

[Atlantis80]

Yeah.. but the feeling is priceless!

[En0203]

how u know? have u tried before? i heard fuel cut will happen at 210 km/h, is that true?

[En0203]

not bad what, good songs must share one

[Johnson]

tried on NSH but cannot go byond 210km/hr...no leh..no fuel cut leh

[Johnson]

haha i play those oh piang songs woh

[Ronnchee]

Yap, feeling is priceless, but not for the faint hearted.

[Ronnchee]

for (3) some says it's quite ok but some says it sucks... so i believe the mp3 adaptor quality matters too

 

i have not tried any of those though.. 6 cds is more than 6 hrs.. can reach penang from jb already

 

i nv timed the timing from 140 km/h to 180 km/h before, but i think 8 to 10 secs quite ok mar, we are not driving any performance ride, just a heavy small sedan, should be contended with it already

 

but i know it takes quite some time to reach 200 km/h after 180 km/h... and i never had a chance to try my ride's top speed of 210 km/h before, coz i always meet slow traffic after 200 km/h. heard speed limiter will cut in at 210 km/h on my ride

I bought the mp3 adaptor from Carrfour, aounnd $65 if I can remember correctly. Quality really cannot make it.

 

Bro, yours is 2litre ya ?? Actually it didn't really bother me that it took 8/10 sec to reach 180km/h. Afterall, how often we travel at that speed. One point I must hightlight, at 180km/h, the ride was still very stable, wind noise very minimal too. In fact the engine didnt "roar" as i expect. Reckon the mod helped !!

[Ronnchee]

I know engine cut, is there also fuel cut ??

 

Pivot speed meter should overcome this probelm ??

[Johnson]

i also dunno leh..bro like u said dunno got how many chances to travel at that speed. Better dun waste money.

You can hook up your stock HU with audiolink, a cable that allows you to connect your MP3 player (be it iPod or otherwise). If you connect your iPod via the audiolink, you can control the tracks via the steering wheel controls as well.

 

 

oh okie which means Ipod is still the way to go....

i prefer not to do anything with the stock hu...it looks cool IMHO

so how much will the cable cost me bro...

[Nastrix]

Hi there,

 

welcome to the zoom zoom family

 

to play mp3, u can either

1) change the stock HU to MP3-capable one

2) install the aux input to allow your ipoh/handphone/mp3 player to connect to ur HU

3) get those special mp3 radio frequency converter which reads the mp3 from ur thumbdrive (u have to plug ur thumbdrive there) and convert it to radio frequency and u can listen it by tunning into the specific channel just like how u listen to radio

 

hope this helps

 

thanks bro

so sayang to change to stock hu...it think ipod is the only way to go

[Nastrix]

alrite bro i will definitely take it slow its just that i'm too anxiuos to know alot abt MZ3....

 

probably i will send my car for PPS to withold the paint...and put it sound clad. this will be my first move..whats ur opinion bros

[Nastrix]

alamak bro so sori to hear that... how cud that happen...some people are born as****e

 

did u manage to send it for repaint or something like that...

[Johnson]

for me, first day get car first thing to change is the rims. Stock rims make ur car looks "stock".

[Nastrix]
