Understand there is a blind spot detection BSD optional feature for K3. Any K3 owner installed?

Was quoted extra $1k to install. In the end, bought a pair of wide angle mirror cost only $25 from Ebay.

Any recommendations? Not sure about driving new car to Msia ð

Haha, no idea where, but I'm quite sure it will be way cheaper over there if you don't mind going in. Ya, depends on individual. Some people swear by not going in. Some people go in every other week.

I got the Blackvue front and back as per of the package. No, it doesn't come with Cellink battery. 

It is not recommended to connect to the car battery for parking mode and will void the Battery warranty according to the SE.

I am using the Cellink battery which i bought at the Car show few month back. It cost me $280 include install.

Maybe you can wait for another car show or IT show to see if there is any promo price.

 

I just check the Cellink battery B6 is 318  and B3 is 218 with current blackvue national day offer , that does not include installation, with installation an additional 50 bucks

 

Can you share which one you got?

Collected my car yesterday afternoon @ Pandan and directly drive into JB for meguairs waxing + removing the new car smell which makes me giddy + leather conditioning = RM250.

 

Top-up petrol + makan + massage = RM200.

 

Shiok.....

This car compared to my previous Forte is really very good.

 

Handling + pickup + insulation is decent enough for NSHW with original Nexen Tires.

 

Audio is abit weak, no bass unlike my previous Forte, will be upgrading the speakers very soon.

Are you using the Motrex HU? If yes, try adjusting the EQ...it makes alot of different.

If want better sound quality, change the speaker but dont change to very high wattages type cost no Amps to power it.

 

When mine is one week old, I drove up to Genting Highland already. In fact, it good for the car too.

How can driving the car long distance to Genting during running in period be good for it?

 

What max speed you travelled on NSH?

Unfortunately mine is the stock HU.. not planning on changing the HU for now but i might do something about the speakers..

Not too sure if its standard.

 

For me, booked the car on 10 june, coe secured on 21 june, made full payment on 29 june, car registered on 7 june.

 

I collected the car on 10 june, which is exactly 1 month from date of booking.

 

What about the others?

Same for me..about 1 month after booking in end June. Full payment done in mid July, registered yesterday and collecting tomorrow! I think depends on your SE as well..

 

Read earlier in the thread that there is a whatsapp group..can join through the FB group but I am still pending my joining request...any bro can help get me added to the FB group and/or the whatsapp group?

According to the manual, gotta maintain between 2k to 4k rpm while driving and vary your speed during breaking-in the engine.

 

Gotta exercise discretion maybe.. dont whack all the way perhaps

I did mine at Gloomers Lab , price is also 600 to 800 range, I think for PPS this is the basic price most places, anything less than 500 think hard to be good unless u really know the detailer or hv pretty good lobang

 

I also did at Groomers Lab

Any lobang or method to rectify door dings?

U mean dents on the door? I did once 6 mths ago , cost me 75 buxs for 3 dents. Rendall from Groomers got the guy in and did for a few cars and this same guy did for me as well at C&C when they dented my door during servicing. But seriously $75 is neither cheap nor expensive but I dun bother now my car is 1 y.o and after 6 mths there are 4 more new dents :TT_TT: sien liao
