If Free if opt for front cam & solar film.

But I ask for customised floor mat and upgrade to front & black cam plus solar film.

There's a list of item to choose but I think these are important stuff.

Point 6, referrer and referee must be member dont make much sense

Good, what is the link for download the androit software.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/android-auto-2-1-7049-release/#downloads

 

Chose arm 64 should be able to work as it can downgrade to 32 bit.

 

Download AA apk to PC or directly to your phone. Install the apk and you will have a message that the source of the apk is not trusted or some warning message. Ignore the warning message and continue with installation.

 

Once installed, you will see the AA app's short cut. Follow through with the set up till the connect to car part. 

 

Hook a USB cable to the phone and car and activate AA on your phone to connect to the car's system. Everything is plug and play.

 

You do not need to root or jail break your phone.

So you've tried and it works? That's a good news. I am also an android user.

Went to see them again, and finally decided to get the 1.6 version.
Difference: 2.0 and 1.6 only performance difference due to engine's capacity, body kits and the gear shifters(available on 2.0 and not 1.6). No choice already, my current car already in hospital and left up to May 2017.

Pretty good value among the rest, IMO after some comparisons and considerations for the following makes:
1) Mitsubishi Lancer/Attriage - Last gen ago overalls, Jap alike interiors
1.1) Exterior: 2.5/5
1.2) Interior: 2/5
1.3) Engine: -IDK- (never test drove)
1.4) Drive: -IDK-

2) Toyota Altis - Balanced 1/2 gen ago overalls, Jap alike interiors
2.1) Exterior: 4/5 (Conservatively modern look, have wow factor comparing to its previous model) 
2.2) Interior: 3/5 (Typical Toyota style with some gadgetry upgrades, dashboard a little too high, have the "hindering" field of view, esp when objects are closer feeling, maybe I'm just not used to higher dashboards)
2.3) Engine: 3/5 (Very balanced gear ratio)
2.4) Drive: 3/5 (Comfy very typical Jap car driving feel. May not be too comfortable for long distance driving)

3) Mazda 3 - Best looking exterior award with Euro alike interiors, worrying engine response [to get out of dangerous or nasty situations, reacts after 0.5 - 1s after squeezing the paddle] and able to feel the roll when engaging a sharper turn in faster speeds)
3.1) Exterior: 5/5 (Wow... and Wow! They've definitely done something right in this department)
3.2) Interior: 3.5/5 (Better than Altis good touch on the additional display at the driver seat, innovative)
3.3) Engine: 2/5 (Under powered and slow response)
3.4) Drive: 2/5 (Felt unsafe when it comes to sharper turns with speed and the need for emergency power to get out of situations, cross between Jap and Euro car driving feel)

4) Kia K3 - Balanced 1/2 gen ago overalls, Euro alike interiors (Best tech among these, but, lower end than Impreza)
4.1) Exterior: 3.5/5 (Front design have mixed reviews among my friends, either u like or don't like. Loved the back, esp the not blinding break lights)
4.2) Interior: 3.5/5 (The best among all, ventilated seats (only KIA has for this range), more gadgets among these)
4.3) Engine: 3/5 (More balanced similar to the Altis but, feels that Altis is just slightly more powerful)
4.4) Drive: 3/5 (Comfy very typical Jap and a little Euro car driving feel. May be more comfortable for long distance driving compared to Altis)

5) Chev Cruze
5.1) Exterior: 3.5/5 (Nice overall masculine look)
5.2) Interior: 2.5/5 (A little more plastic feel, feels a little last gen too)
5.3) Engine: -IDK-
5.4) Drive: -IDK-

6) WV Jetta
6.1) Exterior: 3/5 (Just a little modernization from its previous model, still nice, but no Wow factor)
6.2) Interior: 2.5/5 (Feels last gen ago, but, knowing WV already a very good jump)
6.3) Engine: 3.5/5 (Powerful turbo engine, worring gearbox and mechanics issue, bursts holes in your pocket the size of f**king Jupiter)
6.4) Drive: 4/5 (Amazing, solid feel entering and exiting tighter turns. Fast response upon pedal squeeze, feels like manual car response, just a slight bit slower. I'm driving a manual car now)

7) Honda Civic
7.1) Exterior: 4.5/5 (Very good looking, especially the break lights, out of conventional, done it right too)
7.2) Interior: 2.5/5 (Current gen gadgets with left side blind spot detector)
7.3) Engine: -IDK-
7.4) Drive: -IDK-

8) Subaru Impreza Feb 2017
8.1) Exterior: 4/5 (Big design restyle since it's last version, IMO better looking than Altis and KIA)
8.2) Interior: 5/5 (Better than current gen gadgets with both side side blind spot detector, double screen infotainment system, tyre pressure gauge)
8.3) Engine: 4/5 (IMO, good balance between power and comfort when you need it. Of course, not as powerful as Jetta.
8.4) Drive: 4.5/5 (Jap car but, drive feels like Euro car. SImilar to Jetta feel)

IMO, I'm a light footer so, the current Feb 2017 Impreza with more focused gear ratio towards the low and highs is a lil too powerful for me.

Was offered $97,800 and comes with the following:

1. Warranty

1.1 Mechanical parts, 5 years, Example, gear box and engine

1.2 Electrical parts, 2 years, Example, infotainment systems, etc.

1.3 General T&C applies, Example, excludes wear and tear

 

2. Accessories

2.1 Solar films, and also darker at the back side of the car
 

2.2 Mats (which I courteously declined, easily get a set from Malaysia cheaply. And I do Synthetic Grasses, I'll customer cut and put synthetic grass as car mats for my cars. Really nice and refreshing to see some greens in the car. Even though, it's actually fake. Haha..)
 

2.3 Front Cam (which I courteously declined as well. Value of approx. SGD 200 ++, could easily be done outside and not too complex to do. Anyway, previously bought a car mirror set equipped with front cam behind the mirror and back cam from China and yet to use.)

2.4 Swapped 2.2 & 2.3 for the following as I feel, it's safer to be done as Subaru in case 3rd party workshops did a bad job:

2.4.1 Auto car lock + beeps when you lock and unlock your car worth $300 ++ (Please be more discrete about this as this is a bro, bro arrangement with him and I'm not supposed to say out that openly.)

2.5 Additional item bought with the "Duo Points" after purchasing the car

2.5.1 Collapsible side mirrors as you turn of the car and start the car.

3. Need to get from Subaru to enjoy above price

3.1 Loan @ 70%, 7 years
3.2 Insurance (NCD + 5% rebates provided)
3.3 Non-guaranteed COE Bidding, 8 times.

4 Delivery/Lead-time
4.1 Only arrive Singapore around Mid March 2017 and possible to get your hands on the wheels by end March/early April due to clearances.
4.2 If COE bidding bo dio, than have to wait longer.

The audio system Subaru is better than the rest too.
However, I'm quite particular(can say I'm an audiophile) about music as it helps me to distress.
Hopefully, able to get my active subwoofer to work in this car. Will test out Ah Meng found in this forum and revert if there's any thing.

Hope the above helps!

P.S. After writing, I think I can be a car reviewer leh! HAHA!
