does anyone install after market HU for ur persona? care to post out the pics? thanks.....

i'm might wanna mod the HU.... but i'm not sure hows the looks like when after install the new HU for persona...

wait till the turbocharged cps come out la, then swap it

The persona should be a 2-din hu. In the garage sales got people selling the custom hu cover for gen2/persona. That should make the dashboard a bit narutal when installing after market hu

For a b-line owner, shouldn't worry too much, but for m-line and above owner, have to sacrifice the buttons at the steering

so btw, what type of auto tranny Persona is using? Invecs 2 from mitsubishi? cuz i saw the invecs 2 in the persona manual book....

yes invecs II=SPIII atf fluid......and hyundai elantra,naza accent all using invecsII....and some other korean cars

i wonder if anyone have the solution to some of the common persona prob such as -

metal clunking sound when turning on uneven ground

rattling sound in the air con

ignition key hole light? is it there?

my persona also have the problem that u mention . this morning just went to SC to replace the middle aircond windows (dont know what to call it - the inner Black color plastic that we can pull left or right 1). after replace it , no more cound come out . bout the metal clunking sound , since i got my car till now the SC still cannot find out the problem , SAD ! bout the key hole light , no idea... coz mine one also have no light there...

btw, on B-Line model does it have the sealbelt indicator if the seatbelt is not buckled? because when i didnt use seatbelt there is no blinking seat belt indicator....

1) Are your rear seat the split/foldable type? If they are, the sound is most likely caused by the locking mechanism (specifically the striker) of the foldable rear seat back. The seat lock striker is similar to the door lock striker found at the centre pillar & rear quarter panel of all 4 door saloon cars which hooks on the door lock when you close the doors. You just need to use a bit of electrical tape( those for insulating wires) to insulate the seat back striker & the sound will be eliminated. That's what I did on my Persona. First, I thought the sound was from the suspension but no it is cause by the locking mechanism of the rear seat back when the car moves & vibrate. Remember not to use too much tape or else you won't be ale to fold the rear seat back to its original position. If your rear seats are not the type stated above. My guess is as good as yours.

2) Does the sound from the air-con occur all the the time or only when you turn on the a/c & gone later. Is it some sort of a hissing sound. If it is, it is the normal sound emanating from the expansion valve. I suggest you increase the volumn of the radio & enjoy the coolness i.e if the a/c is still cold. My month old Persona can be excruciatingly cold even at the almost lowest temperature.


3)Have not explore the possibility of lighting up the ignition key hole light yet. Not really a priority.

Lastly, please don't expect too much from a 50K plus car. Even a 78K E-spec (lowest) VIOS has it fair share of problems. To me, IMO, as an average Joe, any car below 70K is a cheap car. And the Persona as a whole offers cheap solutions.

yup, mine first batch, non iafm cps vim whtsoever..

60k mileage already..

in terms of fc, hi way driving i can get around 430-450 km full tank, n i guess its good for auto tho... no mod whtsoever, juz install vs+gw only..

but in town, fuel sucker, 350km full tank also hard to reach...

caltex ron95 and mobil 1 fully-syn still dont have really improvement on FC. but lighter acceleration,quieter and smoother engine sound..but caltex ron97 feel so underpower and no pickup...
wow...delphi??..I just stick to proton atf fluid only and change every 20k km.....i dare not use other brand since grading will be different...

i prefer the non-seatbelt alarm version as it is

Problems and problems...but what the hack, for a complete car with RM60k and below...bear with it la...

1. The front metal clunking sound when turning on uneven ground, be it left or right - not solved.

2. The rattling sound at the air-cond blower - "glak...glak..." sound, not solved.

3. The ignition key hole light? YES, it is there - but no light.

4. The seatbelt warning indicator - not functioning, but hope it is, with a silent one.

5. FC? Fuiyoh...town-driving sucks, like water-drinking only...less than 320km full tank. But for Hi-way, fuiyoh again...about 450km full tank - SHELL supersavers la...

Other than that, I my PERSONA SE...!!!
