just received my H-line persona 2 weeks ago.......found out that the sound for the reverse is barely audible from inside the car.....all personas have this problem or just mine? Can I increase the sound levels so that i can actually hear the beeps of the reverse sensor? Thanks

Haha hey regarding the soft  reverse sensor beep, you can try to flat fold your rear seats and you'll hear very loud beeps! Other than seating passengers, the rear seats also absorb and insulate sound, so you'll hear very very soft beeps because the beeping speaker is placed in the boot area. Once you fold your rear seats, you'll experience lots of noise intrusion into the cabin also

Do pray hard you get a good one without much problems.

Nope, tried that.

Here's my hunch for the rattling sound.

There is a loose object inside the blower casing, perhaps a washer? nut? plastic thingy?

Whatever it is, when the blower fan turns the fan blades can and will rub agaist the loose object causing the rattling sound.

However sometimes either the moving air or one of the blades dislodge the loose object.  The object makes a loud "CLACK" sound as it strikes the casing wall.  There it lodges against another crevice.  As you drive, the car movement sometimes also can dislodge the object and if the fan blades strike the object it causes the annoying rattling sound again.

The rattling and CLACK sound is totally random and caused by both the blades as well as car movements.  The rattling was already there when I collected my car from the dealer.  Didn;t think much of it at that time.

So far I have not opened the casing at Proton SCammer but one of these days I will get to the bottom of this.

Has anyone tried go there to get the blower casing open?

Got the car back yesterday

This was my original problems:

1.  Famous Persona klunking noise
2.  Famous aircon rattling noise
3.  Radio buttons on steering gone haywire
4.  New tick tick sound (from steering column perhaps?)

Here are the results after a few hours of test drivings

1.  99% settled.  Extremely minor (or was it my imagination?) klunking noise while cornering
2.  90% setlled.  The rattling till today cannot hear but the annoying click still there though less frequent
3.  100% settled.  Back to normal.  Dunno when it will fail again.
4.  0% settled.  Tick tick tick tick as usual.  Can't seem to find the blardy source!

ya hopefully can get my car soon and they promise that i can get my car at least by early of december..
