FB KM replied me they have no alarm system offer by Naza yet.

KIA MALAYSIA commented on your wall post:

"I've checked with Product Planning and Customer Service. There is no such alarm offered by Naza Kia. If you fit anything that modifies or alters the electrical system, and if there are faults in the system, the manufacturer cannot repair or attempt a repair under warranty. Please be careful."

standard clause.. la...
not too worry.. many addons alarm already in market for forte... so you should be able to reuse your control..

then thats leave us speechless! KIA.. the power to surprise!!
coz the SA that giving the false information.. they should educate their SA before any future car release!!!!

Just to share with you all, i called the careline yesterday to complain that my SA is going to drive my car all the way from Sir Hartamas to Penang Island and yesterday afternoon the careline called and told me that she will only be able to get back to me on today morning. Surprisingly, early this morning (9AM+) i got an update from the careline that my Forte will be sent by trailer next week

How i wish that the services that the Sales Branch are providing are as good as the careline.

BTW, regarding the RM150 AP inspection fees, the careline will get back to me soon and i will update you all.

The best alarm guys I've seen is Cobra aka CSE Cobra. They use Italian made stuff and are Thatcham compliant. They also study the car's system before creating something. Honda, Ford and Toyota used to use them.

bro burger.. in SG, can they integrate the alarm system with forte remote? either key remote or keyless remote?

Added on December 15, 2009, 12:12 pmlots of incompetent SA that ruined KIA image. for rm150 AP fees, dont bother them. I also never pay single cents for AP inspection.
the only thing is they might drive the car to JPJ for the checking

Dude check the www.cobra.com.my website under "Solutions with Vehicle Original Remote Control". Also, DO NOT use their ULTRASONIC SENSORS for interior movement detection. These involve tearing off your A pillar plastics. Horrible.

Get the "Hyperfrequency Module for Interior Volumetric Protection". However Cobra must really study the Forte before applying this. Not sure if it will affect your warranty or not.

Just got myself re-poison again with fortelover's ride met your hubby @ USJ

my SA just called me, there is no more titanium silver and bright silver. I need to wait until after CNY only got car.....
now only leave black for me to choose

same case as me...u want to grab or wait???if wait might got CKD unit

Get it on JAN lo, CBU's quality is so much diff with CKD 1. Dun regret later...

its a matter of time before..msia naza become region distributor..lo.. haa..
so.. better grab now... forte looks good in any color other then the gold one to me..haaa..

As I know diff between CKD1 and CBU is just the logo/emblem.

he told me will be CBU unit also for the 2nd batch.
I think I will wait for it. Since my existing car not trade in yet, i still have car to use

Please take note that your trade in price might be lower next year cos your car will be one year older as at 1-Jan-10.

Just call SA again, he said FEB batch is also CBU due to the late delivery only.

Know will be a bit lower, some of them (Honda SA) told me will not different too much due to the actually already took next year rate.

No no no, for CBU Forte..NAZA has changed the Logo to NAZA edi but steering is KIA Logo...
And the diff is so much, CBU 1 is assembly in Korea and CKD is assembly in Malaysia. Which 1 quality is more good?
