Hey guys, just got my car last Friday, but yesterday I realized that the anti glare function on my rear view mirror has stopped functioning. How do I go about this? Just bring it to an SC? or do I have to make prior contact to anyone like my SA first? Advice needed. Thanks in advanced for replies!

HI all,

I was trying to purchase a Forte.  For some reason i think KIA has been hiring some very bad sales.  I am from Penang, when i visited first showroom at Crystal pt, the sales gives me a feeling of suspicious that he tried to get us to put deposit whatever it takes.  My wife do not like it so we went to the second one at Greenlane.  Lagi teruk the sales fist leaves me and my wife alone under the hot sun alone to serve another guy that comes in later than us.  And when i ask him why does the wheel (actually its the metal disc directly expose beneath rim, where normally break pad press on top, i'm no expert in cars dunno what that calls) appears rusty?  He looks at me and say right to my face "you are not a car buyer, everyone knows rusty surface is good car". ??!!  i walk away directly. 
In short, i like the car, but i really dislike the sales.  They fail even as a simple information giver, whatmore they "suan" the customer.  The Honda sales are professional, even Perodua sales are much better.

shocking.gif too much rite?? maybe they all sombong oredi now that for once they have this hot selling model...it's really misopportunity on their part..their boss neber give out training ka? one wonders.
anyway not all kia sales ppl like that too bad it happened to you my experience not that all bad when i was shopping around for the car..try out some other place if not too much of a problem.

Actually I think it's a subjective issue... my 2 sen lah, but I reckon it really depends on the person that's serving you. I got mine from the Naza branch in Ampang and the guy was pretty good in terms of service. I was harassing him a fair bit also after my loan was approved, etc. coz the delivery of the 2.0 took quite long. He was very good at keeping me up to date on any development. All in all, I felt that he did ok by me lah.

In terms of professionalism of other brand punya SA... I reckon you've not met those smooth characters who read out from a script and start taking you for a ride with BS (Go read my signature tongue.gif ) I normally buat bodoh jer... and then nod and go "Hmmm...." when I'm being fed BS.... tongue.gif

The key here is, don't harap these SAs to give you everything. It's much easier to prepare yourself by doing some research on the car that you want. You also have forums and reviews online to scour through. Once you've done some homework, then you won't be at the mercy of sales people... (Well, at least not completely at their mercy loh...) wink.gif

The mirror is sensitive to the brightness of the light around you.... I've noticed when driving at night the anti-glare effect varies. Have you tried it under different conditions?

I had almost the same experience. I also went to the showrooms you mentioned. The Greenlane one was the worst. He's a conman! In the end I ended up in Autocity and I booked from the guy whom I think is a little better. I think it is just our luck, we don't have good SAs here in Penang. To me Naza is out to make big bucks and that is all. It's sad they are the distributors of Forte.

Bro KFC & I got quite a special price because we "secara tidak langsung" will become a promoter for this item (for KL Auto). Purchasing a single unit of HU + remote controller + original panel + shark fin antennae + reverse camera + necessary cables + 2GB Micro SD card with preloaded MY&SG map + installation later on will cost u somewhere near 3k. So Mr. Desmond asking for a group buy for the benefits of all (get cheaper price).

So, here it comes :

The HU panel, central aircond vents & original HU itself need to be removed first

The side panel of the dashboard need to be removed to make way for the TV antennae & GPS receiver cables
Attached Image

The A-Pillar's side panel also need to be removed for TV antennae installation. I ask them to be extra cautious to the curtain airbag.

The back seat also been removed to lay the reverse camera cable

have u tinted your car? if yes, then its like that. the sensor is not sensitive anymore. unless there's a very bright light from behind.
reason is some of the light being reflected by the tint. hence, not sufficient to trigger the anti-glare function.

i notice this right after did my tint.

The hologram sticker clearly shows that the replacement panel are originally made by Hyundai Mobis, Korea. The Original Equipment Manufacturer for Hyundai & Kia

Installing reverse camera cable. I have to say that the workmanship of KL Auto staffs are neat & good enough. From below pic, we can clearly see that they use cable conduit to protect the cable as well as to make it looks neat.

The reverse camera installed just below the plate number light bulb

Yup..it will straight away (automatically) switch the display to reverse cam from other modes (also muting the sound). When u shift back to D (or other than R) the screen will automatically switch back to the previous mode + the sound smile.gif

The HU itself actually made in China. I'm not sure whether they supply the unit for KIA or not. But what i can assure u from Mr. Desmond own words is, this is the best unit/model/brand (with highest specifications) he can get from his contact there apart from many other manufacturers/brands that produce this type of HU

Hi bro izputra,

When watching TV have to install TV antenna? The store one cannot be use?

Will the console feel heat after the installation?

Will void Naza warranty? (well, I think I know the answer, just need to check until which extend it voided)
