i guess if they find out mah void lor... if u ask a good accessory shop to config for you w/out messing up the wires, shd be less obvious quah...

Added on April 18, 2011, 10:26 pmBTW, i had a good chat w/my SA today over lunch, while waiting for my tinting to finish. i asked him point blank how much commission he gets per Insight.

Apparently, Honda SAs will get RM1k or so, for every Insight sold. Same comm level as selling City. But my SA said after deduct the freebies they give you... stuff like free mats, free tinting etc, then their comm is less.

Their basic pay is RM400/mth only. So sometimes I understand why they push us so hard to make their sale. It's their ricebowl

they hav to modify some cable?? i tot setting only??

I last checked my Insight tire pressure and it was around the recommended pressure..(slightly lower) not over inflated like yours

Maybe your dealer did that for you before delivery. I have to tell my SA to do the same for other insight.

I have searched the net and the grinding noise could be the CVT problem but most of them who has this grinding noise the noise is loud and very audible even radio is on.

I hope mine is not the CVT problem.

So do u manage to get any discount from ur SA?

the rm1k commission is not included the commission they get from the loan u apply also rite? Heard they will earn minimum rm600 for the loan also

heard gomen gonna extend tax exemption for hybrid till 31 Dec 2012... good news?

I know one supplier, who is selling in reasonable price for those original stuffs which located at PJ. Previously I brought Illuminated Side Step for my CITY from him. I noticed that the trunk mat price also very competitive. If you interested, perhaps I can find the contact for you.

bad news..... like that existing hybrid car resell value lower.

Did you try to filling tyre with nitrogen? Below is the advantages of using this which I've took from web: -

- Nitrogen reduces the running temperature of the tyre. The moisture content of nitrogen leads to a cooler running tyre, which is advantageous when the car is operating at its maximum load and speed capacity.

- Nitrogen in tyres improves the ride quality. That gas is very slightly lighter than air and thus, benefits the tires in terms of un-sprung weight. It is assumed that Nitrogen increases tyre life. It reduces the operating temperature during times of load and speed and thus, enhances the life of a tyre.

- It is believed that nitrogen keeps tyre pressures more constant. The gas is assumed to provide more stable pressure range in connection to the tyre temperature. However, again, the factor is applicable in times of heavy load/high-speed conditions.

- Tyres are susceptible to loss of pressure as a result of being porous in nature. Due to its chemical structure, Nitrogen leak out slowly as compared to compressed air. Therefore, it slows the rate of pressure loss.

- Oxygen reacts with the tyre and rim materials causing oxidation or the rust formation in the metal parts. Nitrogen, being an inert gas, does not react with the tyre and rim materials.

any dangerous related to flaming or not?

I have been using this from my first ride until now, more than 5 years. No issue and I really enjoy it.

Usually for normal air, you might need to refill at least once/ twice per month. While for nitrogen gas, just refill after 3 to 4 months.

My gf insight will arrive soon so I will send for release all normal air then fill-in nitrogen as well.

where do you get nitrogen gas to fill tyres? am sure most 'normal' shops won't have it...

Added on April 19, 2011, 8:07 amdidn't really get a cash discount off the car. but yeah, it doesn't include the comm they get from elsewhere (like the tinting shop if they recommend you to put, and the bank if you take from his recc bank).

also, if you decide to go outside accessories shop per his recommendation to add on more stuff to your car, then i'm sure he will get a small comm also from them.

My SA gave RM 700 discount for my gf insight.

Added on April 19, 2011, 8:54 amThere is one tyre shop located at Desa Pandan has this service.

Looks like becos of the demand now most SA is very reluctant to give cash rebate.

LED daytime running lamp. will be made standard across all European cars in Europe from 2012 onwards (safety feature).

This range from Philips we can order/ship here for around RM450.

wah 2012 is a good thing for me if they extend i may have enough down payment.

I've tested. Even overreved the engine to look for any weird noise. I like CVT but the over rev part is not really desirable.

Seems like everything going smooth.

About the tyre, u're running 315kpa before didnt you notice the front suspension quite hard and wood'y?

rm700 that's a lot. U are lucky man. How u manage to squeeze so much discount from ur SA sia? U must be a excellent negotiator man

Lets count. 4 items. RM1100. Let say they are each evenly priced at rm275 each:

Footwell light: Not worth it. U can buy any led (Less than rm50), tap illumination and put there.
Trunk tray: Not really worth it. Outside can get around RM150-200 if have, with similar quality.
Sports pedal: Could be worth it. Ori Momo pedals also cost similar.
Sidestep: Worth it. Got molded plastics and chrome plating with Hybrid wording. The rear one seems too small however. If got outside also not very nice & normally just fabricated from sheet metal without plastic part.

The non-worth package surely modulo kit at 4.5k without front grill or spoiler.

Hi guys

i plugged in my thumbdrive (which has mp3 inside) but it shows "unsupported" Anyone encountered this?
