im looking to utilise my tints voucher...as i mentioned earlier, tot of not putting tint..but now tot that since already got the vooucher, kinda a bit waste not to use it...but not going to break the bank for it lar...thinking of putting ard rm800 kinda tint..any recommendation?

preferably with at least 5 years warranty and dark in colour..

yesterday, i notice my audio system have some fault, when i try to pair my phone to the bluetooth....press setup button will go to the 4 setting menu(SDVC, PHONE, TEST, SCROLL), but cant enter another level after that..meaning if i put the selection on "PHONE" or any other and enter(press the tune button) nothing happen

anyone has this problem oso?
*
Initially i got this problem also which i noticed during taking this car..the shop also thought the bluetooth got problem & reassure me that this thing can be fix and replace with the new one during the 1000km service..but somehow the thing working by itself when i explore more but i cant really recall exactly how i do that..but u can try this:

if u got any cd, remove it 1st > press the mode button on the steering until AM mode > turn on your phone bluetooth > search for kia motors bluetooth > then pair with it > tadaaa..siap already

can play music from the bluetooth and receive call

Just went to KIA showroom at Ampang. According to the SA there they have immediate stock for all colors (2012 model), and also a cash rebate of rm1000 i think. So anyone who wants the optima minus the wait, you might want to visit them smile.gif

i think the one with rm 1000 rebate are the one with no rear seat aircond blower version

The 1 with no rear aircond vent is 2011 model. I think they r trying to get rid of old stock.

All 2012 model comes with rear aircond vent.

i see..no wonder they really push me to take the without aircond blower version..but i still insist for the blower one although the offered me rm 1000 discount + free car services for 2 years


Added on March 18, 2012, 9:21 amso make sure u all check 1st..really got 2 version

Guys i have some questions regarding the Optima after my last test drive over the weekend:

1) I noticed a burnt smell coming from around the car after the 30 min drive. This also happened on earlier test drives. I notice this happens after fast acceleration. Why is this happening?

2) The steering wheel behaves rather erratically when turning corners over bumpy roads or hard braking. Like it has a life of its own

3) The area around the car is also very warm possibly from the heat emanating from underneath the car. Ive never experienced this on other cars before.

Can someone provide some insight especially current owners? Anything mentioned on foreign websites/forums on possible similar problems on the Optima?
