One end of the cable goes into your headphone in on your phone and another goes into the aux in on your car.

Just came back from JPJ wangsa maju, the tint failed the test, it's 56% front and 36% side/back.

Then went to star blaze to remove the tint, go back JPJ to test again, 73% front and 71% side/back.

Tomorrow going back to starblaze to tint again.

i have griffin aux cable with mic

user posted image

it is quite handy for the aux cable to be in the front of the car so i can do something like this

The button can be used to answer calls. The mic work flawlessly. just that sometimes might need to raise up voice a bit if the other party cant hear clearly due to the distance between the mic and me.

Hi guys..

Been busy for quite sometimes... so where were we?

I've clocked my Insight over 20k. So far zero complain, and the car seems smoother and more refine as days passed by. The engine felt lighter. The suspension holds its qualities very well.
I've fully utilize the car, full throttled it, thrash it, going places with it all the way to north and east coast, so far no problem and i fully satisfied with this purchase.

Now i have convinced myself that the hybrid technology is really relevant. I used to think that these hybrid etc is just 'gimmick', if not because of my other half really liked the car, i wouldnt buy it last March.

Still early to conclude, since the IMA battery still strong. I might change my opinion next time if the car breakdown etc.
Or I might face difficulties to choose my next car; at least it have to be as economical, coz i already used to travel 600km++ for RM60. The only choice might be ct200. Time will tell.

After election, petrol raise to 230 for 95, then all will buy hybrid..

Hybrid works. Just that in our subsidised price, not much effect is felt by us.

Imagine ur ron 95 is 230 cent...

There is no bluetooth audio on Insight... however there is USB and yes ipod/iphone compatible which bring all control to the audio player...

The start stop function will not stress the aircond compressor as this compressor is made for hybrid...

The start stop function is kinda aggressive / jerky sometime you will feel the engine come back to life but a little comfort I can sacrifice for the fuel savings... beside wasting fuel at traffic light is plain wasting!!!

I manage to achieve  19-22km/l every day driving to work and coming back from work my work journey (Kepong<-->Sungai Buloh<-->Subang Airport) it take 30min to work and 45-1 hour to come back home... usually going to work I manage 22km/l and going back usually 19-20km/l how to do this the trick is follow the ECON colour changes and Eco Guide Bar... you drive like a dic* you get a fuel consumption like a... you get it dic*!!!

Insight is a very powerfull car for a 1.3 the acceleration is on par with a toyota Altis 2.0 Dual VVTi CVT... (I try it my self)

compare to forte... Forte is a very good car... but the resale value of Korea car is not mature and you will be taking risk on resale value... also the parts I heard dont last that long (no comment on this) but you can take risk...

for RM98K and made in japan... I go for MADE IN JAPAN smile.gif

i tried not to interfere, but sometimes abit too much la..

i also test drive the insight and the altis 2.0.

dont say feel, even the 0-100 numbers clearly shows which is faster.

i'm comparing the quality of the material from my opinion... this is free country, free speech..

not to say to insult the insight owners here, but the meter should be not like 'sticker' meter on the tachometer... maybe upgrade to LCD panel screen meter alike...
