I installed crystalline 50 on all sides. Smart tag depend on toll booths. I know for a fact LDP toll at Subang exit is okay. But the other direction not ok  sweat.gif Tried a few times, decided not to take risks (many times nearly bang the barrier). My tint did not cover the area at the back of the rear view mirror, so I place my smart tag there smile.gif

how much did you guy get the 3m crystalline? Is RM1.7K reasonable for whole car but no safety tint, have to add RM100/200 for another 4mil tint?
and how is the performance? good?

Went to the sales center at Red cube beside federal highway on last saturday. The spec given on Forte 1.6 sx is really the best bang for bucks. Using the new GPS navi, I notice the FM is noisy, is this normal ?

Mine the shop give me OEM tint film. Not manufactured by 3M themselves but somewhat "approved" by 3M. Its 1 single piece, giving the same (or at least nearly the same) effectiveness as 3M original tint not to mention the colour tone. I don't quite believe in additional layer because the strength will not be the same as 1 piece alone smile.gif Just my 2 cents wink.gif

I'm using RhinoPro XD7 for windows and incredible series for front & rear windscreen.. thumbup.gif

So far, tip top..

1) as I always parked my car under the sun every day during work, feel the noticeable different in temperature prior not using it..
2) when set air con to auto 26degree, outside >= 33degree, the bar will at 2 or 3.. compare before, bar will normally at 4 and more..
3) no issue on gps & smart tag..

It's CKD, locally assembled. I'm sorry to share with you this disappointing news but the truth is, Naza is still waiting for shipment of parts (transmission components) for the 2.0 to arrive to complete the assembly. The earliest date would be sometime by end of June or it may get delayed to early July 2012. Please anticipate this waiting period, it's affecting orders for whole country.

Thank You

yup..the highest spec..just recently installed in my forte.. for my other car, using solargard, but not good enough..

this want, import direct from USA, I got warranty card issued immediately for 15 yrs warranty..and free window insurance coverage for 5 years!! rclxm9.gif

why i choose this brand basically it meet up all my requirement:
1) the darkness (VLT) is at the minimum side for JPJ requirement..( I want it dark but at JPJ approve level 70% for rear and front & 50% for side window)
2) highest heat resistance (IRR rejection / higher TSER) but no problem with signal interference (smart tag / gps / phone /etc )
3) good thickness for security at 7 mill for side window
4) great price!!!

15 years warranty from who? I'm guessing the shop? Just want to highlight to everyone that these kinda warranty is kinda subjective coz if the shop close down, warranty also gone. Before going for any tints with "extended" warranty, first ask, how long their shop established already. More often than not, they open not even close to the amount of years they give warranty for smile.gif Just becareful ya wink.gif

And whats your IRR% anyway? smile.gif Curious

Oh, and I wanna add on.. Most important is the worker's workmanship. My advise is spend 20 mins watching them do their work. See how they do it. Tint film quality good no use when the workmanship is crap wink.gif

I have installed PAPAGO onto my new HU SD card and it works. Unfortunately, I copied this from my friend's GPS SD card and its PAPAGO X3. The screen shown is too small at 4" compare to our 7" HU screen. So far have anyone else installed PAPAGO and able to fill up its screen and whats its version eg X5 or X8...? Pls PM me on details. Thanks.

Try to find the M3GPS X5 SE with HD format. That should support the 7" HU screen. Proven..i'm using it last time. I got the copy, but i'm @ Kedah..so how? tongue.gif

The filter is to filter foreign materials such as sands, dust etc, not smell.
If u take out the filter, u can see a lot of sands and dust on the filter. Periodically cleaning of the filter (or you can change it frequently if you can afford) will help to give a better air flow, thus better cooling.
*
If i'm not mistaken, the cabin air filter is the active carbon type. Besides filtering the airborne particles, it should also filter the foul odour or smelly air. It will not 100% eliminate the smell however, but will reduce it

It's common problem for 4 speed or 6 speed models.. Me and my frens have switched to use HID instead of normal halogen bulbs. Problem solved for us and we r happy using HID with 4300k temperature.
*
Where did you get the HID bro? The cost for me getting those PIAA bulb is RM200 (4500K) and china brand bulb (5000K) is rm50. Each brand lasted only 6 months. And i never put the switch in auto mode. If install HID will resolve the issue and the cost is similar..i would rather spend the money for HID.

yes i do agree with you about the workmanship, therefore i insisted to my SA that i'll do the tint myself so that i can be there to observe how they treat my car. about this company coolworld, as claimed from one of their threads here, has been established for 8 yrs and has many branches... i think should be alright

Izputra, u r correct, there are activated carbon on the filter, and it does help to remove certain % of smells.
It normally binds well with those organic chemicals (except a few) and less effective with inorganics.
But, if you use the external air circulation like our bro here, chances of removing the smells are low, as the external air flow into the cabin is faster than the adsorption rate of the activated carbon, the longer the air is retained with the activated carbon, higher chances of adsorption...............just my 2 cents.

Anyway, activated carbon does not adsorb CO.
