powerbass no have...just normal setting to set bass and treble, got equalizer.
sound i think original hu better lets say it get 10/10. this one get 8.5/10.
that sound increase by speed function also dont have. steering all button can set to work, but no redial last number function.
this can ply dvd and avi, tested some mtv from youtube and dvd9.
touch screen is acceptable, much better than nokia n97 if you owned it before.


papago x8.5, working well. each time i clicked in less than 5 secs satelite search completed.
anyone know why my papago splash screen and caution screen not full screen ah? map are full screen.

maybe some of this design???

or customize one....

As for me, the sound quality, i will give 9.5 out of 10. The stock HU produced a slightly better sound when play mp3/wma files using USB. For CD player..the sound is more or less the same between them. But for radio, the new HU obviously produce better sound. So to conclude :

What i lost :
1. Sound quality of mp3/wma player when using USB (slightly i must say)
2. 6 CD Changer (can convert all my CDs to mp3s anyway)

What i gained (compared to the stock HU on the 4-speed Forte) :
1. 7" Touchscreen TFT DVD/VCD/AVI/MP4/JPG player
2. Satellite navigator (GPS) - c/w original Papago! X8.5 navigation software
3. Better sound quality for radio
4. Reverse camera (need to install camera on the rear)
5. Can play media files using MicroSD card as an alternative to USB
6. Bluetooth phone connectivity
7. Bluetooth music player
8. A good looking HU on the dashboard..luxurious feel..lol
9. Watch TV on the move - Priceless..lol (but of course need to install antenna booster & depends on area - not really clear though )

So i guess..it worth it

Papago! splash screen not full screen? Hmm..perhaps it was a cracked Papago! X8.5 I'm not having such a problem...

oh yea yea this wan quite nice wo

i tot we can just tap existing reverse cam to the HU....so both HU and rear view mirror functioning at same time...no??

go install one la...

Nope..the 4-speed Forte dont have the reverse camera..only the facelifted Forte (6-speed) has it..so need to install one for my 4-speed Forte.

For the 6-speed Forte, yaa..we can just tap the existing reverse cam..but the display/video on the HU is quite blur coz it (the reverse cam) meant for a small resolution screen on the rear view mirror..not for a higher resolution screen on the HU itself.

Hi guys,

Anyone looking for pull left issue? Mechanic at Glenmarie service center managed to somewhat solve the issue. Not 100% but not so obvious already.

Ask for Fendi to settle your pull left issue Make sure you give him ample time to troubleshoot though

nss glenmarie or the 3S glenmarie?

Got 2 meh? The one beside Porche

will be better if all owner here can list all the problem with the car and resolve by which branches service center, so that new owner wont be headache finding service center and kena buta charge for resolve nothing.

like:

alightment pull to left - resolve by which service center.






appreciate all advice and owner here.
getting my forte soon , also hope can resolve the problem if hav any, and good for new owner as well, big family good thing and bad thing share together and resolve it.

that one is the new 3S centre...got another one in glenmarie also called NSS...u can google it
