change filter will void warranty?

no light even after u pusing pusing the LED switch on the right?

guys, just wanna ask, for the new HU for forte,the reception is really bad leh. almost like going into building parking punya reception eventhough driving outside. is there any FIX for this? if i change the HU to an aftermarket one, will it void anything ? only warranty relating to the HU? in dat case i dont mind coz can get warranty for the external HU right haha.but yea srsly speaking it's annoying ..and kinda embarassing also if got passenger. pls halp.

Well, i didn't expect it to be THAT bad to be honest. but u confirm can expect the radio reception will be choppy everytime u get into the car lol.
Good thing about the new HU is the LCD screen for GPS lo. Cooler looking but when reception gets choppy..not so cool already. Going forward, will you be able to get the forte with the OLD HU? i dont think so. Would like to point this out to potential forte buyers as well. Anyways Back to my Q, any sifus who know any FIX?....(please don't tell me to play my own cds, that is not a fix haha)
If cant fix im considering changing the HU..if so what brand and which part of the warranty will void? thanks for sharing..
but HU aside, the car is awesome thus far. makes me feel every $$ worth it
btw, just got my car early this week white forte 1.6sx,

yes ive read and ive turned it off? just a simply press on the radio home screen right? "AF". it's turned off and doesnt help.

Thnks for ur reply bro. Sry but got something i dont understand.. So i need to switch "AF" on till i get a clear line then switching "AF" off back? .
Hmm the radio reception you mentioned based on analog.. is this the problem with the HU or the antenna? With ur new antenna is there any choppiness in reception?


agree with you bro. but is there anyone who has made an official complaint here? not sure how to go about it as well. . But will call up the HQ and complain lo next week.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I guess I'll send it to NZ Galaxy see what they can do for me first.
Btw, changing the antenna requires wire-cutting right? In that case only the antenna warranty is voided?

Ah now that makes sense...glad u're here bro! helps a lot.
guess i'll ask them to look into the pull-left issue as well.

1st of all i dont even know how to update the map..anyone care to share? LoL...

As for the locking of position, I have no problems with mine so far. It's quite fast actually.

anyone knows the trade-in price for 17" forte rims (4pcs)? (condition: 2weeks only)
Asked a fellow forumer hes taking in RM400. RM100 for one?

RM500 definitely seems to be a better deal.. RM400 is the same as 1 forumer selling his 1 yr old rims . Maybe only in JB?

You're saying if u're on gear 6 and u slow down till 20km/h it will still remain @ gear 6? .

Btw, sent my car to chck for front windscreen problem - can hear wind noise coming in about 80km/h. Told me they need to get approval from hq to remove the windscreen and seal it back properly and will take 1 day process. Any1 gone through this? Why need approval from HQ? Coz im not replacing the windscreen, no cracks visible ...at least. But the service is much better than Red Cube, the one beside federal highway. Went ytd, the personnel there juz told me make appointment on Monday coz saturday all the SC will be closed coz he told me need to leave car for them 1-2 days (but da heck i went abt 11-12pm on a thursday, by right shld get car on Friday la right? Didnt explain to me the procedure as well, didnt bother to ask the technical advisor to check first also) Kudos to teh kinrara ppl. Friendly and informative, fixed the alignment issue as well. And the personnel @ kinrara SC told me changing my 17" ori rims to another 17" rims will not void warranty. is there any SA or SC that mentioned otherwise?

Wow... so much, mind i ask where u trade-in or bought ur new rims? wanna get a black one for my whitey

good to hear dat bro. maybe u wan pay attention to wind noise comin from windscreen @ abt 80-90 km/h.
Radio reception if distortion iz stroang, u can update HU firmware @ naza auto solutions 225 jalan templer. Thts what i did anyway.

how much did u trade in ur rims for? mind sharing?

I believe Lenso is more $$ one right? better than the locally manufactured advanti?
Got any poison pic/website to show ?

I personally prefer those with 5-6 spokes though.. not sure what brand to get




U can try kinrara SC if u face the same prob. At least i can feel the difference now after they fixed it, no obvious pulling to the left. need to test a bit more though. (update: after testing still got pulling to the left. Im nt sure if i can say it's an alignment issue?) But yea, can change lane if u let go ur hand liao. haha..shat.

if not mistaken the alarm costs abt RM500, shock sensor RM260.
car still pulling to the left. thinking of sending to 3rd party shop for balancing/alignment. any clue to solving this issue?

uh, u can read back previous posts. The car doesnt come with alarm system and shock sensor.


Hmm so you thoroughly tested it? I went to Kinrara SC. They said fixed but problem persists..perhaps i'll go serdang raya SC. very annoying keep halakiri.

Added on June 2, 2012, 9:24 pmNo regrets. Haha. I not gila kuasa. Can feel underpower when got passengers sit inside the car going uphill especially. Need to rev abt 2.5k (coz i still breaking in so dont dare exceed 3k) with 5 ppl in the car inclding myself.
Cabin noise - i not audiophile so it's considered quiet for me, tyre noise quite noticeable ..but i blast my audio when alone.
actually i have budget to go for 2.0 but i think about FC and driving in city, get 1.6 lo. hate to see fuel burn idling haha. like seeing $$ burning away. just my 1 cent.
so far 1.6sx FC - 9.4l/100km. about 70% city , 30 highway. Not sure considered high or not

Im a very cost conscious person hahaha. So i'll monitor the avg L/100km actually.
Anyway I'm breaking in so im keeping the rpm below 3k. Once done 1st service heard some sifu say can go higher.
1 more thing. Coz my car came with bodykit so yeah, dont dare to drive too fast over bumpy roads as well.
Scratched a bit of the front part (BK luckily) not the car body when parking inside parking lots going upwards.
Have to be careful lol. But 1.6 is sufficient for me. the rest of the $$ can go for higher end tint, poisons etc. But if u have $$ and dont care about FC i dont see any reason why you would take 1.6 over 2.0.
