NO alarm only immobilizer. Why alarm? Annoying and drains battery. Park at as safe place. Minimize risks. If cant then naza can install alarm system to your car with additional charge.

First of all get your facts right. Alarm is a triggering system to warn you about possible intrusion and NOT to prevent your car from being started. That's what the immobiliser is for. If you so worried why don't just install the alarm yourself? smile.gif

for sure i'm gonna install the alarm but kinda excited when you described the alarm is piece of useless junk only produce loud noise. your car only can start with it immobiliZer, perhaps you're to naive.

try google abit how car alarm work, give you a hint "car alarm wiki" mr. smart.


A car alarm is an electronic device installed in a vehicle in an attempt to discourage theft of the vehicle itself, its contents, or both. Car alarms work by emitting high-volume sound (usually a siren, klaxon, pre-recorded verbal warning, the vehicle's own horn, or a combination thereof) when the conditions necessary for triggering are met, as well as by flashing some of the vehicle's lights, and (optionally) notifying the car's owner via a paging system and interrupting various electrical circuits necessary for the car to start.

i think my driver side door light sensor is the problem..i just remembered that i have a problem with that whereby my map lamps doesnt turn on when i open the driver side door even though the switch is set to DOOR not OFF. If i open the back doors, the lamp goes on so it means that sensor got problem which would in my theory lead to this problem as well because in the manual it says:
"With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driver paron the side of the road at night."

This is in section 4-59 - battery saver function.

enjoying my drive from JB to KL last night.

FC while driving to work from JB - SG for 2 days is showing 10.4l/100

FC after driving from JB to KL is showing 7.4l/100 ...

now in KL, should i send the car to SC here or should i go back JB to service ? I found some SC here in KL where forumer say quite okay, while in JB i dont know whats the feedback. KM is about 600 now

btw, was driving 110 on the highway ... but then kaki gatal, rev till 160 but dont dare go further ... some ppl said you dont need to break in by driving slow until 10k because the car already break in in factory... some said i have to drive 80 only... confused
*
I don't believe that asian engine had done pre break-in at factory, continental car maybe yes.even the owners manual had stated the maintain 2k-4k rpm before 1k service.I would say better save than sorry

1.6SX model Bluetooth connectivity feature can make phone call using steering control? or is there a voice command feature like Ford Fiesta??

Pair your phone and hu bt once.activate your phone bt then on the hu every time get into your car shall get both connected. Press "answer" button on steering wheel during incoming call would allow u to talk thru hands free then

Hi there,
Is there anyone here having the 1.6SX 2012 Model that comes with DVD/GPS system?

Does the "pulling-left" and rattling dash-board sound and also squeeky masuk-angin sound from door PROBLEMSSS still exist?

Also, if change tyre below 1000km, warranty void for suspension?  What about cases on above 1000km, change tyre n no change rim case OR change rim n tyre? Will Naza void thr warranty?

If pull-left problem happen and go 3rd party change chamber nut, warranty void ah for suspension and "car-leg" (don't know call what in Eng)

=)
*
Changing tyres should not void warranty
Pull left issue can be fixed at sc without adding chamber nuts and its foc as the sc will claim warranty from naza
