Yesterday while negotiating a curve to go down the ramp in the parking bays of a building, the passenger tyre hit the curb and got a scratch on the rim. Sigh. Now my baby got a scar for life. Sob sob but i still love her very much

QUOTE(bomohhantu @ Apr 19 2012, 01:57 PM) Hi Everyone, Nice to c Optima K5 have new home. Welcome to the K5 family. when you are playing games from your smart phone, the sound can also be blasted from the infinity system. Meaning playing games with surround sound in K5 I just got my car yesterday, now ODO already 639. my current AFE(average Fuel Economy) is 7.6l/100KM driving on plus highway from KL to Perlis Average speed is 96km/h I try playing with the radio today and i found out that i can play song using my handphone(android) through bluetooth connection. I dono if this is new discovery or not ? here is how i do it: 1. Pair your Hp as handset 2. Press Mode button(on steering) until [Phone mode] and is should display "Play MP3" 3. play mp3 at ur HP and the sound come out from car speaker. haha i so surprise .   |

Hey anyone done any coating on all the windows, sunroof and wind screen? To prevent rain water from sticking to glass and water stain. Any recommendation. A car shop near my place is doing it for rm330 wit 1 yr warranty |

Anyone still experiencing the burnt smell during high rev? Once in a while i drive at high speed. Everytime when go 160kmh or higher i will get the burnt smell. Not sure how to describe the smell. But does smell a bit like the hair perming smell in saloon. Will check it out at 10k service. Any advice fellow k5 owners? Thanks

QUOTE(ken7908 @ May 20 2012, 02:18 PM) Guess this is the same smell everyone experiencing. It does happen, and many says it will go away after sometime. But it's been 3.5 mths since i got my car. No need to do high rev for long time to get that smell. I can get the burnt smell the moment i hit around 160kmh. Once i slow down, smell will dissipate after a min or 2. Quite worrying for the engine or something else really burning up! Must really check out nex service. Will report here after that. 2k km more to next service |

Just came back from awan besar r&r. Saw a rather big crowd at the parking area, then realised it was a TT session for lancer and myvi. Majority of the crowd staring at my ride with full admiration when i drive by. I slowed down for them to admire. Haha, such a wonderful feeling and proud owner of a K5
