the solution is :

Song Name + Artist Name = < 30 letters including space

right click ur songs and go to properties and edit in the "details" tab
as long as u do that.... ur songs will be played everytime u start ur engine.
*
I'm sure song inside my thumb drive some of them less than 20 letters how come mine cant even detect a single song. Anyway the best solution is to tranfer to the micro SD card.


Added on August 9, 2012, 10:35 amGood morning everyone. I just join this big friendly Forte family. Add me into the list please 1.6sx 6 Speed white.

Indirectly I actually bought from Edwin as I go thru my friend to deal with him. No choice la he is my many years friend so need to support a bit. Can't comment much since my friend is the one who deal with him but he is a nice guy and he did a very good job in delivering time. He say Wednesday he really did it. Thank you very much really appreciate it.


Added on August 9, 2012, 10:43 amAfter driving last night I have few question need to ask.

1) The pull left issues u guys keep on mentioning is it if you let go the steering it will automatically move to the left? Mine on seems like quite obvious as if im driving with 1 hand need lots of energy to maintain it. Can I send to service center now or better wait till first service only send?

2) The USB issue as i mention above of cos cant detect any song. And my radio reception seems like quite week...sad.gif

3) Another question about song, I connect my iPhone via bluetooth dont know why sometime it doesnt have sound. The song is playing and i can even skip next track from HU it just no sound. When phone ringing voice is coming out from speaker. Wonder why...??

4) Can the GPS sound volume increase? As if im listening radio while using GPS when the beautiful lady inside the GPS speak the voice is soft till i cant hear anything. If I increase the volume when it change back to radio the sound is very very loud. Is the any way to louder the GPS voice only?

After all this car really worth every single cent you spend on it... If the resell value is not too low in the next few years I can't see any reason you dont buy this car if you have 80k budget...

If such a case then u need to modify the wolfncu.ini file..because i already map everything to run with pendrive..its easy, just change the skin path to run from storage card by modfying the wolfncu.ini file..then dump everything into your sd card..anyway u need a pc to do this..


Added on August 12, 2012, 3:49 pmto those who want to run this software from the Storage Card, please re-download this file from the link below and extract this file in your storage card (sd card) after that, follow the same steps from the tutorial.

The steps looks simple just wonder is the skin permanent or if I don't wan the skin I just unplug the USB then it's back to the original skin or every time when I start my car I need to tap on the skin shortcut that I created previously?

one question.. do you own a Forte now actually ?
it has info of KM to empty tank (Distance to Empty) on the dash.

The DTE when reach E it wont show anymore. I have tested when start blinking i still can drive from Kuchai Lama back to Pandan Indah. Should be around 15km with no traffic jam. IMO 20KM should be fine. test at ur own risk... tongue.gif

I think preve can be compared, its in the same segment.

Ya I think so. But no matter what preve is a Proton had bad experience with this brand so even if it's 10k cheaper I will not consider. First time on Korean car hope it won't end up like this too. BTW don't u guys realize what makes PROTON think that their car price can be on par with vios, city, and our precious forte? If u look at highest spec of inspira it even on top of it. And don't forget those car is expensive due to import tax. Take out tax those car is a lot cheaper PROTON. Or they think their brand is on top of Honda & Toyota?

Right! And if you want to know the actual price of Preve, keep watching when they export this car to other countries (normally cheaper). You will know how much expensive they sell to Malaysian.

Pity myself and Malaysian sad.gif
Pity me too I'm on the boat with u but luckily we choose forte... tongue.gif

Really need ur feedback on after 10k service. My car FC now seems like better on 2nd tank. The first can reach 380km only now this tank seems like can reach 450km.

Last time I'm using BHp also not bad. But problem is the station is quite limited ESP ppl like me doing sales and lazy pump petrol.everytime also picit till almost wanna spill out. But now I'm using esso. Not bad or a bit better compare to BHp and station also a lot. Choose what station also I definitely won't choose SHELL. Completely banned it...

I pumped Esso for once when I was using my bro's car (Ford Focus 2.0 Duratec) because it was the nearest station available and alarmingly low fuel.. (Range to Empty only 7km). A day after terus kena sound by him coz evident feel of torqueless 3k rpm power.. same goes to my Vios last time.. maybe Esso mileage is abit better compare to BHP..

and one more "problem" with my Forte.. the new car smell fades off 98% at only 800km on odometer.. fastest which I wouldn't expect in every new car I've driven.. haihhhh..

To test which petrol is good u can't just pump once. At least u need 3-4 full tank only feel the difference... smile.gif anyway BHp is not bad also...

Last time Citibank offer me a shell card which gaves 5% rebet I cancel it after few weeks usage then bank call me why I cancel it, you don't like the rebet then I answer "ur rebet not enuff to cover my losses from shell petrol". Big difference on the mileage la. 50km lesser I think. Tried a few tank then end up I give up the bank and petrol.. tongue.gif

Everyone like the new car smell, but those smell is the toxic fumes from the car interior in fact not good to your health, especially within the confined environment and under the hot sun. I tried to drive with open window for a week and do not let my child sit in my car while it still new. Good to heard your car smell fade so fast.  thumbup.gif

Yeah my gf don't like that smell too. Need to get rid of it soonest. Going for my first service this coming thu any idea which SC better for fixing the famous left pull issue? I heard CSL branch is good am I right? So far I only facing this left pull issue the rating noise don't have yet or maybe I'm not noise sensitive...

I have my car Forter 1.6SX drive for 600km mileage already. I listen to you all and try my best to press the pedal as light as possible with my right foot. I have see my FC is 9.2 to 9.4L/100KM from meter.

Well, how much the fuel consumption will improve after 1000km / 5000km / 10000km services? Can you share with me with provide detail in xL/100KM format?
*
I realize if you wanna achieve below 10L/100km at instant, ur RPM shall be around 2000. I was thinking if keep on like this sooner the car don't know will become underpowered or not....

Guys, i tried unlocking the door but my car still moving, and then it will unlock then lock again cause the car still moving. Must stop the car only can unlock the door. U guys realise that? I feel its pretty good that way. LOL!

Haha. This is quite standard. Normal car alarm have this kinda function. Whenever ur rpm reach 2000(or lower not sure) it will lock door.


Added on August 16, 2012, 7:52 pmBeen to CSL did my first service. After service very obvious instant l/100km is easier to achieve below 10. I believe my car FC has improve but my pull left issue still there. I told the girl the car alignment got problem keep moving to left. Am I say the right thing?

Heh.. is that the lady called Zainab ? I've mentioned few times since V13 that CSL SC never take note of customers complain seriously. The tagline "family-like care" claimed doesn't work in that SC to solve the annoying issues promptly which shouldn't be happen on new cars after delivery.. They didn't bothered to help me to fix alignment FOC (my salesgirl told me alignment warranty for new car is below 1k km mileage) coz she said "oh.. kereta Encik punye info belum registered masuk kat dlm HQ punya server.. Encik kena dtg lain kali utk buat repair alignment"

Bye bye CSL SC.. although this is the nearest SC available to place I'm staying.. I rather spend 20-30mins time driving to Setapak SC for higher confidence level and satisfied feel after service job done..
*
Setapak good ah? Guess next week go again. BTW the alignment warranty is 2k I ask jor. I'm 1.3k atm. Hope haven't reach 2k when I send for service. Are they reopen on 8th?

Same problem like me last time..

Remedy steps:
1)pop up the boot
2)unscrew every screw at the black panel
3)look at the camera socket which securely locked on the boot metal
4)tarik keluar the plug
5)twist the plug clockwise 2X (for tighter fit into the socket)
6)cucuk balik plug into the socket kuat kuat
7)replace the black panel in position and screw back everything

problem solved for me about 1 month so far, camera still works fine and no flickering at all..

Wah, wait it happen again then will do it. So far only happen once. Thanks for the help... thumbup.gif

I've been facing this reverse camera malfunction since the 1 week ago I got my new car.
The video image doesn't appear in the rear mirror sometimes and green light blinking in the rear mirror.
But sometimes it does appear and it seems to me like there's problem with the connection between the rear mirror and the camera.

Explained to the service center several times included my 1st 1000km service time the service consultant keep on insisting that this problem occurs to almost 80% of forte owners facing same problem and Kia has no idea what and how to solve this problem. They insist this issue is not cause by connection and they didn't even help me to take a look and check double confirm the problem.
The service consultant told me that currently they do not have replacement parts for reverse camera and require to order. They also said that they do not know when will the reverse camera come in and some of the customers waited for 6 months.

The problem continues and really frustrated in such small issue which should able to settle and confirm within an hour has drag till like without a dateline. And I don't feel that the service center even try to take a look and do a double confirmation on the issue.

1) anyone facing same reverse camera like me?

2) any good advice of whih service center will take customer's complain and property more seriously?

3) other than Kia service center any advice of where to fix and check my problem? Any shop to introduce??

Appreciate for some help here:)

I have this problem before but also very rarely. So far only happen twice. Then I ask this question here ah_bear gor give me a solution as below:

1) This happened to my 1.6SX as well. Occurred around 1 time out of every 20 times.
2) Mine aircond is not cold too after i collect my car under a hot sun. If set to auto mode the wind blowing speed will auto put into max which is very noisy and blowing hot air.
3) Not sure. Never check.
4) So far my mileage is 1700km+. I tried esso and this is my result:
(RM 93 - 432km)
(RM 79 - 399KM)

5) I never update  tongue.gif

How come urs so high? Mine I think around 80+ is 450km. I thought mine is consider very low. I'm using esso and 1.9km now. I'm trying to step the pedal whenever I want now without looking at the instant to see how big is the difference of the distance. If just 10-20km difference then i dont care anymore. Cos if wanna maintain 10l/100km the rpm have to maintain at 2k. Don't know if carry on like this future the car will underpowered.
