Thank you for all the congrats smile.gif

Yes, the car is great! Like CM98 says, if the car comes with a larger size monitor with front & reverse cam, then parking is will be much easier. A couple of times, the front bumper nearly touch the front kerb when I park at public roads. For side parking, if you want to park perfectly, then for me, need to re-park a few times to get the angle right lor...

As for turning angle, cannot compare with City as City has a shorter and narrower body so the turning ratio is better (I feel). Am adjusting my driving style and learning the "behavior" of the new car, so I think I will be able to handle the K5 better with passing time.

I detected something today, as I was caught in a bumper-to-bumper traffic, my aircon, which is set to [Auto], starting spewing out hot air. The setting is with re-circulation mode and I have to on/off or lower the aircon settings to get cold air flowing again.

And also, after I engage the foot brake (but not extremely hard/push all the way back), the car still lurch to the front.

Any bros here encountered this problem before?

Not a major problem for me, but still would like to find out what is the problem lor...

Another 600km to 1,000 service, so better book my service appt earlier and report these couple of issues to the SC  sad.gif
The aircon circulation button sometimes may require a setting to be done. Refer to the K5 Fanpage on Facebook for more info. Or u can ask the SC to set for you. I got mine set as well. In my case, the setting will auto switch to outside air halfway while driving. But now its fine.

Your 2nd issue is not a problem. The front of the car is heavier than the rear. So if ure not on a level surface and u engage the foot brake, the car will move forward a little and then stop. Its normal. U just need to make sure u depress the foot brake fully.

rclxms.gif to Orbituary and CM98.

Will try the aircon settings from myk5club FB page. If not successful, will get Red Cube SC to see what they can do. As for the lurching forward, thanks for making my mind at ease with your experience.

I think this is standard for a K5 foot brake, you have to really depressed it very hard then you would noticed it only moved a bit or not moving at all if you depressed it really firmly. Try again. biggrin.gif

Yep, kudos and thanks for the advice on the foot brake. On uneven or sloping road, you have to depress the foot brake fully to get the car to (close) to a dead stop.

Manage to get the BT to stream songs to the Infinity. Now need the sifus here to advice what file format and size of of external USB drive which the Infinity can detect.

I have a 16GB SanDisk USB formatted in NTFS file format, the Infinity says USB reading error. Then, I formatted a Kingston (1GB) with FAT32 and FAT, still the Infinity says USB reading error. All the USB created and formatted using Windows 7.

Any idea what file format and file size the Infinity can support?

Secondly, I have inserted 6 CDs into the Infinity. On all the CDs, there will be this issue where certain songs (random) were having problem being "read" by the player and the song is like unable to play correctly (like the during the whole song, it would skip 1-2 seconds and play like in a forward mode) and I need to stop and start the player to solve the problem.

Anyone here encounter this problem before?

I am having the same problem on the USB too. Instead of using Windows 7, I use Windows XP to format the USB and then copy the file to the USB and it seems to solve my problem.
