The LCD/GPS is just the interface and the infinity sounds system with 8 speakers will should be able to link to the LCD interface without any issue. The SA from Glenmarie mentioned the GPS/LCD can be installed from 2-4k.  2k are those non-original and 4k are originals.

4k LCD HU is with navigation? Man, hope this is true.

Understand bro, much like you, yes I would like to have a higher RV later, but like most member here, I choose K5 based on personal decision and wanted to get the car for the experience of owning it and driving it, rather than worry for the value when I sell the car later...

However, when I book the car in September, it was the Theta II engine model, until my SA advice me to wait for the NU engine, which I did. Unless facelift model coming in next 1 or 2 months, this waiting game not worth it.

My only mistake (though a happy one  rclxms.gif ) is joining http://myk5club.com/ too soon without having the car  cry.gif

Same thoughts here on the RV part too, bro. biggrin.gif I'm also hoping to get mine in 1-2 weeks time. Which outlet u went to?

Similar to yours but my priorities of "mods"/addons are:
1. Tom's Stickers (Exterior protection against scratches & interior brushed aluminium strips -for dash & four doors) - kena poison by http://myk5club.com/ tongue.gif
2. Floor Mats
3. Sierra Glow
4. Tinting <--- This i have to carefully survey around for reasonable pricing and most importantly good workmanship. Anyone kind enough to advise? I'm still browsing through the humongous mods in the K5 club FB icon_question.gif rclxub.gif
5. Foaming+Soundproofing
6. GPS NAV Touchscreen - K5 almost 1 year in m'sia and still no decent ones available?

rclxms.gif Great! What colour are you getting?

5 & 6 is definitely worth getting. But under my major mod list after 10K service. I already bought the full stripe rear tail light and planning to buy the auto-fold side mirror. I figure if you need to open up your baby, might as well do it one shot. Also can get the accessory shop to do some additional work in case some of the minor cases like the sun roof need lubrication, wiper needs changing to silicone, fog light change to LED type, etc. and the list can goes on and on depending how much poison you can take. Lastly, the front camera or sensor (choose one)...

As for tint, I have use Air Cool for my last couple of cars and they are pretty good, but since I got Raytech voucher, will also check this one out and of course, poison by FB site, RhinePro price and specs looks decent and very affordable. Some of my company cars uses V-Cool which I think is overly priced !!

Just saw the NU engine much more quiet than the Theta II engine on FB. Looks like the really worth the wait for the NU engine  nod.gif

Other question I PM you later. Can't wait for the ride, cheers rclxm9.gif

Wah so fast bought the tail lights d notworthy.gif

Yeah, have checked out the RhinePro, and it looks good most probably will go for this but need to find the best guy to do it.

Hmm, stiffer steering is better for me. The Euro4 spec, the steering is too light. At fast speeds, feels very dangerous >_<!

The Euro4 steering is electronically controlled; thus it fells light for parking/slow speeds. At fast speeds, it becomes stiffer.
