anyone know if its possible to re-wire the LED in the headlights to be actual DAYTIME running lights instead of only switching on with the main lights?

There are people who have done that. Tap the LED wire to any components that gonna run once the engine ignites.
Eg aircond compressor.

ah, so im guessing that its possible to install a separate on/off switch for the LED as well?

hmm DAYTIME running lights is a bit different from preve. i saw audi, lexus, volkswagen, bmw. when morning they open DAYTIME running lights the led only power on. the rear lights dont have.

if we open the DAYTIME running lights the back light also on...so during morning or afternoon it is not that good looking actually...
*
yup, thats why im wondering if there's a way to remap the front LED to a switch, so we can choose to switch it on/off by its own smile.gif

Thank you, Ryuken74 for your feedback. Is your Exec an Auto?

I saw some include a reverse camera - do they attach this to the GPS unit (in the Preve Premium) or is it a separate and new device altogether?
*
separate device, the HU has no camera integration as far as i know. The SA i went to was selling auto dimming rear mirror + reverse camera(in the rear view mirror) as an addon for RM650.

although im certain we can get it cheaper if we look into accessory shops.

Just now running top speed at 160km/h at MEX highway...i tin still can go faster but worry abt the AES  tongue.gif

I heard that the new mapping might solve the overcrank issue too...my preve used to has overcrank (1-way-valve) problem previously, so far din facing any overcrank anymore (touchwood  whistling.gif ).
*
you're already at 160km/h which is over the speed limit.. might as well push a bit more? tongue.gif

Sorry a bit noob here. I went to the 3s platinum showroom in Kuching to ask just now.
The SA did not offer any extra discount. Should i go survey somemore at other showroom?
*
or you could try and push the SAs harder for discounts. anything from an additional 1-3k(total up to 5k) is possible biggrin.gif

thanks for replay guys
Actually i don't know what are the problems, but two sells agents tell me that the cfe model have more problems than the IAFM, i guess because it came with turbo
*
sales agent will never tell you bad things about their product, UNLESS they are trying to push off some IAFM stock.. lol tongue.gif

what's ur chasis no? mine 222xx still with old ecu/tcu
*
pretty sure mine is the new ECU because I've test drove the car previously with the old ECU and recently with the new ECU remap and i remember the difference as it was very obvious to me haha..

i'll be sure to double check this during my 1k service which should be due this week

Any news for Preve r3 lowering spring set? I can't wait to lowered my ride.

i can't imagine going any lower.. there are two iron 'hooks' at the bottom of the engine area which have hit the ground a few times at parking lot ramps and speed bumps.. lucky no damage on the body

for me its pretty good, I realized this one day when i rolled down the window to use my touch n go at the toll. As I was exiting the toll, sun was shining from my right side, and as the window closed i could really tell the difference in terms of how 'hot' the rays felt on my face! cool2.gif

Seriously I don't know if my car is new and accident can replace new car. So syok.

that's why we pay insurance premium, but only if the car is declared to be total loss.

if still can repair, you will have to bear with a 'not so new' accident car for the rest of its use period.. so if you wanna bang/kena bang, go all the way? haha.. doh.gif

I got my car today,finally ....
So far so good, a little bit dissapointed as i expect  my car's chasis number should be 26xxx instead of 10xxx. Agents claims that the no 10xxx is because ppl seldom take black color (cn 26xxx is for other colors e.g. White) and no worry we have rectify all the problem , your car should be function like those car whose cn is 26xxx ....

Power window - functioning well
And up to now i haven experience any gluk gluk sound ...
But im wonder how come my car fronts' lamp got marks as shown in the pictures  ...
And when i floor the pedal ( from stationary) the car seems dont move immediately (it take 2sec to respond) and it will accelerate when it respond (after 2 sec). I have to release the pedal thereafter ... This really troublesome me when i get trap in traffic congestion . Is these normal ?
I cant change normal mode to private mode when i press the lock&unlock button simultaneously, is there any sequences ? i have to unlock my car and get into the car 1st before change the mode ? to press & hold the lock button then press unlock, or vice versa ?
*
my 2 week old black model is also from the 10xxx line.. oh well lol.

as for the pedal response, it will be ALOT better after the ECU remap during your first 1k service trust me. I just did mine on Saturday and its amazing(but FC will increase slightly).

The headlight and rusty rear muffler hook my car has the same thing as well. Nothing serious though, can live with it smile.gif
