Passat CKD price so near to M6 2.0 now

Which one will you choose? Conti or Japanese?

I consider this 2 models also b4, but at last, i go for m6, bcoz of the DSG gear problem, the maintenance fee , n the design......

I always avoid conti.... service and the parts really jialat...
aspecially turbo.... feels good, but long run then .............

M6 rocks... always the head turner...

Have you tested both cars? I say go with whichever you feel comfortable with in the car, and appeals to you from the outside.

I think your opinion is the most important one.

Just went and do come survey upon HID conversion kit.
Philips one are selling at RM1500+, this is insane.
However, Philips are equipped with can-bus ballasts, reverse connection protection and short circuit protection.
"Can-bus" ballasts is totally new words for me, never heard of it. Do we really need it?

It's a price you have to pay for branded goods. It gives you peace of mine and warranty.
But of course by doing a retrofit/conversion, you are already voiding the original warranty.
So, are you willing to forgo the 3 years warranty?

I've only heard of can bus LED bulbs.

Hang on, after some read on "can-bus ballast", this could possibly solve the capability problem which 2.0L fitted with 2.5L's headlight.

"I’m sure you’ve heard the word CAN BUS used in all sorts of HID and LED marketing tactics. Having a CAN BUS ballast seems to sound more impressive than just a regular HID ballast. In this article I will explain what exactly CAN BUS is and how it pertains to HID systems:

To truly understand the functions of a CAN BUS ballast for use in HID lighting, you must first understand the role of the CAN BUS network in an automotive electrical system and how it operates. CAN stands for “Controller Area Network” and BUS meaning pathway or data transfer channel, is a communication standard created by Bosch for automotive, industrial, and medical devices. CAN BUS networks are utilized where devices can all use the same pathway/channel to speak to one central CAN BUS controller. CAN is one of the five supported standards of vehicle diagnostics in today’s OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics) system, which also is the system responsible for displaying the dreaded “Service Engine Soon” light on your dash.
In today’s vehicles, there are several Electronic Control Units used to control and monitor the many subsystems. Your headlights, if monitored or controlled by a CAN BUS device, engine, A/C system, airbags, door locks, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System are all either independently operated with an ECU, or work together through a CAN BUS system. When a vehicle comes with a CAN BUS lighting system, what it does is monitor that a particular bulb is working. This can cause a problem when replacing a traditional light bulb with an LED or an HID system because they will not “read” the same to the CAN BUS controller and it will assume the light bulb is burnt out – this will either result in an error message being displayed to the driver, a flashing problem or no power being delivered at all.

Why do my HID headlights flash?

One of the ways that a CAN BUS system can affect the operation of an aftermarket HID conversion kit is this: First, the CAN BUS system will detect that whatever is plugged into the original wiring is probably a bad light bulb, it will start pulsating the electricity again and again in order to try to get the light bulb to start up. If it was indeed a broken factory light bulb, this would have no consequence because the electricity wouldn’t go anywhere, due to the broken filament. With an HID system, this rapid-fire electricity will cause the ballast to turn on and off like a strobe.

The way to solve this problem is to either install a CAN BUS HID Ballast or a warning canceller module. Both of these products will trick the computer in the car into thinking that a good working light bulb is plugged in, and not send pulsating electricity down the line!"

I think the new brake lock system from IES system uses CAN BUS system too.

I've heard flashing problem where M3 1.6L changing to 2.0L's headlight.
If that can be solve by installing a third party OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics) system, or CAN-BUS (Controller Area Network) to bypass the on-board ECU I/O signal, then we could possibly change the 2.5L's headlight into 2.0L.
Or am I dreaming?

i think it's definitely possible BUT it's gonna be a DIY project. You'll be spending a lot of time in the workshop since this is not a plug and play solution (since noone has done it for the new M6). A lot of testing to be done.

Neo_Y Are you gonna be the pioneer? To lead the 2.0 pack for the headlamp replacement?

I'm still in researching stage.

Hi calvin May i know what is this ?

wsc80 Brake lock. Press brake to auto lock doors. Our Mazda6 doesn't come with auto lock for the doors.

I think once shut off engine, doors unlock. Not sure if any members havent installed it yet.

But i was quoted RM350 for installation.

Can contact the following.

Bro, is this mean the car will unlock when our i-stop activated cause the engine also shut off?

Actually I never though of that. I also not sure on that. Have to check with the shop when I drop by.

But because this uses the CAN BUS system maybe the module knows when it's i-stop and when is full engine shut off.

Oh I see , how about the Pedal Lock any update ? My Soul Red is ready by next week

anybody has gone and put this system yet? if this works and didnt void any warranty.. it looks appealing to me..

Try to upload some pic but fail..maybe the size is too large..
