I did steps 1 and 2, but no sound from car speakers or my phone. which button should I press on the HU? I'm using Android though, no difference right

pair your bluetooth to your HU, on the HU Home, select Apps-->Bluetooth,after pairing on the middle left side of the current screen , U see "Mobile Media" i think so.... click on it, then use your media player on your phone to play via bluetooth.

anyone know how to change skins? where to download nice skins?

The sound produced from bluetooth is not that good, not bassy enough...and abit soft..... intended to use for phone call... better use AUX if u want nice surround sound..... im using AUX and thumbdrive... AUX+ipod/iphone super sound quality.... hehe.... the thing is sound produced from AUX very dependent to your phone sound system.

hmm.gif

means my conclusion is right d...coz i will sakit hati fork out 2k+ for premium tinting which gives same performance.....
but previously drive under the sun with 4 fan Low temperature..... i will sweat all the way till destination inside the car.....

The good tint will further keep out the heat from the car even at a higher set AC temperature, lower fan speed. You strain your AC less. I am not saying the tint you are using is no good as I have not used it before. What I am trying to say is the tint should work more than allowing you to cool your car in 60 seconds at 18 degC and 4 speed fan.

Actually everyone is copying everyone, it's just brand plays the price, human plays the marketing, so in the end it's just same thing different branding

Wondering any sifus here has experienced there is moment that the push start button not functioning for first two attempts.

My car is 2 weeks old. Got a freaky and scary experience when I wanted to start off the engine (i.e. press the brake and push the start button) but failed. I opened the car door and realised that the odometer display not showing any sign of power electricity (i.e. the wording of "door is opened" not shown).

I went out from the car and closed the door. I then use the smart key to open the boat. It was successful. Believed not smart key problem.

I opened the door again and saw the wording of "door is opened" was displayed again. I closed the door and tried to start off the engine again (i.e. press the brake and push the start button) but failed.  cry.gif

Again I opened the door and again the wording of "door is opened" not shown.  Never give up. I went out to use smart key to open the boat. The sign of power electricity came back again.

For the 3rd attempt and also the successful attempt, I could not remember what I have done, resulting in I successfully started the engine (using the same way i.e. press brake and push button)  sweat.gif . A bit I can recall is that I had moved a bit the wheel sterling (but can't confirm).

Until now I have yet to figure out what has happened. Checked the car manual and noticed that push start button not functioning is something to do with sterling wheel not properly unlocked.

After the above incident, I have successfully started off the engine for 3 times (to different location). Will this happen to me again? I really can't tell......

Go SC test the senario 20 times let them see

Thx for the info mates. Tried Shell today. Not bad though. Gave me approx of 9.5-10l/100km FC (City Driving) . Should try the power after 1k km service.  nod.gif

for more accurate reading , i suggest u pump full tank, 52liter full tank, reset your Trip A to record your total mileage with 1 full tank. That should be your average reading considering all those traffic jams and slow roads in KL unless u live in a small city with traffic jam free road condition.

Hi all sifus,

1)i just bought my forte 1.6sx last week. i notice that my driver seats got sound when i was driving. the sound is coming from the spring at the seats. any advice?
2) is it good if i go to highway now and speed up? my car is just 1 week.
3)i am going to have my 1st service(1000km), between mineral, semi syn and fully syn, which 1 better?
4) will the warranty void if i change speed navi to papago?
5)my FC now is very high, 13.5l/100km. i not sure it's the calculation is wrong or what. but i never reset to zero since i get the car. my mileage is just 100+km now.
I really need your help. Thanks.

1. Go SC complain.
2. before first service i drive below 80, even on highway i go 80 most of the time. 120-140 max just to test my alignment and balancing...
3. I get fully syn, coz im lazy go service.
4. I changed to papago already... its just in your SD card... Both Speednavi and Papago still inside the card. Incase need warranty i just change back to Speednavi and delete the Papago from the SD card lor, easy.
5. On Highway from KL to seremban i drive 80 all the way and rpm consistent below 2k, FC stays 8.9 all the way.. Higher RPM/Speed/consistent acceleration = more FC. City drive with jams mine can actually jump to 18l/100km. Your right foot is the cause.

Answers:
1. Yeap the spring. Maybe u can go SC to fix it, depending on which SC, they might entertain u...
2. Very common problem, they use foam to seal of the dashboard contacting the mirror. It makes your interior uglier
3. Weird problem, go SC check, maybe is the rubber seal..... or maybe u got door visor.

Problem 1,2,3 not experienced on my forte...><

Hello fellow fortezans!

I've been lurking in the shadows of this thread for a while now..and I'm pleased to announce I'm hoping to get my baby 1.6sx soon! smile.gif  However as this is my first new car purchase, I am still a little unsure and confused as to when and what I'm supposed to do now while waiting.  Hope my future bros here can enlighten me a lil  icon_question.gif

I've placed my booking with my SA in Kuching (yes, I'm East Msian) for 1.6sx metal bronze.  Loan has been pre-approved, but not signed. No deposit paid (SA is a friend of my parent's and he assures me there is no need for any booking fee yet).  Car reg no. not obtained yet(hoping to get it done n over with in days to come).  Car is expected to arrive end of August.  Now I have a few questions/doubt in the back of my head which I hope I can make clear with smile.gif

1. Altho I kept insisting that I only want the metal bronze(and the SA seems to know which color I meant..well he had a display vehicle to make example of when I was in the showroom), somehow the word "titanium" keeps coming out of his mouth..so I'm abit worried (since forte is phasing out) about getting a mixup in the color of my car!  How do I ensure, without first seeing my car, that it is a metal bronze?  Any documents to prove that?

2. When do I sign the loan agreement? After I get the car? After paying deposit? After seeing the car registration card?  Or any documents which I need to be aware of?  Don't wana risk signing an agreement and eventually being told that metal bronze is no longer in stock!

3. Can car registration number be bought/registered/booked before car arrives?  Shipment is from KL btw.

4. Thinking of whether or not to get tinting done.  SA seems to be able to promise me some form of tinting (cheapo one i believe  hmm.gif But before that, do I really need to get tinting done?  Car will be under the hot, blazing sun most of the time during the day.  How efficient is the stock solar glass on the forte?  Are all windshields & windows solar glass? Any quoted figure for the VLT/IRR/TSER?  Obviously when tinting is done, front windshield will most likely fail JPJ inspections  cry.gif ..so do I need to risk it?  I don't like the windows being too dark btw..as if I'm doing something dodgy in the car  brows.gif

5. Something of a personal/subjective question: Should I replace NAZA with K-logo or KIA emblem? Votes???  rclxub.gif Personally I prefer, KIA at the back, and K in front...but I would have to buy both sets of emblem...too costly!  sweat.gif  haha...
Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

Wah... essay writer... shocking.gif .. took me awhile to go through all of it.
Ur case same with me actually. i just bought last month. whole process took 5 days actually.

1. titanium silver = Blackish color silver || bright silver = Stainless steel color silver , not sure wat u mean by bronze metal. But only got 3 color to choose white, titanium silver, bright silver.

2. U sign your agreement during taking ur car that day, car arrived with the registration number actually, mine is jpj give number me, i didnt choose number. U pay your deposit when the car arrived at the branch, cheque clear into the bank account, they will only proceed to hand you your car and sign the aggrement on the spot, remember to check everything with the car before sign the vehicle handover acceptance.

3. Yes, if you want choose car Plat no. please do it before they register your name to the car and key into JPJ system, meaning do it the same time u decide to tell the SA u buying the car, they got a list of Plat no. for u to choose.

4. they give u solar tint. its cheepo, correct. Go do smting good, like 3M, LLumar, Vkool, Chameleon, Huper Optik, Rikecool, RhinePro. They mostly JPJ approved. if u on budget go get it from groupon. Else walk in customers usually get normal price quote.

5. I still using NAZA logo actually, if i change also change to KIA logo... reason? K logo is actually a logo for BUS & COACH Company Xiamen King Long United Automotive Industry Company, Ltd. (King Long) , i dont want to put a bus logo on my forte... ><

Loan agreement is between us and the bank right? Not the dealer.

Depends lor, some good SA they will help u deal with the bank agent. Then the loan agreement u can sign together with car handover acceptance, coz else u need to go 2-3 times to branch. Mine the bank already called directly to me and told me my loan approved so so my good SA broke few rules to easy me out haha...
