yesterday, went to naza auto solutions in PJ, to update my multimedia infotainment system (free). previous my shell version was 2.82.x, now is 2.89.5 already.

noticed that radio receptions is slightly better than before... and also i have requested them to unlock the video playing features because previously mine always displayed "ENJOY MUSIC WHILE DRIVING" tongue.gif

other than that, i am able to off the display only (standby) while others such radio still playing. previously, if i did that, the entire audio unit was off doh.gif

Found affordable universal back trunk flip up spring in Super Save (Puncak Jalil) for RM20.00 only! It come with pair of springs, and I only use 1 sufficient to raise my trunk (without spoiler). Installation is easier than what I thought.

Dear all, Just need your comments on the premium quoted by my insurance agent for renewal.

Car: Forte 1.6 SX (2012)

Year 2012 - Sum Insured is 82000 and the premium was 2371 (b4 NCB).
Year 2013 - Sum Insured is 74000 and the premium was 2176.5 (b4 NCB).
Year 2014 - Sum to be Insured is 67000 and the premium quoted was 2439 (b4 NCB).

Claim - made a claim at end of last year after a minor accident. Hit & Run when the car was parked at a shopping mall.

The figure doesn't sound very logical for me. Car value depreciated, from 74K to 67K but then there is an increase in the premium.

Thanks for your valuable opinions.

i got mine on january 2013 (registered as 2013 unit) but i know it is not a 2013's because my audio set didn't come with red LED (latest version) and no fog lamp + DRL. i asked my sa why my audio unit didn't have that because i told him that should be the latest version etc and i always read forte's thread here but he replied he don't know that lol i know he's lying at the moment but i really need a car at the time so... sad.gif

google search for car insurance calculator and do your own calculation..only way it can increase that i can think of is due to windscreen coverage (extra RM 270 if not mistaken)

Hi Bro,

May I ask how did they actually update your HU unit?
Did they plug a laptop directly onto the HU or did they use a USB drive and copy-paste the file(s)?

Also, did u manage to update your Navigation Software (i.e. SpeedNavi)?

Many thanks in advance for your answers smile.gif

hi all, since you have driven and tested forte all these years, can you share your valuable experience on the updated price of spare parts & maintenance costs?

for authorised sc:
1) Brake pad cost(all 4)
2) absorber
3) other parts

non-authorized sc:
1) Brake pad cost(all 4)
2) absorber
3) other parts


comparatively, is it more expensive than T & H for the same parts?

This is the commercial+residential area, not much landmark near by. You will find a Star Car Accessories shop at the corner (visible from the main road).

You also can find this from Google map:
