How about the sound quality? The OEM player is quite good actually.. Can it beat that?

i agree.. stock HU sound is good; bass level is decent.. am still on stock HU for 6th yrs now..

I'll add some photo soon, shop is in Klang. Shop name is SC CAR AUDIO ACCESSORIES SUPPLY. You can Whatsapp 016-369 9716 (Joan) for details.

Just some stuff to take note.

1. As usual they try to sell me tons of crap (speakers!, voltage stabiliser, carpet and other accessories but just politely decline if you're not interested).
2. Their workmanship is not the best but its not bad as well. Just a bit rough I think, and I hope they did not forgot any clips for the dashboard. So far no rattling sound so finger crosses. Haha.
3. They only got the Honda City 09' double din bracket, so the colour does not match with the new year 2012 City which is darker so the button really stick out.. I'll share some photo to show the difference.

if you are into audiophile, voltage stabilizer is worth to invest.. it help a lot to boost your speaker ability.. i have 1 installed in my car.. other than speaker, ur headlight become more brighter..

As for aircond, if its ain't broken, don't fix it. Save the money for aircond repair when it really breaks down.

bro, you sure bout this? im still holding this advise, 6th yrs now aircond still ok (touchwood lar)..

Ya, Imagine you perform aircond service once every 2 years. Cost to do so is about RM300-400. By the 6th year, you have saved about RM1200 already. Can use the money for aircond repair later.
*
what i gather from reading, aircond parts is very sensitive and easily to spoil if not handle properly.. so they advise not to service unless it blowing hot air or not cold..

Hi Sifus, planning to buy a new Honda City but having some confusions.

I'm confused to choose between E-Spec or V-Spec.

In V spec, what I like is the Auto Cruise, Airbags & Rims, HDMI, leather touch. is there any option to add in reverse camera without changing the touchscreen player?
E-Spec looks like a value for money choice. I would'nt mind choosing the E-spec if I got any option to change the E-Spec Rims to V Spec.
Is it possible? Don't want to buy a second hand one scared later got wear & tear issue.
But would'nt mind if could get a 2nd hand V rim that owner changed to other rims immediately after buying the car for modi purpose.

P.S. If buy E Spec I'm planning to get Full Hd player with reverse camera.

Please give suggestions on the price my SA qoutes me:

1) Modulo Bodykit - RM1,800 he said not ori from honda but very good quality from panel. - can get outside, there is one shop in avenue 8 pj, same quality as honda
2) Tinted - RM1,500 he said safety tinted 6 MIL, 5 years warranty, summons will be paid by supplier. - around that price, but can get cheaper outside
3) Coating - Rm1,500 Exterior + Interior Teflon coating 5 years warranty, is it really good as what SA is claiming? (shine guard) - dont trust SA on this, do you own homework because u cant tell if its really coating or just waxing

Thanks in advance!  thumbup.gif

all in all V spec is the best choice, not because of touchscreen/rim etc but it has side curtain airbag; this is most important.. ori rim you easily can get from mudah..

call to your nearest honda sc to schedule for airbag replacement. it's subject to the stock availability as well.
i have scheduled mine on coming Wednesday at Honda Bangi.
*
frenly reminder, i had to come twice.. yes twice.. 1st visit i have waited for 3.5hours and at the end the counter guy told me part no stock.. what nonsense is that?? what the heck they call and say part for my car already arrive.. i scold him gao2 (even not fully his fault) and request for immediate attend on next visit.. so 2nd time i come, i takes about 45 mins only..

so call them, triple confirm part ada then only you come..

because i went to tyre shop for tyre rotation and alignment, the shop says my absorber link already 'goyang' and my absorber seems to be leaking (the shops demonstrate when he touch the absorber it's oily)

he quotes absorber link for 130 each and absorber 250 each but not sure what brand. well, i'm a bit skeptical whether the absorber and absorber link is indeed to be replaced or it's just their way to fork out more money from me. huhuhuhu. i may need to check with other shops to conform it, maybe at the ar man autocare at ampang
honestly, other than the 'nyek-nyek' sound particularly in the morning, i'm not sure whether my absorber is in good condition or not.  confused.gif

my front absorber got that nyek nyek sound in morning.. i know mine already soft and need to be replace, 6 yr already.. absorber mounting is 55 and absorber is around that price.. ori honda.. maybe you can try ask hingan..
