Hi guys, I've been driving my new blue Suprima for about 3 weeks now. And am noticing a rattling noise coming from the back of the car whenever I go over bumps at speed. I think I've pinned it down to the inner plastic boot lid cover, pictured below.

Anyone having this little nagging issue? Small problem, but it's annoying the heck out of me.

Didn't notice it in the first week or so. Unsure if it was already present, or recently cropped up. Car is 2013 model - got it with 8k discount.

In case anyone wondering - first suspect was boot cover, but no amount of DIY cushioning helped. Remove the boot cover and test drive, noise is still there. Tried checking the boot flooring, and cushioning the wooden panel. Even removed it and test drove - that's not it either.

No I don't believe it is. Tried lowering all the way flush into the seat - noise still there. But will check it out again. Thanks for the suggestion bro.

I get that clicking sound too. Should only be present when your gear is in P. I'm no expert but doesn't sound like a problem/unusual.

Unfortunately I think my 2003 Waja's speakers were better I'm no expert either, but I get distorted bass at around volume 15-ish (depending on song). Thumping bass beats are on the soft side and sound a little "distant". Turning the speakers way up for more "thump" - will only have you quickly turning it back down again thanks to the unpleasantly booming & slightly distorted bass. Mids & highs are OK, but you'll notice the clarity difference in a side by side comparison with other decent systems. But I wouldn't call them muddy.

The speakers have gotten better after a little running in, but I'm still a little let down by them.

I have no idea how good a head unit the stock one is in terms of audio quality. I'm sure changing it will do wonders, however have yet to read about one which fully offers all the functionality of the stock one (reverse cam, front & rear parking sensors, etc). If I'm wrong about this, hope someone can correct me.

My opinion - I could live with the stock HU & speakers but would upgrade once saved up enough, and if third party ICEs can replicate all existing functionality. Maybe after a year, or less.

Anyone having problems connecting via bluetooth? I'm always having problems with my Nexus 7 (2013). Usually it connects after I give up trying. And don't know how it's done.

Also when playing movies and streaming sound to car HU via bluetooth, I get a 2-3 second audio lag. Is this normal? Only other ICE bluetooth system I've tried is a 2011/2012 Nissan Sylphy's - without any lag.

khairil. Yes I am still on 7.07. Will try to get it updated soon, hopefully that fixes all. Have read good things about it. What else does 7.26 fix? Things I've noted below.
- Clock in BM
- Random function not that random
- Retarded "Mix" option that only mixes within folder
- Random freezing, unable to turn on (rare), screen alignment displaced 1cm (but it's not actually turned on yet)
- Screen timeout not working

Thanks bro, will try leaving it to auto connect. 2-3 second audio lag as in all the time. When changing songs, when watching movies. Video is the best way to see the lag in action. Not jerking, just a consistent 2-3 second delay between video and sound.

I went to COSE couple of weeks ago for first service. Brake judder problem fixed by replacing brakes. No question or dispute, I didn't even request it. When they heard about the helicopter sound, they knew what it was and said they will replace it.

Yes I've been having that exact same issue! Only over bumps or bumpy roads. And it doesn't happen all the time. Thought I was alone in this! I posted on this about 2 years ago, but nobody seemed to have the problem so I thought it was an isolated thing. I've had this same rattle from Day 1. Have tried DIY cushioning the removable shelf as well as cushioning other plastic parts, but all in vain so I don't know if it's the shelf, or a concealed plastic part inside somewhere. I've sent it to a PJ service centre specifically on the issue but they couldn't fix it. Could be malas to fix, as these things can be difficult and tedious. I've more or less begrudgingly accepted it - problems of buying a Proton.

I am now having 2 other noise related issues.

1) Very annoying & loud dashboard rattles, minor side door and B pillar rattles. Suspected cause - engine & CVT mountings need to be replaced. There is a notice sent out to Proton service centers on this, but likely that they didn't tell Suprima owners.

2) Clunking/scraping noise from rear brakes when braking. Suspected cause - calipers or brake disc problems. Apparently there is also a notice for this so service centers are aware - but again owners are not notified.

I'm still waiting to send my car to service headquarter to hopefully kautim these issues. Not sure if they know how to sort out the back shelf rattle problem. Anyone else experiencing the above?
