Hi guys, did anyone exprience gps satellite failure over here? my GPS had not been working since the first day I received my car which is in June (no satelitte signal and the pointer remain in Bangkok). I have wasted a lot of time to send my car back to Glenmarie svc to check and they finally replaced my car's control unit with a brand new one imported from Japan last week and the whole process took more than 5 hours!

Unfortunately the GPS is still not working .... the satelittle signals remain as 0 for most of the times although the map is now positioning in Malaysia. any suggestions?

Wow.

Yours is the first time heard.. Could it be the SD card got problem?

Encountered the same problem after tinted my car. Apparently it blocked all the satellite signals. Went back to the shop and after many hours of testing they resolved the problem by installing a separate receiver...

The original receiver still remains inside my car but the Navigation system connects to the new satellite receiver somewhere near inside my car hood.

Some type of tint will effect the satellite signal to certain degree. Use Nano-Ceramic type tint instead.

People familiar with the industry have seen much advancement in the field, but none as substantial as ceramic window tint. This is a very durable product that stands above its peers in terms of longevity. It also has the highest heat rejection levels compared to other materials. It has double the heat rejection of hybrid and dyed products. Because it uses no metal of any kind, there is no interference with technology found in modern vehicles.
It is also of a higher quality and strength than other materials, and has the ability to hold shattered glass together better than its competition.

Many of the high-end metallic films cannot compete with ceramic window tint when it comes to longevity and durability. It is much more resilient when it comes to fading, bubbling, cracking and the ever so common discoloring after years of use.

1st ever heard~ no GPS signal at all

what tint u using?

I'm using Huper Optik

Windscreen: Sech60
Side: C40
Rear: can't recall

Sorry Care-Man, but it really happened to me

hmmm. I have v-kool elite installed including the sunroof also on my car. I am not too sure if its SD card problem or not, but I should probably check it out with the tint shop. sigh......

my gps is not working as well since collection (13/8/14.
updated the hardware then the sd card, still not working and sc said will report to HQ and get back to me on solution

called Sc today and they said they downloaded a latest software from HQ and ask me to go update again tmr.
will let u ppl know of my status after the update

bright side, went sepang this morning speed at 140km/h, easy, fast and furious, zoom zoom

Please check with the tint shop you went to and seek an explanation if you really suspect it is the tint. If the explanation is logical do post it here so everyone can understand.

Hi bro..Go myeg.com..pay within 15 days is 50% discount..i just made the payment for my summon at KL-seremban highway last few days

I drove my car for a week before i send to tint and navigation system was working fine.

They even tested the new receiver inside my car cabin but it doesn't work before install it outside my car cabin.
They said have never had this problem before and has spent hours to work and test my car.

Anyhow, I'm fine with the solution as long as my navigation system working and it doesn't void the warranty.
So far after 6 months installation, I'm happy with the heat rejection

Cheh.. 140km/h already boasting..

I go 180km/h in Sepang..

But can still go further if aint because of traffic.

Greetings to all Mazda 3 owners,

I'm planning to get the Mazda3 Skyactiv by year end or early next week.

Can you advise what are the pros and cons to expect from this car.

The most usual issue I noticed from forums and feedback is the tire noise.

Does it help if the wheels lower to 17" rims?

Appreciate your advise. Thanks for your time.

At least you know the tint works.Do what it is suppose to do and that is heat rejection.

Bro, if you are getting it, why not wait till next year to get the car manufacturing date to be 2015. At least your resale value won't be slashed when you are planning to sell it.

Changing to 17" rims will void ur warranty, confirm with bermaz, don't let ur sales agent mislead u
Loud noise from engine mostly, any low profile tyres will have similar noise, a good insulation will do if can't tahan

Proud owner of Skyactiv 2.0 Meteor Grey as of today!

I also planing to get mazda3 also ....
Any advise ....

Ya. Thought about that too.

Also heard about this Mazda3 being CKD.

Noted and thanks for your advise.

Will see how it goes once i got the car.
