totally understand how u feel. i just got back my car for 2nd service and didnt really like they use the car for personal aircon room and juke box. Got shock twice after receive my car, 1st is start engine, the sound of max aircon blower n temp, then the radio is 5times my ori vol when i hand over. They didn't even take liberty to off my aircon when hand to me plus 5x vol? is that necessary? and i have to readjust all mirrors and steering height. Outside workshop they just need adjust seat to drive in workshop, not all settings whereby i am the very particular type in seats and settings, took me 15mins to readjust my satisfactory. i understand workshop is hot, and seat adjust, but atleast off it for me. sc really treat your car for joy with 5x volume. duh.

by the way if anyone wash their own car, don give sc to wash, can see they dont use good soap, not even moderate. plus, if switch tyre, don give sc too, it is more than outside workshop n better make a marking as prove if they forgot to switch, u have proof.

I noticed that too when I got back my car from PJ SC. Avg consumption did increase, but not as much as yours though. Noticed that it was probably about extra 10km, but I guess that's probably when they took it for tyre alignment and balancing. My scratched rim on the front right was still on the front right after I collected. Not sure how they did the balancing. Was expecting it to be on other sides of the car or replaced by the spare tyre. Carpet was also not properly put back in place after washing, look like they were just thrown back into the car. And the best thing was when I collected the car, they told me my car was in front but it was not there. I had to walk all over the SC just to find my car only to find it parked at the back. Overall not really the best experience there

Hi guys...anyone know what is the brand name of our stock HU 8 inch ? I cant seem to find out what brand is it. The manual book only stated multimedia information system..

It is an OEM product. You won't be able to find the brand as Naza has a contract with the supplier and they enjoy exclusive rights on the sale and marketing of this product for K3 in Malaysia.

Looks like I'm not the only one who suffer such poor experience with this PJ Red Cube Service Centre. After posting that other day, I decided to submit my complaint to KIA and I did that through online here at http://www.nazakia.com.my/support/contact-us/

I received a respond couple of days later and a follow up call back. At least KIA listen to customer feedback and they willing to take action in improving their service. I've been driving the car for more than a year and I'm a satisfy customer despite countless people warn me about Korean car. I'm a happy customer until now and I'm sure the SC deserve a chance to improve their service.

I look forward to my next visit and I hope things would become better this time.

Alignment can be fixed during the first service, remember to highlight this to the SC concerned.

I found this reply in the internet on the subject that you brought up:

A GPS-based speedometer is only accurate on the flat. On a gradient it under-reads, as the surface distance (and therefore speed) is greater than the horizontal distance). Also, it cannot work if it cannot see the satellites (e.g. in a tunnel).

The regulations that car manufacturers must adhere to in order to sell their cars in the major markets do not allow speedometers to under-read, but do allow them to over-read by up to 10%. This is so that if there is a 30mph limit, and the driver assumes the car speedometer is accurate and sticks to an indicated 30mph or less, the driver is not exceeding the limit. It also must work at all times. A GPS-based speedometer cannot meet these regulatory requirements.

Therefore, to err on the side of caution and keep their cars legal, most manufacturers develop speedometers that over-read by about 3% with a tolerance of about ±1% on new tyres (as the tyres wear, or if the pressures are too low, the amount of over-read increases).

For customization, refer to http://priuschat.com/threads/ottonavi-hu-h...-the-ui.103351/
