1&2 - Yes you can.

Your first time driving a car with mileage gauge? The gauge estimation is heavily dependent on your driving style and real-time traffic condition, based on your average fuel consumption per liter.

Well, I think my driving style and traffic condition doesn't changed that much.

However, I forgot to tell that the first half (4 bars) of the fuel gauge only get me about 250+km mileage.
And now when it only left 2 bar it says 201km left? Isn't it confusing? Use 4 bars of fuel = Actual reading from trip 250+km. Left 2 bars smart meter says 201km.. hehe

Please don't use bars and the remaining mileage as any form of accurate measurement.

If you want to take out the headlight, you need to take out the bumper as well.

Two out of the three screws securing the headlight to the frame are located behind the lower bumper.

You need to dismantle the bumper to get the headlight out.

Hi guys, I noticed a mild krik kruk sound came from the rear part of my Preve when I drove it on an uneven road or passing a speed bumps.

At first I think it was the car jack that is located on top of the spare tyre, but after inspecting it closely, I'm pretty confident it wasn't it.

Any of you guys have encountered the same problem?

Secondly, after a week driving my Preve I also noticed that braking the car when it is in a slow speed also making a quite hard krik kruk sound. It it normal? What can I do to solve the braking sound problem?

Thanks.

Many thanks.

Had a look on the web on this WAZE.

If I understand correctly,
AA it runs on mobile or tablet
BB requires net connection (not just GPS connection)
CC gives direction to destination like the GPS in the car

If BB is correct, then not really suitable for me as my car does not have wireless net gadget.

Please clarify.

The other option is Here Map Here Drive.

He means just use Waze app through your smartphone/tablet. And yes, It requires a smartphone + data connection.

Or you could buy a Lumia smartphone and use the HERE navigation apps, it's totally offline - does not require data connection.

Or just get a standalone GPS like Garmin, TomTom, etc.

OK, I may buy one?

But I am not a good human. I am a bad alien. Aliens are very selfish, we do not give things to others to copy!

Well if it works, next time we could chip in some money in a group and send one car to update.

300+ is too much for a mere update, one could buy a much more content-reliable GPS like Papago for example.

Yes, come to think of it, I think they modified the SD card system such that it will only read their SD cards for the update.

Is this security breakable by an IT friend here? Ha. Any one has done that?

Yes, RM300+ for an upgrade is too much.

Whether or not it needs to be 'cracked' is a second thing, first thing first, nobody has sent their card for update so we wouldn't know.
