QUOTE(biggie @ Nov 5 2015, 08:50 AM) I absolutely share the frustration with this audio installers. After my last was ruined due to so called professional jobs, I only install audio mod after the warranty. In the case of Nilai Eleven A, I sat with them for 4 hours for DVD installation in my Exora, and from my observation I will not let them touch my Preve as yet. However on I can recommend the Nilai shop, its cheap, the installer know their job, but depends on time of day, just that you need to ensure that they are careful not to break anything. The support is good, I came by few time (it has been 2 yrs already) to update GPS Map (free), and other setting questions. I can't comment on the installer job for Nilai's ELEVEN A AUTOMART SDN BHD, but I have to admit that their staff are helpful and polite. One of them, Shah, had even offered to connect up onto his demo rack and showed me the display and function of the DVD player (to compare with my existing set) despite having told him that I had already installed 1 in my PROTON PREVE. I believe if for other installers/sellers, most if not all, will not even be bothered to entertain you after learning that you have already installed and is no longer interested to make another purchase.

QUOTE(winners8 @ Nov 4 2015, 09:55 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « An Off-Topic discussion here, but for those who intend to upgrade their Head Unit, please be aware of the shop: MAX AUDIO ONLINE SDN BHD and their installer: MAX AUTOMART. They are both located in KL.
I had bought a DVD player with GPS from the former and installed by the latter as recommended by MAX AUDIO ONLINE SDN BHD as their appointed "Professional Installer".
I had paid RM1,500 for the set and another RM80 to the installer for the installation job. Later, I found out that another shop in Nilai: ELEVEN A AUTOMART SDN BHD, is selling the same thing for RM820, inclusive of installation charge. Also, the GUI and Firmware Version from ELEVEN A AUTOMART SDN BHD are even newer (later version) than the set from MAX AUDIO ONLINE SDN BHD.
Although I will accept the exorbitant charges which I had paid (for not doing my homework), my greatest grievance was that the installer had done a very bad job from the beginning. After the first installation job, I later found out that the 12V live wire was not connected and hence, the system's time and radio pre-sets are all erased when the ACC is switched OFF. Also, the wires of my front left tweeter had been wrongly connected to the rear right speaker. Finally, the view from my reverse camera was also flickering during operation whenever the brake pedal is depressed. This is the type of outcome from their so-called "Professional Installer".
I had to return to their installer the next morning to rectify all those problems. During this second trip, they had even broke the pivot pin on the dampener (to slow down the lowering effect) of my glove box. So, the dampener could not even be connected because of the broken pivot pin. They don't even have the courtesy to inform me, but had kept quiet about it. I only realized it when I had wanted to tidy up the wires behind the set by myself after 2 days. I was also very sure that the pivot pin was broken during the second trip because I had taken some photos of the same area during the initial (first) installation job and the pivot pin was intact and in good condition. Mind you, my vehicle is only 5 months old.
I'd also have some setting problems which I needed clarification, but the seller would push the responsibility to the installer and when I inquired to the installer, he promised to revert to me after their own testing, but eventually, I don't receive a reply from them even after a week, not even an SMS.
They had both given me the feeling of a really bad service and a big letdown I would say  Which model did you buy? In the past I always bought and sent to authorized SC to install a HU, although some SC did not offer that service.

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Nov 5 2015, 06:54 PM) Which model did you buy? In the past I always bought and sent to authorized SC to install a HU, although some SC did not offer that service. It's 1 of those unbranded model from Mudah. 4 months ago, I had already replaced the original BLAUPUNKT HU to a SANSUI HU, which is so-called "branded". Later, I found out that the SANSUI HU has 2 major problems: the PAPAGO volume is too soft and hardly audible unless I increase the main volume. Then, the radio's volume will become excessively loud and I fear it may damage the speakers. Also, the PAPAGO software is not stable and will always hang after several minutes of operation, especially when using in conjunction with the MP3 player. It's not the PAPAGO MicroSD card's problem because I had used the same MicroSD card on other players and it had worked fine. I suspect the SANSUI HU's RAM memory is insufficient or faulty RAM memory. I had already sent it back to the shop for repair and will see what's the outcome later. The reasons why I changed the original BLAUPUNKT HU are because they don't have the socket to connect the rear view camera and also, the SD Card can only support up to 16GB whilst I would prefer to use a 32GB SD Card. From my knowledge, the PROTON SC will never offer you alternative HU replacements because they don't want to be responsible for voiding the warranty. Even when I asked about installing the rear view camera on the original BLAUPUNKT HU, they also said they can't do it, but asked me to go to those car accessories shops myself and at my own risks. These 2 HU replacements had cost me near to RM3k already.... Sigh... I'd really regretted not removing my iMAX HU from my ex-PROTON SAGA when I traded in for the current PROTON PREVE. That HU (also with PAPAGO GPS) was working well with no problem at all. The only disadvantage is that it doesn't have Equalizer setting, but then, cannot expect too much from a RM700 unit.

Got do balancing? probably few root cause: 1. balancing 2. tyres (after do balancing and still slightly vibrate, meaning your tyres not so good already.) tyre might uneven surface. mine 30k go do balancing, tyre shop show how uneven of my tyres.. stock tyre GT Radial really not so good.. 40k time i would change all to Michelin PS3 or P3ST.. alignment should not be the case.. |

im planning to add full leather seat installed by proton panel for 2.8k. is it worth it or should i just stick to existing fabric?
also fyi, have been driving 2008 savvy amt for couple of years now. a very fun car but reliability is a bit on the low side. time to get a new reliable horse.
cheers! salam.

Finally made my decision, just booked a Preve CFE at Autofest today. Now waiting for the SA to submit bank application and wait for bank call... Anything I should take note of? Anyone knows where I can trade-in the tire? Any tire shop outside also can trade-in? I'm planning to change the tire to Conti CC5 once I get the car, so if you know where to get it cheap please let me know too.  |

So tomorrow my Preve Auto Exec will be a week old.
Since the first drive out of the showroom on the way home I noticed that the brake discs were warped.
Very disappointed that a brand new car could have such problems.
Been to a few SC's but they all passed the buck to their hq.
Appointment tomorrow morning in Shah Alam.
