I've tested smart tag (old version) with the tint and is working fine.
I've also tested with my house long range proximity card reader and is working fine as well.

I did my tint at the dealer side and they do provide me official receipt, warranty card and 5 years warranty period.
So if any issue / bubble / defect, definitely can bring it back to the shop itself.

Excellent workmanship and keep the car neat and tidy.

Actually the vkool tint you mentioned, i only managed to find 1 of it on vkool's website, do you mind to share the specs of your tint? And the shop you went to?

I will let you know the shop tonight coz the receipt at home. Can't remember the shop name. Haha

But you may refer to this website.
http://tint-shop.com.my/v-kool-films.php

I just remember my windscreen is 70, side is 55 with security film and rear should be 50/55 without security film.

Retail price i think is 2350.

With SA discount 15% and RM500 voucher.

I get it done within RM16xx.

Ya, it did slowly gotten less shiny through out 2-3 years later, but you have 5 year warranty, you can do it again anytime within the warranty period. And you already saved money on car polishing for 5 years.

And it also depends on how good you take care of your coating, if you did always wipe those dirt stains or bird droppings off quickly, it can last longer.

hope it last more than 5 years because my car is park in basement in my condo and this m3 is consider my weekend car (daily car is KTM train), hardly kena bird dropping but lazy to wash it these days unless i went for some long journey

even if the car hardly drive, when swipe my finger across the body also can see many black dust particles sticking on my finger

I think I might have identified the source of the problem - my USB car charger. It really does fast charging, even with an iPhone 6 plus and note 4 at the same time.

But I think it malfunctioned either because it got too hot or because of a faulty iPhone cable (known for their low quality original cables, but I digress), because I remember smelling a slight hint of plastic burning in the car last week but couldn't identify where it came from. Immediately after that I realized that the iPhone cable was no longer working. Then we could hear a very soft but high pitched buzzing sound, which stopped when the car charger was removed. The next day onwards, I continued to use the car charger with no problems, and a couple of days later the iStop sign kept blinking and the warning sign was lit.

I've not plugged in the car charger since yesterday afternoon, and the iStop sign has since stopped blinking and warning sign no longer comes on  biggrin.gif

So I went to Mazda @ Glenmarie, and it was indeed the battery problem. My car is 1 year old and 28k mileage, and I was told that the iStop blinking+warning sign lighting up was an indication of a weak battery.

According to them, turning off iStop will extend the life of the battery. First battery replacement is free (took 2 hours).

On a side note, I highly recommend the main centre in Glenmarie, because service is very friendly and good, and there is a lot of comfortable places to wait and work with laptop. They even walked to the cafeteria where I was sitting to inform me that my car was ready.

My experience with other service centres are as follows:

PJ branch: Very crowded and uncomfortable waiting area and takes ages to service car. But staff very friendly and helpful - I wanted to top up cash for fully synthetic but they told me that fully synthetic not so suitable for m3.
Bangsar branch: Very laid back, feels like a small town outlet, and somewhat dishonest (refuse to return excess oil from service even when I asked for it). Also my mileage was 21k+ when I sent in for service and they wrote 30k for next service. Tried to sell me fully synthetic for m3. Not friendly at all. But took only 45 mins to service car. So I don't know if I should listen to Bangsar or PJ tongue.gif
Glenmarie (the second centre further down from the main one): Some staff very malas. Some ok. Again, villager-level urgency. Car ready also don't inform - saw my car outside and asked them about it only say oh your car is ready. And they honestly were not that busy during that time. But of course when their superior come out suddenly very friendly and efficient la.

We can use fully synthetic oil if we want but for our type of car and usage it is a waste of money. The Glenmarie SC was honest enough to reject your top up request although the reason given is not exactly accurate. Maybe he didn't want you to waste money.

There are always people who believe more expensive = better like those who pump RON97 for cars which are not tuned for it. Don't fall into that trap.

been there 2 times, service okok la, but i hate the fat indian guy (not racist) attitude is bad, that day he even say m3 dont have SCBS some more say so loud until other people also can hear then i ask him follow me to my car and show him doh.gif doh.gif

got 1 SA there quite friendly, i go chat with him when i went for my 1000km service tongue.gif

their service is fast if not many car and i just walk in without booking, another thing i dont like is the location, i come from seremban that direction so after U-turn immediately have to take the left turn already, quite dangerous if a lot of cars

and the sc is quite small despite being a 4S service center, and parking space is limited

i got my car from there icon_rolleyes.gif
