anyone noticed if you switch off the car engine, lock the door, the orange gear knob light is still on?

just now mine still stay on even after i put my key fob far away from the car hmm.gif the gear is already at P, interior light, CMU and dashboard light all already switched off only the gear light still remain.....weird hmm.gif

btw.....i spotted more and more m3 in serdang area drool.gif

After 15 mins like that I go down and check the gear light is off, is this normal? Because all this while I didn't noticed the light until today

Here is the pic if it, took it outside the car so is kinda blur

Only the gps? What about smart tag? GPS is usually less problematic than smart tag. Did they claim these signals can get through before you tint?

One solution is to cut a credit card size hole in the tinting but this is the last resort.

Smart tag is fine. I never thought about the gps so I didn't ask them at first. But they say no prob with smart tag.
Phone gps is fine just the mzd gps can't locate my location at all.

Where should I cut the hole? Any one know where is the maxda 3 gps antenna?

behind the CMU, there is a speaker like cover, once you removed it you will see the GPS module, you sure the GPS is working fine before you install tint?

Definitely. As im using the GPS to the tint shop and only realize the problem in the night.
They ask to wait 2 weeks for the glue to be dried up first.
But i dont think anyhow related. Lets see how lo then. bangwall.gif

I tinted whole section of the wind screen, just make sure the dotted sections ( rear mirror unit) is not covered. I usually manually place the smart tag at those dotted section very time. I m using 3M crystalline 60. My 1st installation was crystalline 90 but it was too hot and it burn my face under hot sunny days, have to remove it and install the 60 instead ( $$$$ wasted)

GPS is able to pick up, like i said, just make sure u do not cover the dotted section next the rear mirror unit then you are safe
Observation compare 90 and 60 for GPS signal, detection speed is negligible. I found WAZe or googleMap is much more convenient than MZD GSP.
Just make sure you tint does not contain metals ( V-kool elite which i ve been using for 6 years is pain in the @ss because it just does not pick up GPS sometimes affect my auto gate as well)

I hope my explanation clear you doubts

Sometimes its more convenient to use the mzd gps like when im heading home, or want to find any petrol station along the road.
Hopefully its fine after 2 weeks else i might consider to retint the windscreen. Spend almost 3k for this v-kool elite.
Sad die. ><
