That's why I very much prefer the organ type accelerator pedal instead of this suspended type pedal. Much safer and better in avoiding objects stucked underneath/on top of it. Unfortunately organ type pedal can only mostly be found on conti/premium cars. But some non premium cars such as Kia/Hyundai also use organ type accelerator.
Eh.. I remember the 70-80s Corolla have this pedal.
Is Obsidian Blue Pearl color hard to maintain like balck color? I don't see much CRV on the road with this color so it's either not popular or too popular that it's out of stock 😅
Any advice ?
All dark color are the same. Hard to maintain. Mine is obsidian blue pearl
The resolution on these camera are very low. U can't see clearly the traffic behind when u are backing up, where else my after market camera on my previous car can see clearly. They cut cost on the resolution to make way for 3 angle view.
Agree... even my lousy Toyota player has 10times more clarity than CRV one
Is there an option of a good quality PPF for the headlamps that gives smoked effect as well?
I'm not expert in this field tbh. From what I know usually the high quality PPF comes with clear colour. They are ridiculous expensive, can't afford to wrap the full front of car
Maybe I see those cars wrap their headlamp with cheapo film turn ugly black. Wrap better or treatment? For wrapping do they have to take out the fog lamp to do it?
No need to take out the fog lamp or headlamp to wrap. Just wrap over and cut the excess.
A front camera, I'd understand..A dashcam is typically an install and forget and doesn't really need to be connected to the HU.. The vehicle's HU is very delicate stuff. It's my understanding that tapping into or routing stuff to the HU will make you lose the warranty. Unless you plan on removing such mods before sending in for warranty claim. No idea where to find such as too much hassle.
I saw Pioneer dashcam before comes with two parts. One is the small camera unit and the main electronic controller where. You can hide inside dashboard. The you need to connect the RCA video in to the HU.
Get my car today. So far so good The power are sufficient for me even in Econ Mode. The car is very agility for such a big SUV
Welcome on board.. I used to drive B segment car, straight away jump to this car.. it is a huge upgrade to me.. overall satisfied with it. High quality in and out. Very quiet and agile ride(though the car seat is abit hard)
That thought does cross my mind. What is a mid-end Android that will do this? I think I don't need those high end - I am not replacing my iPhone. Just thinking of supp a line and get a mid-Android phone for this purpose. Crazy?
Ops.. bad fruit always has very limited functions.. it is time to move to andriod..
Nope, that is very unlikely. one would require a hardware upgrade for that. It's more complicated to achieve the speeds and reliability that a wired connection offers. Take Bluetooth-car connections for instance, it has been around for quite awhile and yet even today, there are still pairing or usage/compatibility issues. And this is for "relatively simple" tasks such as to make/receive calls and play audio. AA & CarPlay do much more and require more processing.
A more easily achievable upgrade option for current vehicles could be like a dongle that is plugged into the car's USB port and wirelessly connects to the phone.
Alternatively and if compatible, here's an after market option. Should you be feeling adventurous to swap out the current one..
Yeah, while wireless is definitely the way forward.. But it is not easy for it to be implemented especially given the adoption rate of wired AA & carplay. Car manufacturers are still dragging their feet to adopt this. Why? Well, part of the reason is that they've done a lot of R & D into their own HU, software and integration with vehicles. Can't just up and abandon em. Then we have to think about stability & security as well. A car can be a dangerous tool, by opening up wireless, manufacturers have to worry about new exploits, etc. Doing all this will take at least a couple years to iron out the kinks. I'd wager at least 5 - 10 years.
I still prefer using the USB cable anytime. In this way I can maintain my phone battery level and operating temperature. My old car player support wireless mirrorlink and that is horrible, my phone is hot and also battery level dropped too fast just for a 1hour trip.
