if you allow me to do so then i shall accept the invitation. LOL! BTW, did you lowered your car? I did lowered mine as well as change to a wider tyre, it handle better than stock. Now planning for 2nd stage upgrade on the the handling.

Haha no prob if u happen to be at KV area. The upgrade for stage 1 i would say is quite a huge improvement over stock, cornering at high speed no stress at all, the car just move along with the steering movement dont have the rear end of car like got "drifting feeling" anymore.
Nope i didnt lowered my car, only change to 195 55 r15 tyres blush.gif

Hi guys, from many of previous post knowing that many servicing at Senaxis.

I book a service with them using proton app on last week for this sat minor service but didint receives any call from them on the booking confirmation.
So on today i call them since they did not revert me on any confirmation and they told me to just walk in to service as long as arriving before 3pm.
Is this true? Because for my past 3 services at cose all requires booking and does not entertain walk in.

I did called them if u read my previous post...from phone call they say just come anything they will do for me including servicing etc.
Im just not comfortable why they cannot allocate a slot for me.

Anyway below is one of the google review for proton sc glenmerie.

"Made a call to make an appointment to service my car. Was told to just walk-in and no appointment needed. Went to the service center and was asked if appointment was made by the receptionist/ front counter. Ended up having to wait for more than 1 hour just to be called, detailing out about the service needed. They said they prioritize the ones who have made their appointment, I understand that but screw the operator who said appointment is not needed. Perodua service center is much better!"

i DIY my own head unit and here it is. it looks flush to like OEM, total cost

Head unit: 189
HU cage: 63
socket adapter: 38
steel band to custom fit:RM5
other tools like tape, foam :RM20
New Front speaker Sony XB163E 6.5 inch: RM99.5
FM amplifier :20
reverse camera and other wires included with the HU.

total RM 435

I would need to dissemble the head unit again to fix the poor FM reception, if you guys want , i can do a detail guide on how to install HU including how to route the cables DIY without any special tools needed. Also i will be upgrading the stock bulb to C6(i hope this thing is legal).

Things that i have come across when dealing with HU is dont cheap out, i pasang a china brand although most of the function is reasonably fine, as expected the sound quality is less, also i face FM having a lot of interference which i need to add FM amplifier to clear the noise.  My new sony speakers are indeed better but is performing less given the cheapo head unit, but by all means is not bad either.

Does it worth the effort??? A big no, i spend almost a day on this digging and prying, especially as i go along the way discover new things i missing and i need to buy, first the cage, 2nd the socket adapter 3rd the FM amplifier. What i gain is the knowledge about my car and certainly next time if i were to change a new head unit(i think i would, i learnt the lesson of buying cheap stuff), i can do it myself. if you guys want to learn the DIY i will do a step by step pictured guide when i get my FM amplifier later.

This is good, please do provide step by step instruction for others to learn and wanted to DIY one wub.gif
