Do you turn on USB debugging in your phone developer options setting? This is to allow you mirror your phone screen to GKUI screen.
*
Yes I did. It works previously then suddenly it doesn't work. Also it doesn't prompt me anymore to go into USB debugging. How do I turn it on manually?

Now anything other than easycon app will give me the license issue message. Anyway I don't really care now since I just use the navigation. I also don't know what caused the change, that's why I don't like factory reset or system update. Always issue.

Just went SC to check for the absorber replacement they promised me couple of weeks ago. No go, and no ETA. Seems out of stock situation severe and now SC don't dare to promise a date. LOL.

I also facing the similar problem, it just cant detect the connection to my phone after did everything i could.

Not sure if the problem you have is same as mine. I am able to connect, just got the no license to show on screen message. Check your cable and did you plug in to the right usb port. Also you need to enable whatever instructions that might appear on your phone.

It just a defect parts made by the local absorber supplier, APM. My car which received end of August, the same goes to others based on x70 FB car club, was installed with Geely absorber as the CBU from factory day 1. Many who had this absorber APM problem slowly get back the CBU Absorber spec under warranty, it just it takes sometime to get parts ready at SC
*
Can I check if you assume yours is Geely or you can actually see it from car? I am waiting for my absorbers, but truth be told the sound isn't serious. I got my car early Aug so I don't know if mine came with Geely one or not...

Thanks bro. I would assume the SC guy have seen it. If indeed it is Geely one and he still goes request for change, then cock up. LOL. I will check tomorrow if can see, if not not I will just wait for either the replacement or my next service in March 2021, whichever earlier. lol....

Well the selling points for X50 probably are L2 autonomous and auto parking plus the better position infotainment unit.

X70 for the space
*
Actually I was very tempted by this whole L2 thingy. But come to think of it, really not that useful. Might help prevent some accident etc, but seriously how useful? I for one do not use the lane departure warning, too noisy. Also up till now haven't activate the cruise control (don't even know how) or test out the emergency brake or ACC.

Now this L2 comes with automatic parking and steering back if you deviate lane. For the first one, looks cool and nice. But how many of us can't park the car ourselves FASTER. Not to mention the fear of sensor cock up. The deviate lane one might be cool, but until it is L5, I don't see how useful it is.

Over the long run, say warranty only 3 years for sensors... if they break down you will have tons of issues.

Personally I hope some dealers will be rich and aggressive enough to bring in Tesla and also build those Tesla station. I hope in my lifetime I will be able to witness fully automated self driving...

On a separate topic, this bloody EasyConnect now doesn't work for mirroring no more. Always telling me license issue despite debug mode on and all access given... Anyone else facing this too? And when is the QDLink coming? Android already has the app but how to install on our X70?

The geely steering L2 still require driver to touch steering after certain sec, so still need to focus on driving. The Peugeot autonomous can drove u even without touching the steering.

Weird that ur easycon not working. Mine on Huawei p20pro with android 10 can work great with it. Use it for waze, google maps. Interestingly on Apple it doesn't block YouTube after deactivate the E brake.

Done playing YouTube by connecting my iPad there for my kids. At least i can finish the 1gb data given by proton
*
I also don't know why. I tried reset the system, that's why I don't like to update the system. Always got screw up. BTW I am also using Huawei P20 Pro... And I remember I was the one telling you how to make it work? Now I am the one not working... no matter what I try. I give up. I will just use the phone holder I bought just for this car. Used to work if I activate it under Navigation, now nothing works. I don't know if it is because I updated the EasyCon app? Hopefully someday Proton will fix it.

Jz got my premium variant yesterday.

The sound system is really worse than my vios lol. Not sure if the amplifier is hooked up or not now. Bass is close to non-existence even after adjusting to maximum at my equalizer.

Driving wise seems to very rather smooth other than when i sudden floor the accelerator from stop (aka when trying to turn into small lorong opposite from big road) but i think this is DCT behavior, but still can be get used to since i switched from CVT in vios.

Also, the car is very noisy lol. Im trying to turn off some safety radar/sensor features to make it less noisy. Cant seem to find the one that rings for a bit when i drive past the speed limit though.

All in all, satisfied with the car, but the speaker system really needs an upgrade. Still not sure if the subwoofer at the back of the car is working or not lol

If anyone has done an upgrade on the speaker, can u let me know (in thread or PM) on the pricing and model of speakers that you did?
*
Your vios sound system got modified before? I was driving Vios before I change to X70, I find X70 sound system better. Blast the volume and you know what I am talking about.

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Nov 5 2020, 09:43 AM)
Just join Malaysia X70 Community (MYX70COM) FB. Plenty of owners had upgraded their sound system for x70, which just sound plain originally. Saw few have upgraded the HU with DSP (p&p) but keep all speaker/subwoofer as stock, they said had massive improvement. cost ranging from rm1.5k to even rm4k.

for me which I'm not an audiophile, I Can still stand with current sound, just radio sound was poor, spotify is ok imho.

the lane departure warning u can set it to a low level or off. but not sure if it will reset back (if off) after switching off the engine. As I found out the Auto High beam will back off after switching off the engine.
*
Lane departure once off will remain off. I disabled that ages ago... very irritating. Only thing I cannot disable (once disable all warning sound gone) is when things near your car this warning sound. Especially irritating when going through gate that's narrow. Sometimes while waiting for traffic, one bike flies past you and you get the sound warning... irritating.

BTW to all X70 drivers here, I drive around close to 300km plus minus on a full tank. Is this normal?

I realized the reading on the panel always off, xx L/km I don't think accurate plus the battery power indicator. Sometimes I start the car it is at 14.2V, most of the time around 12 to 13 something...

About 450-480km per full tank, where I hit highway mostly and city travel. Quite weird your L/km not shown the figure? Mine no issues on that, averaging 7.6-8.4L/100km based on meter.

Since many user i found from fb had battery low issue after 1 year plus, I just bought battery charger kit at home. Tried charge my other 2 old car, with 1 year & 1.5 years old battery, after charge both shown good voltage indicator.

Will pump to the x70 once get notifications low battery from apps. But since car still new, will letgo to sc if anything related to battery first since had battery warranty
*
Wow you can get so high km... mine just around 300km. Got show, it is around 12.6/km. My trips are short trips though, normally 3 to 15km. What I am trying to say is that the electronic panel not very accurate. The petrol indicator can suddenly drop when I start the car. Likewise the battery voltage and the mileage reader. Readings fluctuate so much I think it is not accurate.

The problem is lack of power coming from the HU, therefore pushing the EQ level down allow us to compensate with higher volume - that gives more power especially on the woofer. Either upgrading the woofer to Active one or even adding a DSP which gives more power to the speakers definitely help to bring out the potential of speakers..... The drivers are not great, but they are decent enough!!... for me at least
*
Firstly thanks for the suggestion. Can I check after 2 weeks of run in, do you revert back to normal v equaliser or keep the setting and up the volume?

One thing I don't like with this setting is those navigation sounds etc will be very loud too, and the hi proton assistant.

I think CKD DRL can be turned off. Go to the menu, it is one of the options there.

Hi all, I believe some times back someone reported one of his X70 speaker not working?

Unfortunately this also happened to me. CKD. My audio acting funny like having echo/waves, so after testing I found the front passenger side speaker intermittently produces sound. ie after one bump or turn, sounds come on and off etc. According to SA it could be loose wiring and he claimed fixing it would take time. ie quite messy.

Not sure if anyone here got similar experience? Not much feedback from FB forums. Seems like Proton really needs to up its game. My replacement absorbers after 3 months still no ETA, initially SC still boasted would come within a month... faint.

I also got. There are 2 things.

1 is the cover. Remove it and see if the sound goes away.

2 is the rear seat. This is the sound i have. Need to get them to replace the lock for the seats. You can test by folding the seat down. OR you can wack/tap the front of seat where it locks to recreate the sound.
*
Bro for my case no1 cover is not the issue. I believe I have your issue, no2. Seat rattling sound when slowing down or over uneven road or bump. Sounds like rattling from the side plastic where it holds the belt of the seat belt.

I went to SC during my service and told them this, but they asked me what lock? Can you elaborate on the location of the lock? I can get the sound by hitting the top of the back seat to get the rattling sound.

Thanks.

guys, is it wise to trust the SA? I booked my x70 on February 22nd. SA said can get the car within 1 to  1.5 months. Loan approved within 1 day after submitting documents. Just asked him today if can get within this month, he said not sure which month....doesn't sound good. He could have said next month at least.

The problem is my current car is giving some problems and I really need a car soon. If I wait, I'll be wasting some money in terms of:

1. Repair costs for my car: About 2-4k
2. Have to renew Insurance and road tax ins May 2021: About 1.2k
3. If the car takes too long to arrive, ie. after June, I'll have to pay for SST : 7k

Should I wait or look at other brands? Keep reading on the x70 groups that some who ordered in September 2020 still haven't received their car. Is it true?
*
Personally if I were u, ie I don't drive from point to point too many times, maybe you can just rely on Grab. Sell off your existing car before repair and insurance/road tax. As for SST, that one depends on govt. If within 1.5 months don't get the car just move on if you cannot rely on grab.

BTW I am still waiting for my 4 absorbers replacement, more than 6 months already. And apparently in the SC that I go, all customers face the same issue. So this is something you need to consider when getting X70 or X50.

Already need absorbers replacement ? That is quick, or is that normal ? Which SC did you go to if you don't mind sharing.

The earlier batch of CKD ones got local absorbers which are problematic. Apparently need Geely ones. JB one. Doesn't matter as almost all don't have stock... unless they lied.

I'm curious about the common issues of X70, thinking of replacing an old CRV. I know body and panel spare parts are one of the things. Any common mechanical issues or 'quirks'?
*
Just do a google and you will get the usual complaints. I must say after my 2nd service, they fixed most of my problems like irritating sound at the back and music related. But a warning, for some reasons they seem to have severe lack of parts. Things like absorber the whole SC waiting for more than 6 months still no stock. Only urgent selective ones get replacement.

I don't know if spoil at the beginning. Or even if it is spoiled. Just sometimes got sound when going over humps or slowing down. Alignment maybe affected by this too.

QUOTE(il0ve51 @ Mar 24 2021, 01:55 PM)
hi may i know what absorbers which are problematic feel? can share? im early CKD too.

Got keke sound when slow or over a hump. Intermittent issue, it seems the earlier batch they use local absorbers (forgot name). Geely one is less problem though some FB pages reported Geely ones having issues too. If your SC is willing to change, just change. Have to wait though, and I am still waiting after 6 months with no ETA. If you don't experience any sound, then ignore it. My car seems to have slight Alignment problem, ie car will drift to right if steering straight. Need to turn anti-clockwise a bit to go straight though not really serious. Not sure if absorber issue or just luck. I suspect even fine tuning will not help if the guy is not skillful.

BTW I really don't think the SC people are of good caliber, don't ask me where though. I think luck as to who you get randomly to service your car and if he is in the right mood. After my latest service, they fixed the speaker missing sound problem yet sometimes I hear sandy distortion that is like the voice breaking up or reception not good. My advice is, if you can tolerate the problem maybe don't fix. Because sometimes fix already got other problems come out.

Hi,

Anyone with X70 has already experienced issue with the aircon?

My aircon is acting up strange, need to adjust to 22 degrees to even somewhat feel the coldness (23 to 24 previously already very cold). Also today I found the air fan sound getting bigger, like need bigger fan speed to have air blowing out and having more blow air sound.

Not sure I am being paranoid or indeed something wrong with my proton? I think this will be my last proton car. It seems this proton car (when compared to vios) really has a lot of small problems here and there. The kek kek sound coming from my backseat still not fixed despite being sent to the workshop twice to fix it. Put tapes around the hinges, changed absorber, etc. Sound still there. And it is not that thing behind the seat that you can pull. It comes from the clip that clips the seat to be back.

The workshop people even lagi good, says need proton to teach them how to fix the problem. When I contacted Proton, they get the workshop to call me. Endless loop of horror.

Why not send it for warranty? If SC A unable to resolve yours, send it to SC B. For AC, found my unit cold enough for 24C on noon time, auto mode. Night time usually let it 25C manual fan speed 2-3 bar.

If you follow x70 fb car group, there are few area that causing the rattling sound. So u can start to initiate from there or again send to sc. Saw 1 post, he able to resolve his at SC on rattling issue. My car don't have rattling other than sound come out from my child seat.

The absorber, it is known issues on ckd variant. They resolve it by changing back to as CBU absorber under warranty. So far, the Semenyih SC done great on service.
*
I sent it twice (one time to change absorber one time normal serving), they can't fix the problem. Claiming proton needs to teach them. I doubt going to other workshops will yield different results since it is more trial and error. The rattling sound always come back after a while. Meaning when you drive out from workshop the sound isn't that obvious.

Do you mind sending me the link for those rattling sound? If I let down my rear seat, ie the back seat touching the bottom seat, then no sound. So it has to be the clip/hinge that making the sound.

As for the aircon I have to wait until the next service in Sep to change the aircon filter and let them do the inspection.

One thing I don't like about the workshop is that they always blast the aircon full when they try to fix the problem. I will see cigarette butt on the mat and the aircon always in full blast after I get the car. Once I got fed up and went in see how they troubleshoot, they actually on the aircon full blast. Not sure if this is what caused the aircon to act faulty. A bit upset now thinking about it.
