Any chance to install apk into the entertainment unit.

No, for now it's locked. I can't even get into the about settings nor activate the developers mode. They really skin the system to be hack proof.

Is the extra rm14k worth paying for the bells n whistles of premium vs exec?

19 inch wheels
Nappa leather sunroof
Adas safety system
Extra electric control seat
What else?
*
if you can afford, go for it. TBH the safety features are tad annoying but teaches you good driving ethics. TPMS is really handy as all X70 comes preinstalled with overinflated tyres. Sunroofs are useful. Nappa leather, well its godsent. I have nappa leather on my other SUV, since sitting on to one, I can barely move to another car without nappa leather. it feels like skin. electric seats are useful for rear passengers as they can adjust the front passenger seat with a flick of the switch.

I tried to to search for aftermarket, yes they do install this assist cameras for backing up and parking, but does not perform like dash cam too, I am also looking for that kind, a 360 deg cctv so it will also take clips of sides, not only front and back
*
The infotainment system is unable to handle the extra processing. Appart from the usual entertainment, speech recognition, it has to process the ADAS, BSM, yada yada bells and whistle. There's no more room to process or record video. Plus there's no SD card slot. Internal Infotainment comes with 16 gb only.

Hi guys. Wanna ask for advise.

I already booked x70 premium, my bank loan is approved, and the SA said the car can be delivered on the second week of April.

But the SA forces me to pay full downpayment first to get the chassis number etc. I said i will pay all before i take the car, or a day before i take the car. But he keeps insisting me to pay now n sign bank agreement now to secure the chassis number for my car.

Is it really a normal practice like this? Because last time when i bought a car, i paid the d/p on the same day i take the car or at least a day before. Can anyone please advise?
*
Your SA need to pay full to proton hq to secure the car. If your dealer or branch is poor you have to fork out. Don't tell anyone I leak this info.

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Mar 29 2019, 07:15 AM)
Hi X70 owners, does Android Auto work with this car? Can it load Waze using Android Auto?

I went to see the car the other day, the SA told me it can load Waze by Android Auto. But afterward I read the car review and not even one say Waze nor Android Auto can be run, but all is Oct/Nov review so I don't know if now Proton have updated the software.

If it can't, how about using screen mirroring function to show Waze? Or it's too laggy to be usable?
*
Android auto can be integrated into easycon app however when the car starts to move or the handbrake level is released it will disable the screen. The only app allowed to be displayed or navigates are navigation apps such as waze or Google maps. Screen mirror does lag but negligible. Does not cripple your usage.

There are recent work around to allow apps such as youtube to be mirrored while driving. If you ask me, better install a phone holder then operate the phone screen. It's much faster. Premium owner will frequently have switch screen to 360 camera due to motorcycle or nearby obstacles detection.

You mean the HU will disable the touch screen for whatever app being mirrored by the easyconnection when driving? If Waze or G Maps also can't be interacted when driving? Or you mean it will totally not show the app being mirrored?

When auto switch screen to 360 camera will it auto switch back to easyconnection afterward?
*
will allow mirror on Waze. you can interact with Waze through the IHU screen. other apps or display will be disabled.

yes. will switch back automatically once the obstacle is cleared. pretty much like your reverse cam. They will show the location of the obstacle and also mark the distance and colour code the clearance

Good to hear that navigation app still can be use. If before moving I open youtube video, when car move the video will still be displayed but only can't interact with it? Or it won't display the video at all?

The nearby collision is quiet annoying especially at traffic light during my test drive, every time a motorcycle pass by it will make a sound and I'll be wondering what's happening.
*
Screen will be disabled

It will display the screen

Thanks for the info. At least it still can be used. rclxms.gif

Yeah.but I don’t use it. Better run a magnetic phone holder in landscape then use android auto to automate everything. Can charge the phone with fast charge, run the phone cooler and best of all respond and hooking up is effortless.

The one I asked no voucher, as usual sa recommended tint + coating package at special rate, RM3k for both and 1 tank fuel.

Those offering are from the SA not proton. Proton have their own accessories offering and they are not cheap.

Cannot let. Don't have AP and secondly the government will let likely to approve as it will cannibalize proton.

Red and jet grey were popular demand during the first batch. White was not so demanded. Ended up they reduce shipment for white. Cinnamon brown is the latest addition to the premium red family. Also low on demand.

Wait for another year then they will introduce the 1.5 turbo dsg variant . X50 or the mpv likely to come a year or two later. They will first introduce in the left-hand side nation before converting to right hand Drive

X50 already seen on the road since Feb. It's a definite possibility that we'll see more details about it on Q3 and launched by year end 2019 which is similar to the X70's development timeline. I suspect CKD plans for both X70 and X50 are already in Proton's memo before the factory is complete.
*
Nah, all those test run cars were there to create the hype and marketing. They will bring in the x50 but not so soon. X70 sales and numbers need to sink first before they bring in the new car. From a production standpoint it’s not efficient. They rather capitalize the LHD market first. China, Russia, Bulgaria and Middle East are all huge market potential. Malaysia sales numbers cannot fight them all unless proton begun to sell in other south east Asia nation.

There is update for ecu for the aircon burning smell problem. Remapping wont affect the update?
*
No, that is the HVAC system nothing to do with the ECU.

The next TCU update from proton is underway. we don't know whether it eliminates the gear knocking issue but by remapping the frequency becomes less. also your car will feel very light and effortless to drive

You already done remap? That is very low L/KM, is it after remap?
You say the TCU update, it being done at Proton Service Centre or it can online update? (sounds like HP or computer already tongue.gif )
Is the Executive model but with 19" rim? I think I saw two X70 with such rim but it doesn't have sunroof.
*
After remap the torque is up and the power is up. The transmission will lock up faster to overdrive, you will feel the car is lighter but holding a higher gear. I did a 0-100 sprint and it’s 9.2 sec. this is on a eco map. My tuner asked me to try the street map which I will do much later as I’m more of a fc guy.


Btw I’d youre interested can pm me for details.

Thanks.

anyway i dont understand why they have to remove the features e.g  voice when u push the eco/sport mode button?

Probably to save processing resource on ihu

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Jun 5 2019, 10:34 PM)
Just ensure ask them (proton) for a proper fix rather than this kinda diy thingy. At least their team will communicate with geely team as the hu are from them than proton.

Believe a proper software is the key to fix it. Not a hardware. But again, suprise proton do ask customer to perform reset by disconnect the battery as it will also reset the other things in the car.

Correct methodology is to use an order scanner. Not everyone got this tool.

Can install the 360 camera on the standard model? Any after market cameras? Thats the only thing i think is worth on the executive model. Others really no need...

No. Canbus module driven.

QUOTE(Twins10 @ Jul 24 2019, 03:31 PM)
I don't understand why the executive n std diff so much.  Rm13k for 360 camera, fake leather n 18 inch wheels??

If buy exec better buy std n add 360 camera after market.
*
You can but the video will look like crap. Plus you need to install another screen for 360 camera.
