Hey yoh.

My sister has one, Executive 2WD, I help her sort out most of the thing regarding accessories.

Before getting the car, salesman recommend me Raytech with "salesman promotion".
In fact I would like to send to my neighborhood Raytech as well if they did not offer any voucher for me.
So is like a convenience for me cause they will Raytech worker to fit the tint at showroom also.

This package is RM1900 follow JPJ Recommended Visible Light Transmission (VLT) (The darkness of the tint, front 70% driver side 50%, rear 30%).

And I add one more layer of dark tint to all windows which is illegal. All windows cost RM250 more and the VLT on my car now is like only 30% driver side and 20% all rear windows. Front Windscreen is not included.

Thanks for this! I saw the IRR is at 80%, is this normal for tinting as i thought they are usually above 90%?

I not sure about this but the Total Reject Heat is more important lah, and from what I see the Ultra Violet Reject usually is 99%.

Actually I will doubt if all those data print on the booklet is true or not confused.gif

But at the end of the day you will feel like dont care anyway bangwall.gif

Unless you want really no heat feel, then u gonna purchase their top spec tint. brows.gif

Oh I thought you have the car. Seems not much info on this, even X70 owner not active in here.

Lanchio jaylim94 soonlee33
Can help clarify on my question about Android Auto + Waze and screen mirroring?
*
Someone summon me, I saw it, I answer ph34r.gif

Just to remind again that I dont own X70, that was my sister car.

Regarding the radio, they actually have an apps to mirror link your phone, called "EasyConnection".
I try it before, apps looks ok but cannot connect with the radio, I try it alot of way to fix it but still not working.
So still end up using phone for navigation. My style on driving is get a 2nd hand phone and just use for Waze with a telco card to work with lah.

Feedback about the radio a bit for sharing,

1. X70 radio is not so useful for the apps they comes with,
like the navigation/maps that use baidu. Since i'm wazer of course i'm curious on google Map navigation, actually Waze and Google Map navigation in Malaysia is the best because majority are using it, so that both of this company can get the real time information about the traffic info. Unlike baidu, just come in Malaysia and less user using it, they dont get accurate traffic information and they do not have update re-route map(eg traffic shut down on Jalan Tun Razak, KL, waze will route you to other direction).

2. 360 Car Cam, this is useful if your car is equip with, the thing is sometime you need it, it wont auto launch on the radio, SOMETIMES lah. But it still works well for automatic launch while driving.

3. There is the aircon apps, i dont rmb what it can do it, but actually will show the status of the aircon control lah, it should able to control the air-con on the radio as well, but you already have physical button d wo hmm.gif . That's why the "Hi Proton" can control the aircon.

4. They have a "Music" apps, that can play your USB, bluetooth, of course, and search song from their database. I suggest that you better not use the music apps to search for their free song, you can end up finish the 1GB data fast. USB download song and listen is the best or Bluetooth Spotify song pun thumbsup.gif , my sister use bluetooth Spotify for default.

5. You have a themes apps to change the interface lah, no this very boring kan blush.gif

6. Weather apps is extra bonus lah, i encounter before the gps+ internet not strong enough, cannot get my exact location for the weather forecast.

7. There is a membership apps, you can login into it and do nothing doh.gif But i assume once u register the ProtonLink(of course is on your smartphone) with your X70 or future car that comes with the features, you can really track where your car is going, what time the car is moving, from where to where (by baidu Maps), your car fuel tank level. What i cannot use is the remote control provided at the apps (lock, beep, unlock car boot trunk), even try it at my home with wifi connect for both car and smartphone is not working as well, hmm.gif doesn't matter is not important anyway, hopefully they can improve this features lah. Car Rental company like Socar and Gocar can do this also, I assume they can fix this.

8. Gallery apps, you wont use it, one day maybe in a rush you need to showoff your picture in USB, i think is useful for tht.

9. Video, I think most of the video you download from internet is playable from the radio by USB, but once u engage gear and drive, the video will stop. At the end, useless also, one day maybe in a rush you need to showoff your sexy video in USB, icon_idea.gif

10. I dont rmb the radio comes with internet browser or not. I rather use my smartphone for this doh.gif

11. ahh yes, there is a cleaner button to boost the radio performance.

Well one day I send to X70 Proton Service Center and raise the issue regarding GPS Navi will hantar me masuk longkang, and I talk about the map is from baidu is not well navigate, why dont ask them change google map (Waze is impossible to attach with official Android OS). But I know they will do nothing for it, so save yourself better than hoping them to feedback to HQ and wait for respond.

Conclusion,
On the first month driving the car, keep playing with "Hi Proton".
After a month, only show "Hi Proton" to those people who looking on the car[aka show off to fren], normally bluetooth connect and spotify.
Dont take it too serious on the X70 Radio apps, can't feel disappointing on the radio becuz of the 360 camera and bluetooth support. Otherwise the rest of the thing is pretty useless. cool2.gif


Cheers icon_rolleyes.gif

Sorry bombard you with many questions, just that seem not much people talking about this car navigation system.

I have few more questions.

If use Baidu maps can it show turn to which junction on the speedometer screen? Like Civic. Is the map updated like Waze/G maps where almost all shop/restaurant can be found?

Hi, refer to my previous post ba, dont give too much hope on X70 navigation maps sweat.gif

Wow very detailed explanation  thumbup.gif

The bold part, you say can't connect the "radio", you mean the sound? Sound still on the phone like what Lanchio said? Or you mean your phone can't connect to the HU/radio for screen mirroring?

This is why I can only use Waze, real time traffic info and re-route with accurate ETA. Beside Baidu maps only in X70 and if all owner using it it's still only 10K people vs Waze/G Maps that have millions of user in Malaysia.

Music unlikely I need to use their online, with all music in my phone is already enough.

Those air-cond, weather, gallery and video apps don't think will use it. My car air cond never adjust anything for whole year except the blower speed. Malaysia weather easily predictable just see the sky. All this while i don't bother see video or photo while driving, so nope.

Hi Proton I also feel just gimmick, if want to change blower speed or open windows it will be mush faster to just reach for the button. By the way the windows button Auto UP & DOWN only on driver side or both front or all 4 windows?

Hi,

Phone cannot connect to radio/ smartlink.

Windows auto up down I not sure eh, but driver side sure got lah, if you really need to know then i need to go check with my sister car.

Hi everyone,

another day I do the navigation testing on X70,

I found out that baidu Map get accurate as my Waze show in Malaysia recently. Hopefully it will get better in the future.

Last few month I visit China and I use their baidu Map, baidu Map will notify "Enter Toll Gate" "slow down to enter intersection" "Enter Tunnel", now is same here in Malaysia d.

Actually if baidu Map can get very accurate information regarding our Malaysia road traffic information, I bet it will be the best leading navigation.

and to someone who curious, when you activate the navigation, your dashboard will show how many km to turn which direction. smile.gif

Thanks for the info dashboard will show how many km and turn which direction. thumbup.gif
Does it also show the junction name like Waze? It doesn't have traffic information like Waze or GMaps?
Does it can show how many lanes are there and to take which lane, like GMpas?
*
Hi,
just km and pointer only, there is no other things on the dashboard d.

Traffic information is there, but accurate or not i didnt really notice that because while the time I drive there is no traffic jam. But if u mean like accident at somewhere else, pothole infront, then no.

And if you refer to the HU, how many km then turn which direction, you should take which lane when infront got 3 exit, it will be shown on the HU.

hi bero. im a proud owner of x70 as well. wanna ask u a question, when we use the baidu navigation, can we turn off the voice assistant that keeps telling turn left, right etc2? coz its a bit annoying when u listening to music the same time as u use navigation, the music volume will always go ups and down everytime the voice assistant tell the way.  doh.gif

Hi there,

If not mistaken, before you set the navigation, on the baidu map setting there you can opt for mute navigation.
