To existing X50 owners, may I ask on the following;

1. How much is the highest discount offered from the current official price for the X50? Can share here please? Specifically the Executive model.
2. Wait is the waiting period like now? I heard that it's about 6 months?
3. Any issues with the car worth mentioning, either positive or negative? Things such as drivability, acceleration, pedal response, or quality issues such as rattling and creaking sound inside the cabin when car is going over potholes or bad uneven road surface, noise from suspension, gaps between panels inside the interior etc. or anything else.

Quick response appreciated.
*
1. no way you able to get discount when there not enough car for every customer ( realistic say )
2. 6~12 mths, depend color and model. over than that still yet get mostly just claim already order but didnt get, but reallity is no order at all.
3. please refer this tered...there a lot pro and con...unable to type these all down.

Ok thanks for the quick response. Looks like this X50 is selling like hot cupcakes yeah. Demand overwhelms the supply. Up to 12 months waiting period? Damn..

This thread is over 200 pages, too many to scroll and check on the reviews of the car. Just browsed through few pages and mostly are talking about the HU or app only. Anyway, it's OK. I guess there are videos on Youtube on this X50 and one of the complaints is on the wind noise at certain speed. Not too sure if they have found a solution. Havent' read about any complaints on rattling noise inside the cabin and suspension yet.
*
because car delivery time quite depend on stock and the center you go.
I got mine in 8month, with 2 MCO lockdown inbetween that 8 month. if didnt lockdown, i probably get in 5mth or less.

wind noise technically unavoidable due to SUV size + bad side mirror shape design. my friends harrier that agak 50% more expensive SUV also suffer this issue too.

my unit have a bit rattling on driver side door panel already pin point which clip/location, pending resolve outside accessories shop.
new rattling i suspect came from the rear boot board, that hanging after you lift up rear boot. yet verify it.

as always i make comment like this. i came from almera n17, so everything stock from x50 is way way better..... whistling.gif

Pros and Cons depends how much you know about the car and its donor.

To me it doesn't meet my requirement because I know they took out quite a few thing from the Original Binyue like its 360 recording function, ambient light & paddle shifter.

But realistically compared with what we have in the market currently, try sit in similar price range SUV, the rest feels like a downgrade, even the reviewer said this with their first impression comparing with X1, so still the best choice we can have.

Biggest cons is of course it is a China Car that some people do not trust and combo with a Proton logo that its rakyat hate. That's why you'll see a lot complaints on X50 feature which people do not complaint about when it is on other car. Like example 3 Cyllinder & Turbo charged on other car all ok je no complaints, but when it's on a Proton X50 bash like the engine can give you free OSIM massage, while in reality the 3 Cyllinder on the X50 is much more refined compared to the rest of them, oh and suddenly CVT become more superior pula compared to our DCT. Now I'm waiting to see comment on the new reduced boot space of the new HRV, when X50 launched people bash its 330L boot space like no tomorrow.
*
what a big oof

HRV boot space already got comment 'its fine because it got hybrid'

Guys, together with LaiN87 we are trying to install app on X50 Infotainment system because I am poorfag/kiamsiap why not.  cool2.gif 

PoC has been done, so far we are able to run YouTube, Netflix, Waze and Spotify on the head unit.

We are still figuring out the easiest way for u all to do yourself.

Stay tuned.  smile.gif

No new ATLAS / GKUI gonna beat Android Auto / Carplay.

So i can install music player from apk, direct play it from usb (since HU only got 32GB)

I already expect "someone" will say got virus la, trojan la, hack la, etc etc.
If I suddenly stop online, remember Epstein didn't kill himself. So do I.
Based on the logic of the FOTA, as long it did not change /system partition (aka system file not changed). There are no reason for it to kacau OTA.
Frankly speaking, if tha OTA newer version allows APK sideload, I even happier.
*
hahahaha....

not that worse lah...
this actually what i expected when they manage to sideload apk. people eventually will find a way.

Guys, it's up in github.
Feel free to test and let me know if anything's unclear.
I'm bad at writing guides and documentations...

https://github.com/xeon1989/Proton-X50-APK-Installer

Oh ya, please be extra careful when you install APK from unknown source.
During the test, VirusTotal is reporting suspected malware in ES File Explorer I got from Russian group, so better download from trusted and known site.

i think app support would be better after android 9 update. (if acotech done it correctly and still able to sideload app)

wait.... let me double check with you see my PoV correct or not...



1. installing a file manager, so you can install apk with it later?
or
2. all apk install need to be done with script?


i think should be 1, because if all apk install with script. with the script you provide and user changing apk name probably will causing a mess right?

1 is correct

2 is not true, if you already have explorer installed then scripts not needed anymore.

Scripts mostly  needed for 1st time to get explorer or like me install everything in a batch.

Hope this clarified

I see... mean my pov is correct. will do it later.

where you get your ES file explorer? pureapk got 4.2.6.1.1? will it support android 5.1? (because 5.1 is REAL old)

Try search within apkmirror it will tell you the minimum for which android version and yes 4.2.6.1.1 will work as well.
It is upto your own choice of file explorer as mentioned in the instructions.

However if you are familiar with android environments best not to do it by yourself.

since i using huawei mate 40 pro, basiclly all side loaded. so basic 101 maybe ada.
i plan to install ES, then install thirdparty music player je. to override proton HU codec and EQ (because it suck)
other than that, i have no problem lol

Your apk list seems similar like the one shared by others.
If you are using other apk be sure to doublecheck via VirusTotal.com
The ES have 1 malware, Autokit have 9 malware. (Maybe is false positive but just beware)

ES and musicolet i downoad from pureapk drop into virustotal is 0/60+ ...i think it is fine?

Yeah.. I did that too from PureAPK. Should be fine.
Always check if it has malware.

I tested your musicolet it was not installing in my X50 as well. Try to use a lower version and see.

Try to install as min as possible. I keep mine to only Carplay and Spotify. Install too much will cause the startup to be laggy.
I don't even install Waze.
*
maybe musicolet too new using some new API that doesnt work on android 5.1.

will looking into old version.

Yeh. Keep trying older version until reach one that you can use.
https://shopee.com.my/Carlinkit-Wireless-Ca...76-e55d99ab1b41

I bought this one. Wired. The box firmware can update so considered original? Because imitation can't upgrade. Will brick the device.
You can opt for the wireless one. But I feel wired is better and cheaper.

1. You still need to plug in to charge unless using wireless charger.
2. Wired more stable connection?

musicolet i actually redownload and it able to install.

just minor problem, android 5 on HU seen cant read music library from removeable storage.

tried few music player also same lol

Hmm.. Then change to another direction?
Musicolet from phone > Android auto (Headunit Reloaded) > Then run based on the songs from your phone?

It's quite weird because the USB is already mounted. Why the music players can't read the USB device.. Those like ES is able to read.

I think I will only stick to Android Auto / Carplay and not using the native HU to run any apps.
Keep that as cool as possible, minimum CPU usage. Last as long as I'm able to have this car service me.

errr whistling.gif


i actually wanna try to use music player play music from USB stick directly without using HU shitty bluetooth protocol.\
because if straight using phone i can direct use musicolet, just it still go through HU shitty codec and EQ (even you custom flat 0)
so i plan to use musicolet codec and eq bypass HU totally.
i wont really use android auto because me most of the time buy huawei phone, and it get rekt-ed no android auto.

May I ask if the rattling sound from the driver's side door panel of your X50 has been resolved and the reason you need to bring it to outside accessories shop rather than Proton's service centre since the vehicle is still under warranty? Good to know the quality of the X50 is better than the Almera. However, from my understanding, Nissan cars especially Teana and Sylphy have good NVH and very quiet very minimal rattling sound. Perhaps Almera is different and lower quality.
*
i yet solve it since not big problem.
because i sent to proton, they cant 'recognize' problem and refit the panel. 2 days after the noise go louder.
then i elbow the panel it go quiet....

and the almera i mention last reply is Almera N16 1.5 NA. not the current 1.0T.
the 1.5 NA you floor the accelerator, the noise came in like kelisa EZI. NVH like 2004-ish car

Hand by hand video wont be provided by anyone.
Due to user need to know what they doing and bear the risk.

Xeon1989 and other i don think they will make a video, then random user followed the steps but their HU messed up and video creator take the blame.


Also, i will prefer lowyat way keep on lowyat, not somewhere else. So not to pulling some unwanted attention.
