The car does not seem to accelerate when the car infront moves during a traffic stop when I am on ICC? Any ideas?

Also how close must the key fob be with the car to unlock it wirelessly? Could be a safety concern..especially if someone knows you are nearby and wants to enter your car

Push up(increase) the icc side. I think it will start moving

QUOTE(ycs @ Oct 26 2021, 06:45 PM)
if stop >3 secs, it wont auto move; then just toggle/increase RES/+ button ACC speed

Or can throttle ur engine abit.

I'm from KL area so not decided on this yet, also due to the fact that Crystalline would not work with Smart Tag and don't like a small cut without tint/with different tint, I held back a little on this.

BTW how long it takes from the date SA register your details with chasis number available until you get your car?
*
I am using crytalline without small cut. It can work but got trick. Hv to move really slow almost to the stop. My case it will show no smart tag then after that ok already.

But best solution use rfid lah. Hopefully plus highway can implement it asap to all entry/exit point.

I did PPF on headlamp with 3M Scotchgard. Price range ~RM500 for headlamp alone. Full car I got quote ~Rm16k so can forget it hahah.

For coating, endless debate. Personally I wasn't convinced and ended up not getting coating and instead committed to wash every 2-3 weeks and wax every 6 months.
*
I actually wanted to get my own ceramic/graphene spray waxes and do it regularly but since my car is white and after reading how it will turn yellow no matter what, I decided to give it a ceramic coating (way more concentrated than spray waxes) to prolong the white colour.

Currently, there are hardly any products in the market that offer good uv protection. Ceramic coating is the best and most accessible option here so I went with it.

Too bad RFID not widely available KL yet, we get like only 1 RFID lane vs 3 Smart Tag lane for same toll booth and very often RFID lane is having longer queue than TnG.. Although RFID is the future, that being said like more than 3 years ago but I don't see any obvious transition sad.gif

A quick check where was the most ideal location for RFID sticker? Headlamp or Windscreen? Last time when I install on my car they tested windscreen not suitable because of tinted, wondering would Crystalline or any tinted will have that problem or not and end up install on headlamp hmm.gif

3M do have another series of tint that works well with smart tags, which is called the Ceramic IR, it has a blue-ish shade compared to Crystalline with a charcoal shade
TSER is quite good too but abit lower than Crystalline

I've got different experience. I find RFID lane shorter queue & fast to clear than Smart Tag & TnGo lanes. Love the convenience of auto top up & e-wallet gaining more acceptability with business retailers, wet markets, etc.

Only highways with close toll systems belum implement RFID, namely PLUS & LPT. LEKAS closed system already implemented RFID

Mine is stuck on headlight. Now I want to polish my headlight but wondering how to retain the RFID tag. Put tape over it cukup? hmm.gif

or you can just open the window and stick your smart tag out for best chance to pass the toll in one go XD

Yeah notice that as well but the TSER and IRR seems a bit below par for its price, but of course this is 3M yo

My toll usage mostly at LDP most of them RFID got long queue sweat.gif
My TnG card is also linked to tng e-wallet with paydirect, as long the toll support paydirect it will deduct from e-wallet instead of card icon_rolleyes.gif

That's the problem on headlight installation.. if not mistaken once sticker removed from headlight it is either not usable anymore or not sticky anymore, that's my previous experience with RFID tag on headlamp, warranty change headlamp but sticker can't carry over..

Not to say Windscreen will be safer, if say one day windscreen crack you will also face same problem rclxub.gif

On the bright side the sticker not too expensive la

Most of the time should work well, but you know sometimes when tangan feels like kaki that time, maybe the smart tag could fell on the ground rclxub.gif

I just got graphene coating for my white car tho, heard that it is somehow better than ceramic coatings with similar price so i gave it a try. The warranty was given by Cerakote Malaysia instead of any respective detailing shop, so even if the shop went out of business you can still contact Cerakote to arrange you to other certified shop for warranty/maintenance (at least this is what they stated), compared to the usual ceramic coating which warranty is given by the shop itself unless you went to reputable shops but usually the price is quite high..

My cars semua put on headlamp. Read in fb those rfid pilot user said windscreen slow detection since if install at headlamp the sensor can pickup earlier due to the location itself.

I am lucky I guess? Mine hv shorter rfid q and some frequent rfid hv dedicated lane.

I put the RFID on my upper left side of outer windscreen as I put PPF on headlamps, so can't put RFID there. Note that you can't reuse the RFID sticker; once you tear it (e.g. replace PPF at headlamp), need to buy a new one.

BTW, anyone figured out how to turn off "Hi Proton" voice activation?

Today got the chance to really drive the car.

Love it when turbo kicks in at low revs. Very addictive for sure.

I didn't noticed the whistling/ howling noise at certain speeds as I was too occupied talking to my mum.

What I noticed was the cabin was considerably quiet. That was why the discussion went well.

Aside from the limited adjustability of the right side mirror, I hated the low definition of the reverse camera & the line indicators were not as accurate as I want them to be.
Need to get used to it.

Gonna have to get used to the DCT characteristics. Gear change was considerably smooth during steady driving.

Built quality was alright.

probably can change the reverse cam module with hd ones? hmm.gif

You can request replacement FOC, but only once. If one wish to change RFID from old car to new car, just request replacement tag for free.

As for disabling Hi Proton, the only way is to unplug the mic as far as I know.

My assumption proton lock the quality thru software. 😅

Most people get the 70mai A800s/A500s with rear cam because it seems like the best bang for buck.

If you have budget for some high quality ones like Thinkware and Viofo you can check the dashcam forum here in LYN

Yep I got the 70mai A800s; cost ~RM500+ including rear cam RC06, SD card 128GB on Shopee and installation cost at shop (significant discount since I also did tint there).

I heard Thinkware is like RM1.4k or something.. out of range lah lol.

Yeah saw some mention over that thread and they prefer capacitor instead of battery operated 70mai, but discussion doesn't seems active there despite this is somewhat a compulsory add on for today's market

From 70mai site it appear for parking function to work, need to add optional Hardware Kit for Parking Mode, means it is tapped to fuse box to use car bettery instead of the unit's battery? Wonder would that cause car battery to flat even faster hmm.gif
