3M crystalline working great for me Let me know if you looking for authorized applicator in northern region.

Protip: maybe don't need 3M CR on sunroof; after ~1 week, I really don't see upside aside from peace of mind. Furthermore, sunroof tint not covered by 3M warranty. So next time, I probably will take the "building tint" on sunroof instead.

Yeah, I asked about PPF and was advised to do at: 1) headlamp, 2) door handles, 3) side mirror as those are the parts that typically get impacted. If you want to do front bonnet also can but whether it's worth is up to you.

Can't guarantee for you in all KL tolls but when I tried smart tag at Penang 2nd bridge, it worked well. Anyhow, I got RFID to avoid any smart tag issue; also RFID costs RM25-35 vs RM150 for smart tag device LOL. Also with RFID, you can direct debit to TnG wallet instead of manual TnG card top-up. Just hope the toll has RFID lah.

For me, it was a few days (maybe 3-4 days)? After you get chassis number, you can pay the downpayment (for loan) then wait for car to reach showroom, then they do pre-delivery inspection (PDI) then they can give to you.

FYI, you can track the car from tanjong malim using proton link once you get chassis number and proton link activated.

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?

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.

Any idea where's the mic? I really don't like the idea of continuous voice monitoring lol.

Sorry in advance for giant post.
I'm quite sure no tint. I watched my tint being installed end-to-end and confirm no tint. FYI, Proton service center is planning to sell Llumar tint as an official add-on, price ~RM2.1k I think.

For Flagship, I am getting ~10km/L average after 1,200km mileage. Driving mostly on eco with the ICC on.

I think only way to get the claimed 6-7L/100km is to really drive a lot on highway cruise where FC is ~ 3-4L/100km.

In urban city and short roads like Penang island, not really possible.

Did Proton service center confirm that installing power boot outside won't void warranty? RM2k is much cheaper than the RM3k they are quoting for power boot standlone without kick sensor.

Congratulations!!

Yeah, I think the wind noise is normal air resistance + tire rolling; quite good even at 110++ speeds.

For the speakers, I realize bluetooth amp got issue; try to play via USB/QD link/JOOX and sound quality improves a lot.

Please let us know and share which amp/speaker set you end up getting. Hopefully plug n play so no void warranty.

Just tested today, RFID pasted on upper left side on outer windscreen works perfectly with 3M Crystalline. Probably gonna skip Smart Tag unless toll on my work route doesn't have RFID.

Any recommendation for car mat? Looking for the TPV / hard plastic kind and not coil mat/foam mat, so that easy to wash and dry.

Hi there,
I'm a big fan of autonomous tech and L2 autonomous driving was why I bought it over anything in the price range; but the autopark doesn't cut it. I have even tried it on higher end imported cars and it's mostly a hit and miss. For my X50, I feel its about 20%-30% success rate (anecdotally).

This is because it works 1) only when between 2 cars (i.e. doesn't work in empty parking garage), 2) most of the time it doesn't detect the lot fast enough and you have to drive quite a bit in front of the lot before the prompt comes up, 3) when attempting to autopark, sometimes it tries to park at a non-existent lot (e.g. between two poles/columns), or may give up in the middle of the autopark and ask you to take over.

So from this, the X50 reviewers are correct in that it's not very useful yet.

I would say this: if you are very patient and want the autopark to work, it probably will. If you prefer to park faster, then you will probably manual override. Would recommending testing in a showroom to find out.

Good luck

Anyone find out how to avoid the "clunk" noise when autohold takes over or the X50 auto brakes during ICC? It's quite obvious and jarring.. wondering if can put some sort of foam or tape to make it quiet..

I can't imagine living in a world without 360 camera now. All my future cars MUST have 360 camera; don't need autoparking but need 360.

Mine was also free.. booked in Nov 2020 and number 19xxxx. Do check with service center if you are eligible for free first service.

+1 JOOX direct SQ is better than bluetooth music or QDlink via iPhone. Tried and tested. The sound range just sounds fuller.
JOOX > QDlink > Bluetooth just FYI.

Depends on you. Maybe QDlink works better with Android but with iOS it kinda sucks as it's basically screen mirroring and can't use fullscreen.

For me, I use 4G hotspot from phone then play from playlist. Yes, the UX sucks vs iPhone apps but I like using the steering wheel controls and SQ is similar to QDlink although on certain tracks I perceive JOOX to be better. IMO, the bluetooth SQ on stock sound system is not good as the treble and bass is quite compressed/not full sounding.

BTW, I paid for Joox..RM60 for 1 year and free one month promo. Not bad lah for RM5/month. Only issue is music library is less comprehensive than Spotify. So depending on the track, I switch between both

Good luck!

+1 can confirm the L2 ADAS is my fav feature of the car. IINM, no car in the price range can touch it. Myvi, Ativa, City RS, Corolla Cross ACC only works at higher speeds (30km/h) and doesn't support traffic jam assist.

+1 AEB saved me ~3 near misses in 3 months and very useful

I personally don't use the auto parking as where I live, the lorongs is not very suitable for this. Also with the 360 camera, parking is basically a breeze. Car is also not very long vs competitors like Civic, Corolla Cross, etc and can fit on roadside parking lots easily.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately, it's normal. It's due to the auto braking feature. If you turn it off (press the ((A)) button in center console), then ICC/ACC won't work but the sound will be gone.

@xeon1989, thanks again for this awesome contribution Really simple to add ES and the remaining APKs.

Spotify is working really well but Waze is a bit cacat for me. I tried v4.80.0.1 and v4.84.90.901 both are Android 5.0+ compatible but it seems really laggy and if I switch to spotify and switch back to Waze, most of the time it crashes and needs to restart Waze app. Has anyone found a stable version?

Also, is there a way to close recent apps to clear memory? Tried the stock "Cleanup" but it closes ALL apps in the background so not quite helpful.

Thanks!

Boss, did you remove all the old apps etc before sending for car service? Worried about warranty issue if they spotted Spotify, Waze etc hahaha

1. Sunroof is included as part of windscreen coverage - see Endorsement 89: Cover for Windscreens, Windows and Sunroof
In consideration of the additional premium that You paid Us for this endorsement, We agree that the insurance provided under Section A of this Policy will cover the cost to replace or repair any glass in the windscreen, window or sunroof of Your Car that is accidentally damaged including the cost of lamination/tinting film (if any) provided no other claim is submitted for this Incident. The maximum amount that We will pay under this endorsement is the amount mentioned in the Schedule under the heading ‘Endorsement 89’.

2. For Proton Insurance Program, can still get benefits if you change insurance as long as you buy from Proton website/service centre + one of the 6 panels (https://www.proton.com/en/shopping-tools/proton-insurance-program). Based on my recent survey, Am General was the lowest cost FYI.

Disclosure: I'm just regular X50 owner - not working for proton or insurance company lol..

No issues with 3M Crystalline + RFID based on my experience. Been 1 year since I'm using 3M Crystalline tint with RFID sticker on outer windscreen (upper left from driver perspective). Never had RFID fail on me. Just make sure you install on the outer windscreen and not inner windscreen (which will then be blocked by the 3M tint IR rejection!)

Not sure how ppf will affect anything unless you install on LED headlamp - in which case just install RFID on windscreen.

I recall my friend at the workshop said RFID's bonnet design has a lip which covers part of the LED headlamp and may interfere with RFID. Can't confirm cos I installed on windscreen but maybe others can comment.

10L/100km average. Range from 9-12L/100km depending on driving speed. Best mileage for me at 60-90km/h.

Happy election day all

Just sharing some result on my Carlinkit + Carplay: bought the CPC200-CCPA from Shopee and initially the Autokit didn't work and HU would crash after 3-5 seconds of working. Contacted seller and they asked me to update to this version: http://121.40.123.198:8080/AutoKit/AutoKit....06.27.1555.apk

Now, it works great for wired - Waze and Spotify are fantastic although kinda sad CarPlay limits to so few apps only. I love the vibrant colors too

For wireless, it works fine but Spotify song/audio tends to drop out intermittently once or twice a minute. It's not a major issue but it's quite annoying - has anyone found a setting to work around this issue?

So-what: For RM150+ and able to use Carplay on our X50 HU is really worth it Makes the car feel so premium now! Highly recommend.
