Regarding the 2 accessories package. Many dealers did not understand the memo from Proton HQ.

The memo mentioned each "unit of allocation received". These units are the display/test drive units that the dealers received days ago. Proton HQ is NOT referring to customer units.

For example, if the dealer received 2 X50 for display and test drive purposes, they need to order 2 accessories packages and suppose to install them at those 2 units.

Many dealers thought each customer unit need to order one accessories package which is not meant by the memo. So if your SA is forcing you to buy one, explain this to them. And if they dont believe, ask them to reconfirm with HQ instead of asking their boss or whatever.

It's not I'm thinking my way. I have clarified this with Proton HQ as well. There's also an article from Paultan mentioning Proton has confirmed this. You guys need to stop spinning seriously.

Dealer only need to buy 1 set for each display/test drive unit. Not 1 set for each customer unit. Dealers are misunderstanding the memo.

The speaker lose to Iriz

Yup..I owned an Iriz and changing to x50 soon..abit disappointed with the speaker..iriz speaker was superb

My iriz was the very first gen first batch...not sure if they have change it on other gen or batch.. My friends always thought I changed the speakers.. lol

After update no longer works again. Proton has patched it stop ppl from sideloading app using that method.
Waiting for someone to find a new workaround. :/

On the first day of booking there's around 2000 booking..this number includes those booked before 16th sept. So those book on first day can relax abit coz very high chances you'll get by end of the year.

As for how those 400+ ppl can get their car so early, here's 2 scenarios that I'm aware of..
1. Some already confirmed with dealer no matter what price also they will buy. By confirm means most likely paid a certain large amount of money before price announce. so when dealer order their showroom units, they order for these confirmed customer as well.
2. Dealers himself got enough cash to order extra showroom units. Once the cars arrive they start selling them off. This is why some dealers forcing ppl to take together with the accessories package. (Proton memo stated for each of those showroom units must order one set).
So in short, the actual 1st batch of customer units have not been delivered as of last week. I believe proton just started delivering them this week.

I dont recommend anyone to try replacing the camera as some of ADAS features make use of them. If the cameras are not placed back at the precise angle, it'll affect the system accuracy. Unless outside vendors know how to recalibrate the system, it's better to just leave it as it is.
And for sure it'll void the warranty for the whole ADAS system at least.

I really hope the gov will extend the SST exemption. I believe many ppl including myself who booked the car on 16th sept has yet to receive the car. My SA isn't confident I'll be getting it this year.
Really disappointed with Proton as their allocation is not following the booking number.

SST exemption would not be announced until the very last min. If they announce during budget it'll only hurt the year end sales. We can only wait and see.

+1
These geely platform cars will no doubt have higher resale value than previous proton cars. The question is only if they can be higher than the top 3 brand Perodua Toyota and Honda.
If owners plan not to change the car in 5 or 6 years time, resale value doesn't matter much for year end cars. Look at those current 2011 and 2012 used cars, they don't diff more than RM 5k 6k.
Don't forget RM 5k 6k over 8 9 years of interest will accumulate to how much.
The SST exemption can easily offset the depreciation value.

Is it the one near pos office jelutong?

Boot and back seat is definitely smaller then HRV and City. Backseats comfortable for 2 adults only. If 3 adults behind will be very cramp. Leg room wise is good except for the middle one as the rear aircond is blocking at the front of middle passenger.

From where you get the news 2021 orders ETA 1 to 2 months?

Anyone here upgraded their speaker?
Planning to upgarde to a slightly better one than stock with budget around rm2k.
Any recommendations especially from Penang would be great

Thanks for the suggestion. Does installing DSP requires any wiring cut?

I doubt it'll work. It'll required the tablet to receive input display and output the display at the same time through a single usb port.

There's an alternative solution but I'm not sure if it can work between iPhone and tablet. There's apps in Android that can mirror your android phone to another android device screen. If iPhone can then you can skip using the carplay dongle.

Proton schedule didn't include oil change for the first 1000km service.
That person got changed most likely the service centre screw up.
