Yesterday I went lunch with offis colleague. Female colleague take turn to drive us to lunch.

She drove a S70, so we wanted to go to this restaurant want to use waze.

Female driver you know la, blur.

She said she had trouble with her IHU have to use cable to connect to waze. Then she also said the app she use to download bagi her issue cannot work also. So altogether even use cable to connect her HP waze to IHU also got issue.

One of my Honda civic car no issue, I can use google/apple play connect waze saja, tapi ni kereta dun have.

Then asked her to use her Hp to waze. But she said her IHU blocked her HP signal cannot use waze. Since she failed downloaded the APP, everytime the car engine on and IHU switched on she cannot use her HP.

So in the end one of us had to use our own HP to waze for direction.

She said wanted to send to service center but must make full day appointment pulak, no time.

Technician there no time to ad hoc look at your car, unless she send for full service or she willing to send her car for full day appointment.

Ada apa solution?

Think in future, she can rest her car, rest of us take turn to drive our car for gang lunch.

that is why Android auto /apple carplay considered a selling point in MY .

no >80k cars should be without it .

even alza has it.

sadder part is you cannot change the headunit for S70 because its linked to the car controls. So u end up with a crap IHU as long as your ownership

Why anyone would buy S70 u ask? well, Willing buyer willing seller.

warranty also may be nullified.

I am surprised, why would Potong not offer Android auto/apple car play? Their Sales team really not use brain la, seriously tanah gagal la. How to fight Vios and City ? price macam slighly cheaper by few thousand saja.

Even Alza has it !!!!!!

It makes the S70 feel like a 1990s car without it.

The IHU just show cartoon. Absolutely useless. I saw a map there, and asked her to use it, I think its Baidu. But she said that she don't want to pay more data to Potong.

S70 don't have Apple Carplay & Android Auto.
It is said to have that in the future update, just like the latest X70 facelift received Apple Carplay.

At the moment, proton IHU only support Mirror-link, which is old tech & not stable.

I suggest that driver use own phone for navigation (Google Maps/Waze), with phone holder.

Plug-in the USB cable for charging only, not DATA.

She said that the IHU blocked her hp signal, cannot use waze

she tried to use cable last time to connect to IHU and download the app. But the app didn't work and since then, the IHU has given her a lot of trouble not able to use her handphone whenever she is inside the car.

All signal blocked. Watsapp, youtube, waze all cannot use.

Gila this car.

This is the first time I heard IHU block phone signal.

Does it mean, this only happen to her phone? or only when she Plug-in the cable?
her phone 5G/4G data still work right without cable?

While i believe other colleague have no problem with their phone in the car, cuz can help her with waze.

I also no idea

but she demonstrated when she got out of the car, her HP data plan works, can play youtube, can watsapp, can waze.

but moment she switch on engine and turns on the IHU, her HP data plan is blocked, cannot use any app at all.

This protong people really fail man.

why block signal? just disconnect the phone and use the phone independently with a phone holder. dun need waste to deal with something that is broken from the start.

then when we reached our destination, she switched off engine...then took hp out of car, suddenly all the signal came back

If your phone got signal and hers does not, most probably its her phone settings
*
she said because she downloaded the App to support cable link between IHU and her HP.

So that she can use the waze appear in the IHU

but it didn't work

and since then its been buzzing her signal

Even the old software in X70 CBU didn't have this block signal. I never experienced this issue.

And Yes, if plug in via cable to IHU, switch off BT

I have never encountered this signal blocking issue.

Am a dumb user who is not well versed in software or electronics (as my degree & trainings are not in this line)

Sorry not able to give answer to you

Probably she put on her phone's wifi function, and get konekted to the IHU's wifi hotspot when she started the car.

Don't forget Geely Proton IHUs have a built-in eSIM with a monthly 1GB data quota, provided by Yes 4G

Deswai kenot use her HP data. Overridden by Proton's wifi hotspot when konekted to it

Oh I see, this is quite logical.

But how to disable this?
