Multi 3rd Gear November 29, 2016 Share November 29, 2016 Mine lights up when door open. Not sure if it stays on when door is closed though. Didn't notice. Wait... light reflector only? Hmmm.... later I go down and check. I thought it was lighted up one. Maybe I see wrongly... Realized that our Eurostyle HU can do this... You mean your Eurostyle got Equaliser feature? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi 3rd Gear November 29, 2016 Share November 29, 2016 Ya only 4 EQ..but the base can be adjust. Yes, have turn to max Bass and Treble and the sound still not as good. Think upgrade of speaker the only option for better sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think upgrade of speaker the only option for better sound.Doesn't mean treble n base up max sound will be nice ah.... den the mids n vocals will be lost. Actually i find for a stock sound system the k3 is already quite good. Much better den stock from previous rides i have experienced. Want better sound den have to invest more. Not just speakers but also sound proofing and amp and sub etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbluepica 2nd Gear November 29, 2016 Share November 29, 2016 Just curious, the Motrex do not have pre-out option, how to connect to Amps? Is it using the speaker wire to convert to pre-out? Then it involves cutting the socket, am I right? Use speaker output from HU connect to amp high level input. Nowadays most amps have that already. So no issue. No cutting of wires. Direct connection. I know a lot of people like bright light, but when u kanna shine by bright light, dun u find it annoying? Anyway, since HID is not stock fitted, does it mean if you change to HID, it would pass LTA inspection? Think the only necessary change I feel is to change to whiter bulbs, some Osram Night Breaker H7 bulbs will b good enough Liao, the white to match with the white DRL. Heard some SE actually change for people before car collection. Shld cost SE less than $100 but make customer happy. Maybe SE needs to be senior enough to ask workshop to do FOC, since it is unconventional. Some cars come with stock HID. K3 is using projector lens which is meant for HID, just that AD downspec to cut cost. The 1st batch of SX sports come with HID. it will not glare other road users as projector will control the light beam. Of cos will not pass inspection but if lucky can pass cos projector lens is meant for HID. Doesn't mean treble n base up max sound will be nice ah.... den the mids n vocals will be lost. Actually i find for a stock sound system the k3 is already quite good. Much better den stock from previous rides i have experienced. Want better sound den have to invest more. Not just speakers but also sound proofing and amp and sub etc My full ice setup cost $6K. Basic setup easily $3-4K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelby 2nd Gear November 29, 2016 Share November 29, 2016 Yes, have turn to max Bass and Treble and the sound still not as good. Think upgrade of speaker the only option for better sound. It greatly depend on what kind of music you listen..if you like those boom boom music, then you might need a woofer.. But if you are soft music listening, get a good clarity speakers will do... Anyway if you drive within Singapore, how long will you be listening.. For my past two rides i upgrade my ICE, but for this K3, no intention..the speakers to me ok ok..anyway keep my pocket for the Xpensive service..

Yixiang1 3rd Gear November 30, 2016 Share November 30, 2016 Agree. Better save the money for servicing unless u spend more than 1 hour in car or very long time in car daily. Imagine after 30k plus KM, go servicing then CnC want change spark plugs, charge u $200-$300 for it.. ouch! Is there an option to say no to change certain parts when doing servicing? then kanna threaten void warranty again... sigh... Battery I think after 1 year plus, just change outside on ur own.

For me, most probably after the 2 free labour servicing, I'll do myself outside. That's what I have been doing for my pass 2 Hyundai. Buy parts from stockist and change at workshop outside. So far, never claim any warranty at all. I believe our K3 is easy to maintain and most workshop knows how to change parts. This way can save alot of time and money etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNS later tyres also forced to change there no such thing as forced to change la.... can say no one..... for example they will recommend engine flush every 6mth or 10k service you go to... which is not needed for new vehicles so frequently. Aircon filter they also asked to change every servicing i went to. said yes once and no once. tyres i did outside, rims also changed outside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can tell the SE to call you before changing any parts..seek your permission first..u can reject any parts change at CnC if you wana do outside... I always tell them to call me...

Of cos will not pass inspection but if lucky can pass cos projector lens is meant for HID. Most likely wun pass if they find out your stock supposed to be normal bulbs. One of the reasons they will give is fire hazard of non-approved 3rd party products... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
