Prices remain for a limited time. Iphone no more as Android is ready.. :)

Hey Jasper, Android is not officially ready. You still can't find it in the Android market. Sideloading is not for everyone, especially for those who are concerned about hacking.

Hi

 

How long is the collection process? Including checking the car and paperwork etc?

The process is quite fast. SE gives u paperwork - 10min, SE drives car over for u - 10min, SE teaches u about all the different buttons in the car - 15min, you ogle at your beautiful new car - at least half an hour. Edited by Joolz

Hi, I read that there is a blind spot detection feature on the side mirror. I can't seem to find the setting for it. Anyone knows if our version has it?

Firstly, guys the ride is beautiful. As was as it is during test drive. For fuel efficiency wise, I haven't been doing much long distance travelling yet so can't really comment on that. Will update asap on this. Overall, the drive was comfortable and quality ride.

Ah there's the issue. Android Auto requires Lollipop and above.

If you garang you can root your phone and upgrade Lollipop but too much hassle just use iDevice then.

Do share if your iPod works. I'm curious as well. Enjoy your car!! :)

 

For me, I'm using the old school Ipod nano 4th gen, so as expected the usb function doesn't work on it. But the aux is still fine. For apple carplay wise, IU is very smooth and responsive.

much envy, my phone super ready, android 5.1 with AA installed, only no astra to use with hahahaha

 

Haha. Did the SE inform when your baby is coming? Relax bro, it's worth the wait definitely.

I didn't notice this as we don't usually keep looking at the side mirror when driving. I will update you later when I take a drive.

But what I can confirm is when a bike passes your vehicle by the side your warning tone will ring in your vehicle (must be near enough within proximity) The sensors all around the vehicle is really sensitive believe me

 

I got a question for the bros out here who collected the car already or anyone with any knowledge on this. Has any of you experience a jerk when you switch from D to R gear? Cause I did once and it scared the shit out of me, my vehicle just jumped. Was wondering what could be the cause of it, I did come to a stationary stop before engaging the reverse gear. Or was it to brief a stop? Please advice guys

I stand corrected on the iPod nano issue, it works with usb and aux. Found out that it was my cable that was faulty. So I believe even without carplay in your device still able to enjoy your fav tracks.

 

Waiting for the first bro to change the speakers then ask for advice :D

according to this list on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_General_Motors_factories

 

Astra K is only produced either in UK or Poland.

 

i wonder though if our easytronic transmissions are made in Austria as stated in the same list...

I've already did a lookup for Auto Germany's test drive cars 1.0L SLE878R and 1.4L SLE898H. They're both made in Poland
