I got cheated!!!!

[chookleng]

coz he's a god damn good bluffer then any other mechanics available out there. sigh...thx for sharing the info dude. anyway i'll have him fix everything on my car n in the end if things is not right, im certainly not going to pay any shit penny to him. i did voice tis out to him n he too agree on it. if he screw my car..i screw his shop by then

 

[thule]

better make sure of everything before you proceed... believe me, you must be there to watch them working on your car.. as they will take out a lot of things... revealing a lot of wires... never let them cut wires ok??? Or else, your car will have problem in long run.
If one job is badly done... then you have to waste time to go back again... this is a waste of your money right???
Get the job finished nicely in one day... if u want, I will introduce you to the audio shop where I did all the stuff... but that means u have to come to KL. And make sure the AuxIn is there... otherwise the sound quality will be bad

 

[chookleng]

tats damn then for i don have the AuxIn..if i will to drive all the way to kl tats mean i need to re-prog in order to have the AuxIn lo. ehhh bro thule u remind me of good tat i have to be in scene to judge the whole days work...haha all the while i just put my car there n then take taxi back to office. think i really have to spend my times there to overseas the instalation of my navigation done the next time. ehhh now im pretty fucken up with the AuxIn. good things is tat i havent make payment to tis mechanic, haha...so i got yellow card as a negotation way wit him. overall the AuxIn is for audio purposes right? if he cant solve, i give u a private message n get my things done in kl. hahaaaaaa...thule wanna swap ur E60 wit me? LOL

LPPL....i really getting more confused on tis techinal stuff sial....bro alxy, u mean to do the CCC conversion and use the "built-in" tv tat i already had right? then to have the navigation system it only cost me RM3k+? if is so...then damn my mechanic had got the guts to quote me RM5k. he told me +/- RM1,500 from RM5,000 coz of euro dollar flactuations.

No, the CCC would cost around RM5-6K. Which will give you the built-int SatNav. Then if you want to add the DVD, would be another RM3-4K

 

[alxy]

chookleng... select "Entertainment" on your iDrive... you should see a list of "FM, AM, TV, CD," and there's AuxIn or something like that...
Alxy is right... after CCC swap... you can use the Sat Nav system... which is located in your car boot on the left hand side...
unless you plan to use DVD player... no point installing interface...

Not exactly correct. The DVD satnav in your car is purely for Jap systems. If you install Malaysia CCC, then there will be an additional DVD drive (below the CD slot) for the satnav DVD. This DVD drive can also be used to play DVD/CD MP3.

And yes, the DVD in the car boot is useless whichever way you do things but you cannot take it out as it will register an error.

 

[alxy]

I don't really know the exact situation on your side bro... as far as I concern, the CCC swap cost you RM5000! Which means u can use the original BMW Sat Nav system (ask him to give you the MalSing map v2.30 ok?)
your CD player will have the ability to play MP3 format... which is good!
But if you plan to watch DVD, it's better to have the Aux In or else, the sound will not be channelled directly to the speaker... but using radio frequency instead... sound quality not that nice lo... and you need separate DVD player to watch DVD la...
once you swap CCC... you will definitely lose the TV function... I don't understand why your mechanic claimed that you still can watch TV :stupid:
This is my knowledge so far... u can ask other opinions...

Bro, MalSing maps as per Garmin are only for Garmin use. BMW uses their own proprietary system which is not compatible with any other map formats.

Agree with you for the AuxIn. Better to use that as RF will mean poor sound quality.

It was the Audio Shop boss who promised me refund, as he felt that both of us were conned. He's given so many business to this Raymond but I am the 1st one who actually found out about this... the boss didn't bother to check the actual market price for Progman due to the business relationship with Raymond...

What made me pissed off is that Raymond didn't bulge from his stand... insisting on RM2200!!! :thefinger:

You sure about Raymond charging you RM2200 or the audio shop guy take a BIG CUT???:listen:
so kind to refund the money..

 

[alxy]

bro thule i already check under entertainment. it only got this "FM, AM, CD, TV & MD" but don have tat "AuxIn" . ehhh is it because different version since mine is V31.5? wtf sial...don understand a shit at all y mine don have Auxin. somemore tis MD cannot be access as its in grey colour (compare to those accessible such as CD, AM its black colour). so wat now?

Then something is really wrong. You better check properly with the guy. It should come with AUX-IN, otherwise what is the point of your upgrade?

 

[chookleng]

the guy told me my RM5,000 will have interface, navigation, dvd, ipod + tv (even on the go). just tat i wonder how come mine don have AuxIn after reprogram. do you think tat it must be something wrong wit his software tat ended me up without AuxIn???

 

[Erest]

wei wei wei... i overheard that ccc swap is RM 5k now...

Please do let me know where to do it at 5k and i belanja half boiled egg, teh tarik, roti canai, hell... all the locks stocks and barrel lar..

Hehe...

u ask them go back into the SSS programmer and enable the AuxIn function under retrofit path for AuxIn as this function is only available after u do retrofit coding when u install the AuxIn output at the centre console. the AuxIn is just a low level input for audio reproduction through the car audio system.

when i read thru the thread here damn confusing wei...

ok CL let me try to confuse u again...

step by step

1. let's say that u want to change your current MD-CCC, in this case change to the CD-CCC first and do the coding for the new CCC afta install. Now u have GPS already and can play MP3 thru the CD/DVD slot.
2. enable the AuxIn via retrofit path coding on SSS
3. Install the BMW ACM (if u can afford it) or whatever that is so called the 'Interface' here which is suppose to manage the video output from the DVD player or whatever thing that is displaying video or picture. the audio output from the interface will be connected to the AuxIn input.
4. Then you can install the DVD player and connect it to the 'Interface'
5. either u get the DVD player that support i-pod or u can get the i-pod interface from BMW but the earlier one cheaper...

thats all and not confusing at all i think...no need to think so complicated one...

 

[thule]

bro... u make CL "gong gong" already :stupid" lol!!!!

 

[thule]

Not exactly correct. The DVD satnav in your car is purely for Jap systems. If you install Malaysia CCC, then there will be an additional DVD drive (below the CD slot) for the satnav DVD. This DVD drive can also be used to play DVD/CD MP3.

And yes, the DVD in the car boot is useless whichever way you do things but you cannot take it out as it will register an error.

thanks for correcting me bro :top: sifu speaking again
We'll let chookleng decides on how to go about this

the guy told me my RM5,000 will have interface, navigation, dvd, ipod + tv (even on the go). just tat i wonder how come mine don have AuxIn after reprogram. do you think tat it must be something wrong wit his software tat ended me up without AuxIn???

bro... if the offer is RM5000 including DVD, grab it coz in KL, it will cost you about RM8000++ for CCC + DVD
But make sure for AuxIn or else you will jialat perhaps it's not v31.5 after all... lol!!!
About TV on the go... double confirm with him coz you will definitely lose TV function once you swap the CCC... as TV is only for Japanese spec. Ask him to refund partially if cannot watch Tv OK? :top:

 

[thule]

that's what I thought as well but don't care la... make sure get back my $$$.

CL,

Tell your guy i am also interested.

Just double confirm;

All the above for 5k?


If yes. I drive down to JB. How long does it take? 1 day?

 

[B33mEr]

I don't want to prolong this issue but i had a chat with Raymond today and this is what he has got to say on couple of things

1) There was no request from the your audio guy asking for reduction in price ... however your audio guy did called him up again to re-confirm how much d dealership would charge for software upgrade and re-confirm he did. there was no request from your audio guy or from you for price cut

2) Raymond did not charge rm2200 it was much less ... for evidence ask for the bill Raymond charge to your audio guy and see who try cut whose throat

Thule it is obvious that you did not investigate this matter thoroughly before making accusations and from my point of view TUDM is right when hinting that your audio guy was jacking up the price and not Raymond. It is your audio guy is at fault for jacking up d price too much ... and you are aware that your audio guy might be at fault and yet you point finger to an innocent party ... plus did you call up Raymond himself an ask for reduction or inquire why d price was high???

 

[TUDM]

This thread is a JOKE !
Worry it might endup with a fight

 

[Lee36328]

Thule,

You have accused a business establishment of cheating you. It happens to be a place I know well. I can vouch for Raymond's character and honest approach to conducting business.

I have duly informed the committee of the contentious nature of this thread.

I have heard Raymond's side of the story, which is quite different. I leave it to him what actions he wants to pursue.

To the rest of us, please be careful and have our facts and evidence in order before making accusations. We are entitled to our opinions. However, libel is another matter.

This also seems to be a duplicate thread.

You don't care but you did not investigate this matter thoroughly before making accusations .
