Looks like a good deal on the car. But I am not sure about the accesories.

The vkool film for beat from GM accessories is over priced. I bargained on it and paid Rs 4000/-. I latter asked the accessories guy after befriending him and he told me it actually costs 3200 + taxes. About Rs 3600.

Take off the head rests.
Lift the seat bottom and it slides to a vertical position in the legroom area.
Then fold the seat and it becomes flat.

I got the demo from the sales guys

I have a quick question about the audio system in the Beat

1. Does anyone know the brand of the integrated audio system in the Beat LT, and also the speakers ?

2. Does the audio system play AAC files through the USB AUX unit?

Congrats suv. Looks very royal. Please post a full ownership thread when you get the time!

I have to say, just like the Swift, the Beat looks hot when modded as well.
