Re: Tata Tiago : Official Review

I noticed something strange in the music system. The contacts are not alphabetically sorted, I searched around and I could not figure out how to sort the contacts alphabetically. Does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed ?

My 'Tunni' Tiago petrol XZ is one of the first batches of 2016 when it was launched. I've completed just about 3+ years in it and have clocked a paltry approx. 22k kms in it. In this time Tunni has done Lucknow-Gwalior-Gurgaon and Delhi-Lucknow (return) both straight stretches without long halts, read: only washroom breaks of 5-10 mins. No issues have come through yet - feel free, spread the little wings of your Tiago, it's a superb car to drive - suspension really comes in it's form and you have a very planted drive on the highway, not the bouncy, floating ride of some of it's competitors even one or two categories above, read: 2012 Verna - my brother-in-law has it and it's just terrible!

Apart from the crappy AMT gearbox, problematic Harman HU and a few rattles here and there we’ve had a very pleasant ownership experience of the Tiago XZA. It’s my wife’s car and sees only ORR/city runs, but we did take it to Honnavar/Chikmagalur/Coorg/Madurai and it ran flawlessly. 10 hrs non stop drives and absolutely zero issues. No overheating or any other issues pertaining to the engine. She ran as good as my 2015 Verna does. Superb ride quality, glides over potholes and comfortable over long distances.

Feel free to take it out on long drives. It shouldn’t be a problem. You will love it.

P.S:- Ours is a March 2018 car.

@girimajiananth: this Harman HU has a ton of issues. Not exactly a polished product I would say. We got it replaced twice under warranty and the 3rd time the entire audio wiring harness was changed cause the HU shorted the whole wiring. Got fed up with the issues, dumped the Harman, picked up the Sony. Massive improvement in Sound Quality.

Where did you buy this Sony unit? And how did you install it? I know this shows as DIY

I got the Sony Unit from Amazon. A close friend who has a good rep with the SA at Concorde got me the wiring diagram for the Harman Unit. Made my own custom harness (no factory wires spliced). Retained steering wheel controls, factory mic and factory USB port (although this unit has the USB on its fascia). Sounds much better than Harman.

This harness makes it plug and play, completely reversible installation.

Re: Tata Tiago : Official Review

Few days back while travelling (or when the car was parked somewhere, cannot remember), looks like white oil paint was accidentally sprayed on my Tiago by somebody. I realized that when the car was parked in bright sun light. There are tiny white dots primarily on front bonnet and front wind shield. Some are evident on black roof of NRG.
Does anybody know a solution to remove those tiny dots from car's paint? Mine is orange and the dots are looking really bad. I can remove all dots from wind shield and black plastic parts with simple nail polish remover. But do not want to apply it on car's paint and roof since it will damage the color as well.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Argh that's frustrating isn't it! I suggest not to use nail-polish remover even on the black cladding. If its concentrated - it will turn the cladding whitish in application area.

I suggest try to spray WD40 or kerosene (if you can source it) or petrol on a slightly rough pure cotton cloth (like hand towel, but must be cotton). Rub it on the spots with little pressure quickly. This should dissolve and remove the paint.
Note- When you are at it - keep a bucket of water with shampoo/car wash solution handy with you already. As soon as you are done, wash off the area thoroughly to remove the solvents fully from the surface as soon as possible.

Thank you doctor. I am happy with the sound quality on the stock Harman. I think I can live with this bug on the harman, it is not a show stopper for me since I do not dial anyone while driving.

Your model is XZA ? the projector lamps came factory fitted ? How is the light throw. Please tell me about the visibility in fog and heavy rains.

Yes my model is XZA. The projector lamps I fitted it myself since the stock headlights were inadequate for road lighting. It has a projector low beam and a dedicated high beam so absolutely no issues regarding visibility in the fog and heavy rains. Both of em’ are now running on Philips Xtreme Visions.

You can read this post for further details.

Dr., would request your inputs on how you went about replacing the head unit? Did you have to get a separate frame? Also, what about lot of default car settings which are available in Harman HU?

I’ll post a complete write up regarding the HU replacement.

Yes you need a separate frame. It’s a standard double-DIN frame available for the Tiago. You can find it online. I painted it gloss black so that it would colour match.

The Harman HU acts as an interface to change certain car settings but the settings themselves are stored in the BCM. So I set my preferences and swapped the HU.

We had way too many issues with Harman HU, so we swapped it out for something more reliable and feature packed.

Re: Tata Tiago : Official Review

Folks, quick question. I have a 2017 model XZ petrol model. Can someone please confirm if the model came with a factory fitted insulation sheet under the bonnet ? I am not sure if my car had it. Recently I got the car washed at a local garage, I noticed that it was not there when the car wash guy popped the hood to clean it.

I have a July 2017 XZA and neither my car has a insulation sheet under the bonnet. You can get the insulation sheet from the service centre, it costs around 700 rupees if i remember correctly.

The digital instrument cluster will mimic the functions of the analogue unit - it will come with a large centrally-mounted digital speedometer, a tachometer, digital clock, door ajar and key reminder, distance to empty indicator among other functions.

Nice but again TATA quirkyness in play! The website shows the digital instrument cluster but is not highlighted anywhere as a "feature".
