Oxyzen is being so vocal about the incident now. The surprise is I don't even remember his face or talking to him for even a second. Because all the decisions/discussions were being done with his father and an elderly driver. His father did not consult him or take his opinion about anything, at least in front of me. If I remember there was a very young looking son of the gentleman I dealt with that afternoon. How old are you Oxqzen?

Before I answer any of the other queries let me answer this one 1st. I am 25. I have been working in an automobile OEM for 2 years. It was me who suggested this place based on the reviews of not one but several happy customers. But did not turn up too well did it?

Whats an electrical tape? We used a jack made for the Chevrolet Beat to to connect the cables on the Head unit with the wire harnes inside the vehicle. I have not heard of any soldering on the wires of the HU ever, speakers yes. In fact I would not want to bring a hot soldering iron inside the vehicle close to the dashboard due to the fear of it coming in contact with any part and leaving a permanent mark on it. Just for the record, we do have a soldering iron and have used it on many instances on other team BHP members vehicles when its required.

There was a Jack all right but there was joints connected with electrical tape (red) either between HU & Jack or between Jack & Harness. I do not remember that comprehensively. My dad said, inside the dashboard the temp. becomes very high and the electrical tapes give away. The mechanic said we always use it. If too much tape is used then it is a problem, not if you use the right amount.

Luckily to install a HU in th base model of the Beat, we do not have to take off the AC vents or the control unit like in most other cars. All we need to do is take out the provision already made for the HU and put in the bracket and harness and complete the install. If we did make an error it would have been corrected when we checked again. But there was no error by us in the first place. Believe me when I say this is not the first Beat we have installed a basic ICE system and surely not the last. |
I agree to your logic, but since the blowers were working fine in the morning it can only be a co-incidence. I had also mentioned about the co-operation of you guys who opened it again analyse the problem. BTW I never said it is you guys who did it. I only said it was the after effect of installing the ICE . I will update once I get to know the fault. I tried switching off the HU to check whether it is due to the excess power consumption. But no luck. Anyway the similar noise level suggests the blower is fine.

You chose the least expensive model of HU in my showroom. An original JBL 333. If it does not support your phone or your USB,then you need to mail JBL about it. You did not ask me before installation on what it would support and what it would not. If there is any defect in the JBL 333 installed by me I will be very happy to replace it without any questions asked.

I went through the manual. It clearly says it does not support any plug and play device. It is definitely not a fault. But it would be good to be given a heads up. “It has USB but won’t support plug and play.” I am sure you would have notified in case you knew. As for me I had no Idea that some USB don’t support plug & Play. Anyway I would still stick to the same entry level HU. Hardly anyone will be using Phone/Hdd to listen to music. + There is Aux in facility. My statement regarding this had nothing to do with Glitz.

This was told to your respected father well in advance even before he chose the Hertz 4" speaker that it would not give any bass. Even tried to educate him with reasons such as why we should not expect any hi-quality bass from a 4 " speaker. Just to remind you that your father had wanted to put a 6" speaker but we clearly refused as it would be a bad install as there is no provision for a 6" speaker in the Beat. (even though my margin would be higher on a 6"product as its of higher value) I feel sick even mentioning this.
|
I believe I said I did not expect anything more from a 4”. Yes definitely It was us who decided to go for 4” rather than 6”(on tray). Similarly the statement had nothing to do with Glitz. I was just sharing my experience.
Quote:
It is not certain that we made this scratch. I am surprised that you did not mention that I was willing to do whatever it took to fix it. My question is even if that scratch did happen while installing the seat cover. Did I not talke all necessary steps to fix it?
|
There is no point arguing whether you guys have created the scratch. There is no proof after all. And these are bound to happen if the workspace is not enough. I have seen Accessories shop outside Cal with much better working environment. Polishing or no polishing, a scratch is a scratch. And the first one in a New car is the most painful. As per the looks it is done most probably by tools (screwdriver/spanner) rather than seats. What I do appreciate is the fact you guys tightened the sagging front seat covers of Beat and fixed the Back door rattle.
Thanks to Saurabh M for pointing out scratch instead of crack.
Quote:
Very hard to believe. We have done seatcovers of so many members of this forum and if even one could mention that there seats rattled after the install. But if that was the case then just bring it back and we will tighten it.
|
I think I mentioned clearly that the rattle is due to seat belt clip hitting the Handbrake console. There is nothing loose in it. The seat belt fastning Clip got bent maybe due to fitment or the seat cover width. When there is a co-passenger and the seat belt is on, obviously the clip will not hit the console due to tension. Otherwise it rattles. The only way to avoid is to push the seat completely to the front.
I also mentioned it was not big a deal, but you made it one.
Quote:
But the car never came back, that means ure either living with the rattle or it did not rattle in the first place.
|
I appreciate such a wonderful forum like Team BHP. And I understand what I say is going Public. Why would I deliberately lie and say there is rattling if there is none?
Quote:
You know now I feel like you had nothing to do hence you got online and decided to just vent out on us for no reasons at all.

Going with 2 cars a coming back with a scratch on 1 and a defective blower / Vent / Duct in another is not exactly what I expected. In fact these 2 were the major issues. I don’t want to go around arguing since what is done is done. Like you said “ I don't want this to become one of the many slug fest that have happened in the forum. Will not be replying to this matter anymore. “
I have nothing more to say.
I only wish you and Gliz the best for the future. And no other customers to face a similar ordeal.
Bye.
