Hyper silver, I hate crome. Ya why is it that everyone recommends a set of 4 and not 5. What's the theory?

Waiting game cuz it takes a few days for the wheels to arrive

4 over 5 the main reason you save money,and you hardly use your spare wheel in case your Tyre gets punctured you can use the spare wheel and change it after words.

congrats!! so you had made the order for them.

nice choice zahir!
we buy a set of 4 alloys is that you hardly use the spare wheel and save on the cost. that is the primary reason!

First, congrats Zahir! A bit late but I just saw your post and your new car pictures; surely the car looks splendid especially with those lit-up headlamps.

I'm getting the Pioneer 5090 HU as well for my just-booked Tata Indigo Marina GLX (decided to go diesel and hence change it to DiCOR tomorrow). I looked on the Pioneer website and it says the HU has both USB and AUX ports but the AUX port is located on the rear. I did not understand that. Nor do they have any clear pictures showing the unit.

Can you pls tell if the AUX port is located on the front or not on your HU? I essentially want to use the AUX port to connect my IPod to the ICE. If it is in the rear how can one use it and what's the purpose?

Thanx!

@ allroad : if the aux input is at the back of the head unit, then there will be a cable coming out through the glove box (most probably) for attaching the ipod.

Allroad · 20th April 2009, 00:55

Oh, that's weird. So to fix the cable end in the glove box do they drill holes now in a brand new car? Or just stick it using glue or simply velcro it?

I have to find that out with my dealer. Unfortunately he does not have the HU on display. So I guess I have to stop by a car shop and check the HU out myself.

Thanx!

At the least for Swift, I heard that they need not drill holes in the glove box to get the USB or Aux in cables.

By the way, how much does the Pio 5090 costs and where do you source it from.

white_vdi · 20th April 2009, 17:24

allroad you dont need to drill any holes. there is enough room behind the dash to just put the cable in the glove box.

Zahir · 23rd April 2009, 00:44

Guys, any of you swift owners notice a line of paint bubbles(almost like its rusting) on the side skirts of your cars? I have them and dont know what to make of it....

Zahir, it's normal.My car also have. I haven't watched for that in other Swifts It is not rust or something. But I exactly don't know why?

Zahir · 23rd April 2009, 01:40

I checked another swift in my building, it was smooth. Its amost like crumple. Infact i called Sai Service and even asked the guy if he had actually teflon coated the car because i thought it was either a badly done paintjob or rust

white_vdi · 23rd April 2009, 20:31

zahir it is normal man. dont worry!
its an antirust coat present in all swifts post 09 period i believe (not sure). even honda city has the same. relax its nothing to worry about.

Zahir · 24th April 2009, 12:06

Mr white_vdi, as always, thanks for your expert advice to my paranoia

I was ready to kill someone at sai.

Sending the car to Sai next week for servicing @ 5000 km. Got a whole bunch of problems.

Hey man, thanks and sorry for the late reply, don't know how I missed your post. Firstly, you're gonna love the hu. Its really good. The wires are attached from the back and pulled into the glove in my car. I don't really use them much unless I want to hear something off my BlackBerry. But as far as I know, no holes drilled, just the wire being pulled.

Hope this helps.

no problem zahir!
what problems are you facing?
