2. Autocop or Nippon. 3. Avoid the parking sensors. 4. Get it done from 3M or some similar good car detailing people. Will save from many hassles. | |

| blue n me & 2nd service station visit well, i think it relates to the nokia model 6265 i'm using though i feel it worked during TD (am not sure). tata guy said they do not know much about it & will ask fiat engg to revert back. i have to mail the complaint to fiat i think. btw i forgot in earlier post - the car seems to have given a mileage of 10.xx kmpl though I've still to do a tank-full to tank-full & will post the figure than. visited the service station today again for removeing those water drop marks. One thing is for sure - Fiat has ensured that Tata dealers give good treatment to Linea customers. During both my visits, 90% of the customers in waiting room are Indica Taxi Drivers!  But thats ok. I always prepared myself for that & hence did not feel a bit frustrated as they gave me a very good reception & treatment. Their intentions are good & that what counts. Their ability is a questionmark (for which I was prepared & hence managed to remain cool & happy though I had to wait for 3 hours yday & 3 hours todayThey did the 3M polish on the car to remove those water drop marks (of course free of cost). The car looked awsome with great shining after polishing. The water drop marks got very very faint but some are still there not visible unless you get really close around 15 cm from the body. I let it go as I could gauge they could not do much more than this. Need Guru's advice - should I keep it as it is (not much visible) or should I do something (what) to remove it? Should I complain fiat about PDI? Pl keep the advices coming on this as well as on accessories mentioned earlier! btw, last 2 days am not feeling problems with 2nd gear power much, am getting used to it. will be able to do a fair comparison after 3-4 days when I'm completely used to Cluth-gear-accelerator-brake combine/ synchro. |

| Blue n Me - Voice Recognition Quote:
Also Blue & Me's recognition works on phonetics and would prefer an americanized accent. Hence most of the names I call on my phone list dont sound like their actual names ..  Example: If I want to call "Samrat" pronounced as in Samrat Ashok, I have to tell the B&M "Sam" as in Sam and "Rat" as in Rat so Sam-Rat then it will do the needful, else it will pick up something else in the contact list that will have the same phonetics. In my case, I think B&M is pretty accurate for a no-training required system, much better than several phones in the market. | |

when i press the steering button, it relays the msg to say "help". when i say even "help" (now that does not require much of an accent), it doesn't recognise. When I try to say simple "dial" it does not recognise. i think the prob is with my noika 6265 which mobile do you use? | |

If the phone book is not coming in linea or you cannot dial out, then there is an issue with the phone, blue n me is not compatible with lot of phones, in certain phones it is partially compatible ie it will do the calling bit but not the SMS reader bit, like in my phone. I use an HTC touch with Windows 5.0. Blue n me works best with older motorola and sony phones as it has been tested on those. | |

As i understand, there are 2 types of gear locks - pin type and othe one which has some u-bend. Pin type looks cool. You need to put your car in reverse gear and insert this pin (actually its a rod..not a pin ). Costs about 1500-2000 bucks and is a good safety device (much fool-proof than eletronic systems). | |
