CAMPI is expecting little growth, some (i.e. Toyota) are more pessimistic and forecast zero growth, so I'm expecting all sorts of discounts, gimmicks and promos by late Jan or early Feb. ;)

Im so stressed out with this panic buying thing that lll also probably wait this out. Not sure if i will take the introduction of upgraded base as a sign that theyll also come up with promos for totl next year.

Sana man lang theyll give discounts to those who queued last november but were unable to get units this month.

Base model upgraded to xv leather seats sir. I dont know what else is included in their package because i didnt bother to ask any further.

Third party back up cam + sensors are offered exclusively ( i think) by my agent or could already be included in the package.

Sirs sa base po bang XV merong headlight LED strip light/daytime light yung unit? if wala, may alam po kayo kung san pwedeng magpalagay? hindi naman po ba affected yung warranty ng unit if ever magpakabit nun?

Question on the StarLink head unit. Has anyone encountered connecting their phone and playing music through Spotify that only the first song’s metadata appears on the screen and the succeeding songs are blank?

Wala. DRL ng base is a low wattage bulb sa fogs.

Check mo recommendations sa one of the threads about HID upgrade. Pansin ko na headlights ng base ay di directly connected sa headlight switch. May konting delay kasi between turning the switch and the headlights actually turning on and off so most probably dumadaan sa one of the ECUs ang signal. Choose your shop wisely.

Headlight assembly and some electrical subsystems will definitely lose their warranty.

So far via Android Auto ok naman. Responsive kahit ang steering wheel controls.

Marami na uling units sa stockyard sa Pasig as of yesterday. Baka sa mga nakapila dyan one of those will be yours

Has anyone here experienced that their rear passenger door (one side only) wouldn't open from the inside? It works just fine from the outside - locks and unlocks, however when unlocked centrally it just won't open from the inside. Does it have to do with 'child lock'? Appreciate your responses

Yep check child lock. Happened to our unit one time. It's kinda easy to accidentally activate if the door is held in the switch's vicinity.
