Why limit with AVT there is FlyAudio which has a very decent display and user interface. Moreso there is surround if you order the one with DSP.

april_ryan is right i considered the fly audio as well as the pioneer 8450bt which i have thats going in my jazz, i just figured that it was free and if i didnt want it they would take 50k off and also warranty wise its on them. today was my 3rd time at the dealer having them demo the avt's features and just bit the bullet and said ok install.hehehe

Congrats! What color did you get? And what's the current cash discount? What made you choose the AVT instead of the 50k cash discount?

Thank you , I got the dark gray metallic. Current cash is 80k. I guess more on connivence that they will do everything before I take it home and warranty aswell.

[vwaudimb]

Congrats!!

Thank you

Can you post a pic of the dashboard? I want to see how how the AVT looks like in relation to the layout Yung stock, pati yung font sa display, makaluma. Parang font ng mga nokia phones dati, bago nauso ang mga bagong screens.

Sure, I'll take a photo when there's decent light.

Finalize my reservation today with tint color and so forth..

This is what I currently got with the fxs in dark steal metallic.

Wow! Great deal. If you didn't want the AVT, would you get additional cash discount or max na 80K?

With out the avt they offered extra 50k cash discount.

[April_Ryan]

it should be in the 180K-200K range by next year.

Wow, but can't wait that long

[tr1ck5h07]

If we wait til next year, we might not get the color we want cause no new stocks will be coming in.

I say buy now and enjoy the ride

[April_Ryan]

Discounts are even higher, go, go, go!!!

From Topgear:

But that's not all we learned. Because an all-new Forester is arriving next year, Luyun said they are selling their remaining stock of the previous-generation Forester with big discounts. The top-of-the-line 2.5 XT variant is now P200,000 cheaper, and the 2.0 XS variant can be had for P150,000 less. That means the XT's price is now reduced from P1,768,000 to P1,568,000, and the XS's price is slashed from P1,398,000 to P1,248,000.

Luyun said these prices are in effect until MIP runs out of stock. As you read this, there are about 25 XT and 130 XS units left.

Sure, I'll take a photo when there's decent light.

Btw, did they say anything about updates for the map for the GPS? Will it be free?

[vwaudimb]

Oh time to haggle some more before the release of the unit

[vwaudimb]

Current December promo is 100k discount no more avt. Asked about the topgear article said that it's not true. Can't get any more discount grrrr!

[Flip]

my golay mga sales talk nga naman bihira yung totoo.hehe baka na realize nila mauubos nila stocks nila kahit mag kuripot sila sa discounts kaya biglang kabig. last november pinipilit na ako ng SA kumuha sa 50k discount at sinasabi niya na di na tataas pa discount dahil malabo pa daw yung 2013 model.

ano po pala payment terms to avail of discount? cash lang po ba or even bank financing? how about yung 50% 24 months 0 interest, kasi last november wala discount kung ganito terms. thanks.

[April_Ryan]

Tama ka. If you get the 24 months promo, you won't get the discount.

You need to pay cash, in-house or bank financing to avail of discount.

Is there a way to program the door lock function such that when you turn the key to turn on the engine or if you start driving, the door locks will engage?

When I got my FXT in 2011, I found out that it didn't have an alarm, only an engine immobilizer. I had MI Global City install an after-market alarm and program the doors to lock after turning the ignition to the "on" position and unlock when switching off. Best part is, the alarm switch is programed with the original keys so there's no need for an additional remote control. Btw, with other alarm brands, you can have the doors programed to lock after...

a) Turning on the ignition switch
b) When stepping on the brakes prior to shifting (for AT)
c) When disengaging the handbrake

Found out about this when a friend replaced the alarm in his old CRV. He chose option B.

Sir JackFlash, do you have to have an extra remote for the alarm? Or can it be programmed to work with the immobilizer?

[JackFlash]

Sir JackFlash, do you have to have an extra remote for the alarm? Or can it be programmed to work with the immobilizer?

It's programmed to work with the immobilizer. So you'll need to bring both keys so they can program them properly. No extra remotes for the alarm, less bulk on the keychain.
