kia sedona questions

Hero,
Agree.

3M Dark magic for all windows and the rear windshield. 3M Magic neutral for the front windshield. Eto yung nakakabit sa Carnival II namin, hindi naman madilim sa gabi.

We're quite happy with the Carnival II. It has a car-like ride and it's quite spacious. Power is in abundance, although you'll have to stick the preventive maintenance schedule religiously to avoid it from smoke belching.

Palit ka na rin ng busina while you're having the alarm installed. Medyo matapang kasi yung stock horn mo. :lol:

Thanks all,

Mga magkano kaya iyung 3M magic tint? At ang mga alarms, like code alert, clifford, viper, etc. Para punta muna ko sa alabang and canvass ng presyo. If the difference is not big, okey na rin ito, kesa bumiyahe pa ako papuntang qc.

IMm29, anong alarm ang gamit mo sa carnival ninyo at saan ka nagpakabit? hindi ba kailangan eh sa casa ikabit ang alarm? and magkano ito?

Kailangan ba ng turbo timer ng carnival?

Dami kong tanong... thanks in advance...

Umabot ata ng P4-5K yung 3M tint. Lalaki ng mga windows ng Carnival.

Don't have an alarm. We're just using the stock keyless entry.

Hi Kaboodle. Welcome aboard. I'm also a very happy Sedona RS owner. Hindi naman kailangan ng turbo timer, basta may tiyaga ka na sundin yung tamang cooldown period para sa mga turbocharged na makina. Usually, I use the cooldown time to engage my steering wheel lock, organize my things, etc. Drive safely, dude. Remember, the Sedona is much heavier than a sedan, so even if you feel the urge to drive fast, remember to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Mas mahaba yung stopping distance para sa mga van.

Thanks for the reminder mickey... appreciate it.

Got a Sunguard tint - dark magic (including front and back), so far am happy. Very clear from the inside and hindi ka makita sa loob from the outside, kahit gabi ang liwanag sa loob (parang walang tint), it costs me 5k kasi ang laki daw ng mga bintana ng sedona, especially the front windshield.

For the alarm, am still trying to gather pricing. May korean made na mga 3.5k, 6 months warranty at lifetime warranty ang trabaho (pwedeng ibalik kapag may problema anytime, but not kung sira na ang alarm, may options na ikabit sa ignition key (costs 2.5k addition), okey kaya ito? Ang mahal ng viper, 7K. Meron ding cobra that is about 5K. For now, bumili na lang muna ako ng steering wheel guard habang hindi pa ako nakakapag-decide sa alarm. Okey lang kayang magpakabit ng alarm outside of casa? Or, kailangan sa casa?

Will appreciate any advise...

safe driving to all!

Maganda rin naman Sungard brands, kaso after a year din sa Starex namin nag fade na agad yung black tint. Itim pa rin naman kaso hindi na ganun kadilim unlike before. Kukupas pa yung tint ng konti after a month tsaka mo makikita yung real color and shade tint nyan.

Kung sa casa ka magpapakabit, mas mahal pa. Same way din kukuha sila sa car accessories shop tapos dun din ikakabit sa loob ng casa. San ka ba bumili ng Sedona mo, Wheels Inc. along E. Rodriguez?

Ungas,
yun nga lang ang napansin ko sa sunguard. overtime, they fade a bit. they don't discolor naman (talong/purple), but they're don't stay as dark.

3M super darks naman aren't as black as they used to be.

**Ungas** · February 26th, 2003 06:58 PM

I guess that's why they are still in business, pag kumupas papalitan ng bago para madilim ulit. :mrgreen:

NApansin ko yan dati kahit magbihis ang tao sa loob ng van namin hindi kita sa labas, until sometime na ako yung nasa labas nakikita ko na mga passengers ko while parked. :?

Ungas, got my sedona from signet las pinas (in front of southmall). Sabi kasi ng dealer sa akin, computerize na daw ito, at baka hindi alam ikabit ng installer kung sa labas ng casa ko ipakakabit ang alarm. Totoo kaya ito? or sales talk lang? :?:

Kaya ko napili iyung sunguard na dark magic, kasi, nakita ko sa barkada ko. From the inside ang liwanag, pero hindi makita ang loob from the outside, at hindi kulay talong even he's been using it for a year now. Kung sakaling kumupas after a year or so, palagay ko, I just have to choose a long lasting one when that time comes. :wink:

kaboodle,

check the terms and conditions of your warranty from signet first. sa wheels inc kasi, naka-stipulate na kung sa labas ka ng casa magpakabit ng electronic components like alarm at kahit busina nga, void daw yung warranty mo para sa electrical system. baka naman mas lenient sila sa signet. sayang kasi, 3 years na warranty din yan.
