Thanks LRTan! truth is i saw your previous posts about getting the crystal pearl white and another user. You both convinced me to get the white. ... looks like you are satisfied with it .. had second thoughts earlier when I saw the silver .. but hey, documents have been signed so i am stuck with white .. gotta tough it up! LOL

i agree the service could have been faster but at paying nothing i think i will be okay with it. haha

i think you already saw how much i got the cam and the no need for HU replacement.

when i get it i'll share pics

installed only back up sensor (came as a package when i bought the unit :D) since back-up camera can make my driving rely too much on it but that's just my opinion. FC improved to 10.8L/100km same pure city driving moderate to heavy sometimes light traffic carrying 1-3 passengers.

Yeah, test it as soon as possible. This has gotten me excited

Will call my SA tomorrow to verify.

I agree with you about being too reliant on the rear cam, but I'd rather rely on the cam, than have my wife start bumping into things, mataas pa naman back end ng CX-5 natin

i got the AT version but i doubt is the HUVs are diff

also just to share, i am not sure if this is true to all dealerships - there are still no official CX-5 accessories available in the Phils. my SA said that they are still waiting for the list from Berjaya.

This is true, walang accessories for sale here halos. PMed a member here and he got all his accessories from China pa thru aliexpress.com. The only thing ive bought for my cx-5 is the weathertech liners... medyo madugo hehehe but its worth it. no more worrying about spills from my kid. Also installed a mounting bracket for my nexus 7 3g using it as my GPS. Here is a pic of my dash while we were stuck in traffic.

Makes me wonder why the accessories havent reached Phils. If i am not mistaken this model was launched here apr last year. Could it be bec of the management transfer or low sales. Hmmmm

Your dash is looking good. You gave me a idea. Aside from gps could be an alternative for watching movies while stuck in traffic. Haha!

Saw an article in top gear phils that there are upgrades in cx5 including the HU. The new HU makes you receive sms and read emails. Also it's voice activated. Cool right? Question is if it will be avail here

What is a weathertech liner?

Oo nga. I opted for it bec it'll be my first time driving this size so I'd rather play it safe. Do you remember the time when news of kids being ran over by backing SUVs?

Nive FC numbers! Skytech works!

Cx5 doesnt have a front sensor right?

aoryaj, what color is your cx5?

**aoryaj** · April 19th, 2013 11:02 PM

color is CWP... sayang nga wala pang mga accessories available locally, hopefully darating din dito in due months time. sana din dadami pa tayo dito :D
