Hi, i have contacted maruti through email regarding tyres... Now they replied with asking dealers address and my details.... Should i give details of dealer... Will dealer abuse me for contacting maruti....?
Hi annadon. Sorry I have not read your issue properly. But I can say that no Maruti dealer will ever abuse you for contacting Maruti. Maruti is very serious in dealing with customer complaints. So rest assured.

[/I][/B]Hello ford fiesta 1.6
HO ABOUT SMARTPLAY CAN WE CONNECT ANDROID PHONE? CAN IT PLAY VIDEOS?
Yes, Bro You can Connect Android Phones to smartplay unit using Mirrorlink Or AndroidAuto (If Equipped), But it works for Some Phones and some not, There is a Website by Mirrorlink For checking Compatible Devices, Like For instance It doesn't Work On my Android Phone (Letv) But Apple carplay works like a charm I use a Iphone 5S And it works just right! Yeah We can play videos through Youtube, The External DVD Player Works, But you should Buy USB To DVD Player Device and Place a CD in it and watch the Video, Also the Video Cuts Off when you start driving the car above 20Kmph For Safety Reasons, To prevent driver from getting distracted, I think Same applies for the Youtube Videos too, Using Apple carplay/Mirrorlink.

Yes, We can't Play video while we drive, Also we can't type anything in navigation while driving, You should use Voice Commands to make any changes in navigation while driving. Awesome Bro, Congrats on your prize, You know how much good luck it is, to get something valuable with your car! Yes always, They wash the car and detail it a bit, on the day of delivery.

Oh I know how it feels like as i was at the same Feeling 4 Months Ago!!!

Do Post Some pics of your car here after getting it delivered!!!

Thanks. MY QUESTION SEEMS SILLY BUT HOW TO COMPLETE OFF THE CAR? Just through keyless start/stop button or something else?
After Riding the car, Just Press The Start/Stop Button To Stop The Engine.[:)] The SHVS Might Stop the engine, But you should also press the button once to Bring the engine complete to a Stop.

Hey @FordFiesta1.6,

Very nice write up. I was so tempted to read every post in your thread that it took three days to me read every post in your thread. [:)]

I am also planning to buy Ertiga as the only option available in market for a no nonsense family car. However, I am confused if this is the best time to get it or not as 2017 Ertiga Drezza is already launched in Indonesia and I think we can expect this to be launched in India soon (may be in next 3-4 months). By any chance do you happen to know launch date updates for Ertiga Drezza?

One more thing, I am getting some discount for August 2016 model of ZXI Plus in Granite Grey color. They also have July 2016 ZXI Plus in white color as well. What discount you think is good for buying previous year make? As background information, I am okay with ZXI features and not at all tempted for ZXI Plus features except the rear view camera.

I am in hurry of buying the new vehicle as I already have a deal for my old Honda Brio which I have to hand over by mid April to the buyer. And Maruti dealership is saying that waiting period for the new Ertiga is 6-8 weeks which would make me without car for next 1.5-2 months. So, it seems only option for me is to take one of the 2016 model from the dealer. [confused]

Note: Please excuse my typos or any violation from forums standards as this is my first post. [:)]

Hi Vikas,

Thank you so much, Glad to know that my typing is really That good to read[:)], Yes Ertiga is one car that is currently worth paying in its segment. And As you said, in 2016 Model For the ZXi+ I would recommend a 10K in accessories, plus whatever the dealer is ready to give as discount as default for the 2016 As even i got 6K From dealer for accessories For the 2016 model and i bought the car on Nov 2016 also it was a very fresh stock, So you can definitely get atleast 8-9K. But before registering the car go to the stock yard, And check the car's condition thoroughly and get the car's VIN No. and check it online for the manufacturing date, As my Swift was also a 2013 model and i bought it on 2014 Jan, The dealer said the car was Manufactured on Oct 2013 But after purchasing the car i checked it once again and it was March 2013! But i can't do anything as i have completed 20K Km, and Got so attached to the car. So check before buying. I would say get the Granite grey ZXi+ as its possibly the new one(August made).

And talking about the Ertiga Dreza, There is no official Announcement from maruti Regarding the launch date in india, And even if it gets launched to india, I don't think It will sell much as its front doesn't appeal much (To me Atleast), And its always safe to get the Standard ertiga, As it looks Elegant and stunning also the parts availability and resale would be a lot easier.

Any Help or doubt Feel Free To Private Message me Or Post a comment here[:)]

No Bro, Not Ertiga But Basically new diesel engine's sound loud compared to the used Diesel engines, Even mine was loud the engine sound gradually reduce in running and in and after 10K Engine Oil Service[:)] Nothing to worry, Also i would recommend you to use Synthetic oil, it would be costly but the results is definitely worth it, The response from engine and gear will be so smooth, and the engine sound will also be reduced. And Congrats Again on your new Family member, The Ertiga!!!

Incase any help needed in Creating ownership thread Do not hesitate to PM Me[:)]
