Hi Prabhagar
I have purchased TIAGO in the month of May 2016. I am facing a problem to get the frequent info from TATA about the part updation or the ECU updation etc. Can you please give some idea how to get those updates on time

All cars in October and November would already have the ECU update. If the engine vibration is low and gear knob vibrates slightly when you hold the gear knob then it is okay.
[Also, I have observed some judder esp. during stop and go traffic in 1st and 2nd gears. I'm a new driver but have previously driven Santro as well but didn't face any such issue in that so not sure if that's because of my bad footwork with the clutch.]
This is a problem. I tried not accelerating at all when releasing the clutch in 1st gear and it seems to work most of the time. The problem is faced more when in traffic and one has to do this every few seconds. Suggest you raise it with the Service Agent when you take it next to the Tata Service Centre.
[Another thing I noticed yesterday that with full 5 adults at 5 am drove 20 km, chill outside 10-15 deg, everything fine until then... but came up with an uphill, I needed to go in 1st gear (wonder) in city mode... 2nd gear, I felt like huge drop in power all of a sudden from 1st to 2nd, as if I put gear lever in 4th by mistakenly instead of 2nd, but NO its is 2nd gear only... is it due to cool outside?? whereas I could go in 3rd gear the same in normal conditions...]
It depends on how much warming up took place before you reached the uphill section. If the engine is properly warmed up - the temp gauge will show two or more lighted up marks - then it should not happen unless the uphill gradient was quite steep. In that case it is better to drive up in 2nd gear rather than in 3rd and then have to downshift to 2nd on the slope. The car is heavy and moving it uphill or from standstill in a petrol driven engine requires more torque to be generated i.e. more RPMs.
I checked this with couple of Audio accessory shops nearby. Though initially they suggested changing speakers (before listening to audio) later they said damping of doors should suffice as the speakers are good. But one of them asked me to check with Tata as they will be removing the plastic cover inside doors, which might void warranty. And as expected, it was a Yes from Tata saying it will void warranty.
Door rattling at 50% of volume even with Bass set to 0 is purely irritating. More than 90% of rattle comes from rear doors, which is very near to my ear. It completely flushes out the enjoyment. I guess the only option left now is to raise it as complaint during my 1st service and see what Tata can do about this.
When we say 50% volume it only means the volume setting is 50%. The actual output depends on the input signal i.e. the signal from your media player or radio. If the input signal is recorded at lower level then you will find even 50% volume is too low. However, if it is recorded at a high level initially then 50% volume might be too high. Basically, the ears are the best judge for setting the volume. In the car unless you have a dedicated woofer in a super enclosure specially designed for rigidity you cannot expect high bass without rattling the structure of the doors etc.
After 5 months of ownership, I learned Tiago has panic alarm feature
. Thanks to Tirupati Bala Singh who found and shared this with fellow owners.
Activate: Press lock and unlock buttons on the remote key simultaneously.
De-Activate: Press any button on the remote key.

I had a very good experience at Concorde Motors, Delhi where their adviser (Gurpreet Singh) who came to deliver the car explained every quirky bit that we would not normally expect including the panic alarm feature or you can use it for location as well - bit noisy though. Of course I was smart and took delivery at home where I had him all to myself with no distractions.
Thank you Ashok,
Yes, I will get wheels balance as I have had doubt with it since 1st service (did not do then due to absence of technician).
My issue with door knob is when I am using remote from outside, knob comes out though not always. Yes, I am using driver door when inside. Anyhow, I will check this also with 2nd service.
My question was anything needed regularly to be taken care of in the 2nd service apart from these small issues... like ECU update, coz they did not do ECU update in 1st service stating it was up-to-date then (July)/anything else that I need to look.

Thank you
Doorknob problem needs to be checked out during your next visit.

. I have read your Team-BHP review soon after it went live. It was a great read for the less auto nuts like me (hopefully I will catch up soon). My car is close to 7K on the ODO and it has already bonded with me. I hope to keep this thread active for as long as I own it. ![[surprise]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Surprise.gif "Surprise [surprise]")
