Update on 360 Degree camera installation

I have delayed the installation as I was not able to get a good Android unit of my preference in my area. Most accessory shops have the 2GB RAM with quad core processors (2GB is okay with me but I prefer Octacore). Still, the search is on.

In the meantime, I have downloaded the Car Launcher App which gives a nice look and seems working fine so far.

It has the feature of bringing all widgets (or which ever widgets you want) onto the face page which is convenient to use those widgets in one click on the icon. Previously, If I need to switch on the front camera, I had to open the apps list then click on ''A/V In'' icon. Now I can directly switch on the ''A/V In'' icon to activate the front camera which is lined up in front of the screen and go back to other features easily.

It seems easy to operate all widgets with one touch which are now available/located conveniently.

Let me use this app until I find a proper Android system with 360 camera setup.!

Another paid service done yesterday. The SA advised to do the Wheel alignment as same was not done so far. There were no complaints from my side, hence they did the general minor service.

Total Bill Rs.4305/-

Details:

Windshield fluid 50ml - Rs.67.80
Adhesive weight strip with acrylic tape: Rs.118.75
Anabond 25gm: Rs/84.75
Minor service charges: Rs.650
Remove & install Brake disc (each side): Rs.229.50
Replace brake pads 1 : Rs.204
Washing & vacuuming: Rs.510
Brake system check and determine condition(rear brake cleaning): Rs.663
Front wheel alignment check and adjust: Rs.382.50
Balance Wheel (wheel removed) each: Rs.306
Servicepro plus: Rs.325
Consumables: Rs.97

(CGST+SGST amount not added on above)

+

The gear knob leather wrap has been worn out and have asked them to change it. The SA said the wrap itself cannot be changed instead whole gear lever has to be changed. They don't have the stock and need to get it from Tata which may take a week at least. Also, he advised that the normal gear knob cover (leather or silicon) is available online which will be much cheaper and easy to use.

Gear knob cover - online sources

Shortlisted below two items from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B083KNWFWY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A38ZYAWG4L25XS&th=1

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08HX1GTQJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A38ZYAWG4L25XS&th=1

The first item (silicon cover) is only meant for AMT gear knobs and one Tata Tiago reviewer confirmed its a good fit. (Gear knob of Tata Tiago and Tigor are same, I presume)

The leather one looks very bulky and loose fit. I too feel the silicon one will be the ideal one.

Any comments /suggestions please ?

Silicon seems to be the better one in terms of fit. Make sure to remove and clean it once in a while. There will be moisture and later a gummy formation over time under the surface.

Another option would be a custom leather cover, which would have proper fit.

Tata Motors recommend their own brand Windshield washer fluid which was filled up in my car during the last service.

The 50ml pack costs Rs.40/- and can be mixed with 3 litres of water.

Gear Knob cover (Post no.201)

I ordered one knob cover at Rs.325/-. Today I received the product today, but it is not silicone material as mentioned by the seller instead I got the rubber material (seems manufactured from recycled old tyre tubes?).

Rs.325 is too high for this small product and fitting was very very difficult as being rubber product it was too tight and inserting the cover to the gear knob was not at all easy (I broke one of my fingernails in the exercise).

The product I received and after fitting it on the gear knob​

My suggestion - do not buy this product.

Minor scratch on my Tigor's body (fender?)

Today, while I was coming from a drive and whilst entering my gate, the left rear fender part simply scratched the side pillar of the compound gate. For the last 6 years or more, I have been driving this car and entered the same gate many times, but never happened like this. A momentary loss of concentration resulted in this hit.

I could have moved the car another an inch before taking the left turn and I could have avoided the hit.

IMG_20241021_160842.jpg


There is no bend or dent in the area, but the skin has gone, and the gate pillar paint color is what it shows there as white.

My next paid service already due, and I have now booked for a service on the 23rd of October. I will show this to service guys and check how much they will charge for this. Knowing these service guys, I feel they will ask a good amount. If that's the case, then I will do it from some FNG who do the paint work also.

Any easy way to get rid of the scratch - like spray-painting in that area?

Not seen any comments/suggestions so far.

Anyway, gave the car for routine service this morning to Tata Service center and asked them to do the paint work (to remove the scratch) also. They quoted Rs.3/3200 approx for the paint work.

Will update tomorrow or day after tomorrow (they seem very busy, especially the paint section).

It seems, they have charged only Rs.1180 for the minor paint work which is very reasonable and job done very nicely.

I have not asked for interior cleaning, but they have done it on their own, but I like it. The car interior now looks fresh and give the look of a new car.

Thanks
