I am waiting on AutosBay's answer (more like copy and paste)

I swear I was just about to post that but u beat me to it.

It is a very normal thing to stop at the scene of an accident and examine the car before anything. Both parties should come down check the amount of damage and if possible take pictures and some measurement before clearing out of the road. Fighting in the middle of the road is another thing entirely. But u just don't expect someone to hit me and I immediately clear off the road, that is never done anywhere. At least the culprit should accept he is at fault then I can clear off the road and we negotiate.

Yes it is unfortunate that other road users would be disturbed but that is not my fault. How can u claim ur not at fault when u clear off the road immediately without taking evidence? This is a normal thing in any country.

You upgraded via custom Rom, OTA or LG PC suite?

I've downloaded the latest ROM v20D since the last one. This is a completely stock ROM, no root needed. U can download the kdz file from www.xda-developers.com. u have to flash with lg flash tool which u can download online. The instructions are there on XDA, if u don't get it I can give u step by step guide, very easy.

It depends on the situation and amount of damage. When someone drives recklessly and hit my car u don't expect me to shake hands and drive on... It is never done anywhere, especially when that person fail to realize his mistake. So u expect me to bear the damage every time a reckless driver hits my car? Op walahi u funny die.

And I really don't know what u mean by naija mentality because in the US and other countries when ur car gets involved in an accident u have to wait there until the cops show up especially when both parties don't agree.

Why the noise? This model is already at least 2 to 3 years old. If don't like it buy an after market stereo like high speed or xplod

And then what? Remove the big navigation screen? What sense is there?

Actually more and more cars are coming without CD players, for the last 2 years there has been a steady increase in the number of cars that do not have CD players standard.

http://www.edmunds.com/car-technology/the-car-cd-player-deathwatch.html

The link is from last year, but even more cars have ditched their CD players.

Only few cars are produced without CD players, and those cars have alternatives which is streaming. Music and videos can be streamed right from the internet. Those cars are not relying solenly on music from smart phones or mp3s. Now ask urself this, does this innoson SUV have Pandora, iHeartRadio, HD radio or sattelite radio. Does it even have ipod compatibility? The answer is NO, so why remove the CD player when u don't have an alternative. Even if it has these services, which internet do u want to stream from? This is just like importing a car with navigation from north America and selling it as premium here in Nigeria when we all know the navigation is useless here.

Totally eradicating CD players is not yet ripe for Nigeria, we still have a long way to go. Our internet is slow and subscription is very expensive, so there's no way streaming service will work (at least not yet). Until then, CD players will always play a big part. Also most luxury SUVs can play DVD, and once a system can play DVD then it will automatically play audio CD.

If playing music from ur phone through Bluetooth into the car's audio is what u call innovation then u are still learning. What happens if u want to skip a track, grab ur phone and change the track? How is that safe? If I can't see my music on my car's dashboard and control it from the dashboard without touching my phone then it is useless and no no. This is where iPod comes into play, but I doubt of this car even has iPod compatibility.

Very nice car and good competitor with Mercedes Benz s class and BMW 7 series, plus u can't beat that Toyota reliability.

Bit wait o op... 16million, are u kidding me? Or is that the price of 2 pieces of the car. A brand new 2014 model is about $80,000 which is still not up to 16M (shipping and clearing not included). Anyway, u realize this is a super luxury car and they lose their value faster than passenger cars. A 2012 Lexus LS460 L sells for about $43,000. Do the maths. What about warranty? If I'm paying that much for a car I need the warranty in tact. This is one of the reasons luxury cars lose their values faster when their warranty ends.

Hyundai i10 1.0L. But don't expect the luxury, handling, space, security and performance of bigger cars.

See how android audio kicks apple carPlay as$. The interface, ease of use etc android comes on top. Apple carPlay looks like something that was built 5 years ago. Apple is really overrated.

monemsis:
cos of emergencies like car break downs cos auto cars can't be towed

Shuo, who told u auto can't be towed, the problem is they do everything wrong in this country. When towing an auto car, the drive wheel is supposed to be jerked up. If ur car is FWD, then the front wheels should be jerked and towed with the rear wheels. If the car is RWD, then it should be towed backwards with rear wheels jerked up.

Homguy:
At siena, lonelydora, greenhulk, domack99,...I can't be closer to the truth if I said you all are whining about the vehicle lacking a CD player because its an indigenous make. Here's what a simple google search provided, www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/08/04/cd-players-cars-disappear/2601827/

Yet, no one is yet to shed a tear about it. So please cut this dude some slack, it takes balls of steel to attempt anything like this in nigeria,despite all odds stacked against him rather than inspite any favorable atmosphere present here.

My guy just face the truth. This has nothing to do with the car being Nigerian made or not. Even a buggati veyron that is strictly a racing car with little or no entertainment has CD player, not to talk of an SUV (utility vehicle).

Not everyone has time to play music from their phones or SD cards. In fact, a high percentage of Nigerians that are 40 + years know nothing about computer or transferring music to media. They only need their cars FM and CD player, are u saying this SUV is not for them? This is just like building a mobile phone that shoots amazing photos but can't make a simple thing as send a text message. Whats the point of having a big navigation/media screen in a car and yet they didn't include a CD player?

Look if u are going to completely replace something, then u should have something that is easier and more convinent than the one u are replacing. When CD payers replaced cassette platers, it was obvious CDs are better and more convenient to use. U can skip tracks on CDs which is impossible with cassettes. BMW built a car and didnt add an extra trye but they included run flat tyres which are more convinent than changing tyres.

Now how is playing music from phones or mp3 players or SD cards more convinent than CD players. Yes they could be more convinent but what would u go through before getting the music there? Let's say I like 2face and I want to get his new album, simple just buy CD and play. OK u can also buy and download on iTunes but what if I don't have a credit card? I can download a few tracks online but not while album (even though it is possible to download full album for free) but who has that time ? Plus I am going to waste my internet data to download. If BMW , Toyota, Audi, Mercedes Benz, etc still add CD players to their cars, who is innoson not to. Yes it is good to innovate but mp3 or SD card capability is not an innovation of innoson either.

AutosBay:
Normal wheels are made from a pressed-steel rim, and a pressed-steel centre disc which is welded to the rim. They are cheap, but heavy and generally unattractive, and they are prone to rust. In an impact they tend to bend, sometimes making it possible to continue driving after a serious impact (but at greater risk, so drive carefully).
Alloy wheels are made from aluminium alloy, usually cast but sometimes forged. Most are made in one piece, but some can be made of three separate parts bolted together at the rim (lots of tiny bolts around the wheel rim). They are generally more attractive, lighter and less prone to rust. Cast wheels can fracture in a severe impact.
The light weight can give benefits in roadholding and handling because of the reduced unsprung mass of the wheel assembly. This means the wheel needs less energy to move in response to bumps, so improving the ride and keeping the tyre in contact with the road surface for a greater time. However this benefit can be lost if the wheel is bigger than the standard, or the suspension is stiffened from standard.

Lagusta:
But wait, lets examine this critically, how many nigerians use their CD players, there are more mp3 players in nigerian cars nowadays....

Some even buy phone auxilliary cables and plug it in, playing music from their phones....

So whats the biggie about CD players?

CD players are becoming obsolete, but no doubt they are still required in cars, even the most expensive cars have CD players even though they have other medias like Pandora, sattelite radio, etc. I can't remember the last time I played CD in my car, its always my connected iPod or FM.

But then let's take a look at this scenerio, u are driving and come across an album u like on the road, just buy it slot into ur car CD player and enjoy. Why wait until u get home, rip the CDz transfer into ur mp3 player before u can enjoy it in ur car. It doesn't make any sense. Or let's say u went to a seminar or church and u bought the CD of the event, how can u listen to it in ur car without first converting it into mp3... Doesn't make sense.

So my brother, CD players are very essential in any car. Especially in Nigeria that streaming is not yet embraced. If it were in advanced countries it is easy to stream Pandora or iHeartRadio from ur car, but which network will offer u that here in Nigeria? If innoson decide not to include a CD player in their car (which I still don't believe ) then its a very BIG FAIL. As for me I take metadata very important, so I take my time to get my music on my iPod and the metadata can be displayed right there on my head unit with the album art, but sometimes there is no time to transfer stuff into my iPod which is where CD players come into use.

TCD:
why do you keep lifting responses from Google without referencing the link you stole it from passing yourself as an expert when all you do is Google and shamelessly copy and paste without credit to the real author.

All your posts are stolen verbatim down to the full stop from Google. you are not even smart enough to edit it a little.

I thought y'all said keshi has lost it when he invited Samuel

Ha haha, lwkmd, omeruo is overrated, and Uche? Make I reserve my comment

kelechiMarie:
no d guy vex me na i was about to jump on my bro and shout goal tcheew

Let's look at it this way, an SA player was through to our goal and did exactly the same thing musa did and our goal keeper saved it. Everyone would be like UP ENYEAMA, ENYEAMA FOR AFOTY, etc. But because it was musa that missed now u blame musa forgetting the goalkeeper did a great job to stop him.

JEITO:
Mussssssssaaaaaaaaaaaa shey u no dey watch messi and cr7 ni


I hope these chances doesn't haunt us later

Dude, musa was on target in both chances but for the goalkeeper's heroics. U can't blame him, if he was off target it would have been a different scenerio. Ronaldo, Messi, di maria have missed worse chances.

jeremiah505:
What... how did that guy missed that goal?...

Goalkeeper saved it. He was on target, keeper says no, if that was enyeama we all would be hailing him. We have seen the best players in the world miss better chances. Musa is our most dangerous player.

How many times will I say that Ahmed musa is our most dangerous player going forward. Some people still hating on him asking for him to be benched.

MadCow1:
MIKEL SLOWBI...



We all know that the Through pass Mikel played towards Emenike that led to the Penalty can be liken to an Eclipse.. The last time Mikel played a forward through pass, Lionel Messi had no World player trophy..


Drop Mikel..

He dropped the same through pass to musa against Sudan. Now how many of our players are technically sound and can play such passes? Onazi, akpan? I don't think so. The first thing that comes to mind of an average African player when he gets the ball in opposition half is to either run with it or shoot. Mikel is different, he is technically sound than all our players, yet we all love to hate him. Yes he is slow, but what he lacks in speed he gains in tecnical areas. You should look at emenike, he has speed and stenght but lacks brain and that is why he plays in turkey.

Fresh reports saying di maria and uke shaw are doubtful against arsenal. But nani dey very stewpid. How can he tackle di maria like that, friendly match for that matter and at old Trafford.

constance500:
U don vex

Vex for Wetin? But u sef quick to conclude that someone is jumping molue just because he bought a Camry for his gf. A car that is not even up to N3 million.

constance500:
i don quote the right person na, which one b your own sef

buy a car for your gf when you are still running after molue, seriously, witches in your village don use your balls do barbecue

Ur comment sums up ur level of IQ. No need arguing with u.

constance500:
you bought her a camry, das good, but dont come and tell us she dump you later o

See me see wahala, do I look like the op? And moreover what kind of mentality do nigerians have? Since when has it become a crime to buy a car for someone's gf? U lots don't know the kind of relationship they have, or the status of op's acct. Why the hate? This forum is meant to be for matured minds.

@lomomike, I think u failed to see the humor in his comment.

@op, the best oil for ur car is 5w20. The Mobil 1 sold in nigeria is mostly 0w40. So the best thing is for u to get a 5w20 oil, doesn't matter if it is Mobil or oando or total or milemaster, so far the rating is 5w20.
