Besides changing the door panel, the rear fender will be replaced. They will have to CUT the old piece out and replace with a new one
Went to PML to pick up my ride. Sadly, they didn't manage to smoothen the door panel and I can still spot minor imperfection. According to PML, they claimed that the dent remover guy dare not knock from the outside to improve the uneven area fearing the paint is still soft. They suggest I bring back in a month's time when the paint is fully set in.
I asked if it is related to paint quality and they claimed it's the panel, and they are cofident that the dent remover guy can further improve the situation. Will see but unless one scrutinize it very carefully, it's hardly noticeable and I am ok to accept it as it is. But since Stanley insisted that I give him the opportunity to correct the imperfection, at no extra cost, so that he is fully satisfied. I respected his attitude. Good guy indeed.
Oh, saw your ride on the 2nd floor being dismembered from the back. They have already cut off the damaged panel and a guy was busy knocking out the inner panel. I managed to snap a pic of your ride, undressed from the rear! If you have a strong heart, I can email to you.

Hahaha, I was at PML at around 12.30p.m to collect my remote control of my house gate (forgotten to take it out yesterday). Had took a snap of my ride before the surgery
Already it looks bad enough. I don't mind to keep a copy of the picture during surgery for the record.Asked Stanley about your ride and he told me you have yet to collect it. Thought of inspecting for you but in end feel Paiseh because I don't know the your reg. no. and afraid being asked " how come you don't even know your good friend ride?
..hehehehe.

initially they said wont be ready until tomo 4pm then they called and says its ready they managed to do it today.
so im not really sure what been done or is it really done or nothing.
daily driving around sg not enough to test the car out.
i wont know until i push my car hard and that is not possible in sg road looks like i will be going up north to whack it again.

When they said they changed it means they did change it. PML always have these ECUs in stock as part of their inventory. They have to according to agent requirements.
Actually its a simple process. Remove the ECU, plug in a new one and do a coding according to your chassis number and its done. Probably takes about an hour or so. Then the foreman will go out test drive. After that plug in diagnositic and if no faults in the ECU, they'll release the car which they did.
Yeah, looks like you got to make it next time to the chicken rice balls.

Q. How do I unlock to a second compatible Garmin unit I own what I have unlocked to one compatible Garmin I own?
A. Please find your Customer Code for the unlock system (depending on what you owned first, it will be an original 8 digit coupon code that you used to get a 25 digit unlock code or a 7 digit registration code that came with a unit and a particular software product). Please see "What is the difference between a 7 digit unlock registration code and an 8 digit original coupon code?"
After locating your Garmin Customer Code, complete the following steps:
Open MapSource.
Open the Unlock Wizard (either with CTRL + U or under "Utilities/Unlock Maps"). Click "Next".
Choose "No, I need to get a 25-character unlock code". Click "Next".
Enter your information and choose your emailing options. Click "Next".
Click "Next" for the UnlockWizard to connect to the Internet. Note - If you are using AOL, MSN, ATT WorldNet, or a similar Internet Service Provider, you will need to start the service before clicking "Next".
Enter your Garmin Customer Code (the 7 or 8 digit code). Click "Next".
Verify the information that appears. Click "Next".
Choose the option: "Unlock Additional Garmin Unit". Click "Next".
Select an option to identify the Garmin unit for which you are unlocking maps. Click "Next".
If manually entering serial number, enter it now, click "Next", and see below for further instructions.
If connecting unit to get the Internal Unit ID number, follow prompts, and see below for further instructions.
After providing serial or Internal Unit ID number, You will be asked what product and/or region you want to unlock to this second unit. Continue to follow the prompts from there to install the code into your MapSource.

33, if we do buy license, do you know if future updates are free? It will be extremely expensive if we have to purchase maps (@ S$400+ a pop) everytime there is an update!
I really just want to have street search and if possible, HDB blocks on the Nuvi and it would be PERFECT!
My Traffic Camera didn't give any warnings (visual or voice)... something wrong with the settings or the way I uploaded the POI?
