Mirage - Issues/Problems?

**baludoy** · January 2nd, 2018 06:23 PM

so w/c is the better car, the mirage or the rebadged wigo?

my brother and sister both have the mirage in their stable but i really haven't ridden in them yet, save for short trips w/in las pinas only - w/c is too short a ride to draw conclusions from

That's somewhat true. But I am 6-ft tall and it's really not that bad. You just have to work with the front passengers so that they don't recline their backrest or slide the front seats all the way to the rear stops. :D

my 2014 wigo is still absolutely problem-free at 40K km.
not the engine.. not the body, chassis or underchassis.. at wala pa namang nabubunggo ang ulo sa loob sa kisame..
it has gone thru slex.. thru edsa intermittent parking.. 3 hour traffic..

Eto pa.
Looks like all mirage gls (hb and g4, yung may navi at touch screen) HU's are affected by a time bug. Nagrereset yung time.

Confirmed that 2015 gls HU's are not affected. Tested mine and it is all good.

A recall might be in order. Or perhaps a software update.

there is a possibility, that for some reason, electricity going to the HU gets cut off, when starting the engine.
the time and station settings can get erased.
i do not know if the HU has a memory battery or not. if it has, it is probably dying.

Only time is affected doc. Yung mga preset na stations is still in tact.

For the sake of due diligence, check if you can have the clock sync to the GPS time (if it's a Navi model).

On mine kasi (aftermarket 2DIN), the clock can be set three ways:
1. Manually
2. RDS Sync - Some relatively newer FM stations supports RDS to provide station ID and quite possibly other info like artist name, song name, etc. But I have yet to see stations provide time synchronization. But this was years ago.
3. GPS Sync - As the name implies, it syncs time to the GPS everytime it gets enough satellites. The time can't get any more accurate than this

Yung mga older models like 2014 and below doesnt have the option to sync it.

Yung mga 2015 HU ang merong manual set or sync with gps.

it does? Mine is 2015 GLS but doesn't seem to have the option to sync with gps. However, when using the navi, the time displayed on the map is from gps.

Mukhang hindi lang maka move on to 2018 ang mga 2014 headunits. [emoji14] I read somewhere that it's the same for the Monteros?
