Any feedback on the OEM 195/60/16 MRF Wanderers? Are they good enough, or a swap is warranted to either Michelin P3ST (if at all available) or Vredestein Ultrac or Continental UC6?

USP is comfort with some improvement in handling.

XL6 zeta owners,

Are there any specific cable specifications if one need to use android auto. Car in question is XL6 zeta with smart play infotainment system & AA works with OEM Sony Cables only. If i use any other generic cables, phone just refuses to connect with cable error on phone.

I use a Pixel 6A which comes with no OEM charger. The cable supplied is a C-type to C-type connector. I cannot use it to hook up to HU in XL6 zeta as port on HU is a USB 2.0 female connector. I tried using a Jabra OEM cable and it did not detected the phone et all. Tried another long cable and there too it failed to detect the phone.

Strangely enough phone was getting charged normally with both cables. Just that Android auto won't work.

I am using pixel 6a with this cable in smartplay studio system. Works well as it is short and has right angle port

Note that it won't connect with all cables especially the headphone charging ones. Use a good data transfer cable and you will be fine.

Some cables are just for "charging", while some are for "charging + data transfer". From outside, both looks same. So if you end up buying first type, it can only be used for charging. Before buying, check reviews/description to confirm if the cable can be used for data transfer. OEM cables are usually second type, hence it is working.

In general, any cable that works on laptop for data transfer should work for AA also.

Perhaps a Stupid question and answered somewhere on forum but "No question is stupid Question"

The service schedule is calculated from the date of delivery or Date of last service. For example you purchased / got delivery of car on 1st march & first service was a month later on 1st april .2nd service schedule is 6 months but will it be 1st sept or 1st Oct and how does it work for subsequent car service.

The service schedule is calculated from the date of delivery or Date of last service.

The intervals specified in the user manual are cumulative, i.e. from the date of purchase.

But since Kms is also a criterion, for practical purposes incremental differences in months are used, e.g. 2nd service is 5 months or 4k kms after 1st then third is 6 months or 5k kms after 2nd.

Took delivery of our White XL6 Alpha Plus AT variant on Wednesday.

The experience so far has been just as expected = சுமார் (meaning average), and I love the vehicle for it!

Will follow up with a detailed ownership review soon!

I have driven for around 300 KMs on the stock tyres in our new XL6 AT. We've put in around 50K KMs in our XUV 700 D MT on its stock Wanderers. Think they'll last another 10K KMs.

Summary = mediocre performance , but can take a fair bit of abuse.

I'm planning to switch to Contis for the XUV. But for the XL6, given the power and torque on offer, will probably stick to average Joe like the Wanderers in the interest of durability.

A small query regarding the 360 camera, how can one use the right side under mirror camera while parking?
I have had instances where I have had the need to park the car very close to the kerb on the right hand side, the 360 camera proved very useful on those times especially the part where only a single side cam is shown and not the complete car. I do not see that option anywhere, maybe MSIL can do it with an update.
As of today, I find no use for the right side camera.

Is there any new HU software version released? Got this notification in 'Suzuki Connect' app. Even package website has same Jan'23 package 72S0.04.00

I did get the same message, but nor the website, nor the smart play pro app shows anything.

There is no option to use only the Right-side camera (driver side). However, you can switch to the Left-side camera during Reverse or Drive gears. This is extremely helpful for me in certain parking areas where there is stones/tiny staircase blocking my left front tyre.

Also, in scenarios where I do need the Right-side camera view, I rely on the 360 view by putting in Parking gear or switching to the Top View of the car while in Drive gear.
I agree we do need the dedicated Right-side camera view option, and let's hope we get that via software update.

I am curious about this - Not sure if its already answered.
XL6 Alpha Plus variant has 360cam.
Can a software tweak not help it to turn into a multi-channel dashcam?
If possible, can we do this aftermarket without voiding the warranty?

Hello, there might be below problems that I think will not let the above happen:
Software Problem - To read and store the data, you will need memory card support on the inbuilt head unit which will need alteration on the software front. Only the original manufacturer can do that with a software upgrade.

Hardware Problem - The camera is hard wired to only to the head unit, the analog signal cannot be tapped to take data elsewhere and the inbuilt unit does not have memory chips to support storage.
Change in head unit hardware might create bigger issues with compatibility of the camera overall.

I would be happy if MSIL can do it, but seems highly impossible for that to happen.
