Celebrated 20,000 km in 10 months by giving my Seltos a few upgrades

Done 20 km with the new Bridgestone tyres and the initial impression is that they are on par with the Continentals.

Milestone Celebration: 20,000km Journey in 10 months!

Last week, I took my car for its 20,000km service. Everything went smoothly, and there were no issues with the car so far. Thanks to My Convenience Plan, I only had to pay for the wipers, distilled water, balancing weights (wheel alignment), and windshield washer, totalling ₹1,200.

I like this car; it's a significant upgrade from the S Cross 1.3.

Here are the modifications I've made so far:

1. Installed Viofo A229 with hardwiring kit
2. Added an armrest cushion with side pockets

3. PPF (Xeno Guard)
4. Door Damping (STP) about 5 months ago, significantly reducing cabin noise. Before the 2nd service, I heard a knocking sound from the engine bay, but it's no longer audible after the service.

5. Installed Carlinkit 5.0, which works well. However, I need clarification on how it prioritizes connecting to my wife's iPhone and my Pixel when both phones are in the car. Any insights from the members would be appreciated.

6. Bridgestone Turanza 6i. Although I initially considered changing the tyres at the time of purchase, I found the JKs satisfactory.

I've always had good experiences with Continentals, and a Bridgestone dealer friend recommended the Turanza 6i as an equivalent option. The cost was ₹13,500 per tyre, although the official price is ₹14,350 each.

The warranty covers 3 years from the date of purchase or up to 60% tread wear, whichever comes first. I have attached the warranty certificate.

I have driven for 20km post the installation of tyres, and the initial impression is that the tyres are silent and are on par with the continentals. I have a couple of highway runs coming this weekend. I will post a more extended review next week.

I only have a little time to write a more detailed review. However, I'm open to answering specific questions if anyone has any.
