Proton has released an update for the X70’s GKUI infotainment system, which will be released over-the-air, much like a firmware update on your phone. To ensure a smooth update experience, the national carmaker also posted a step-by-step guide on the process on its Facebook page.
Once the vehicle is started, the system will automatically check for the latest update, and will prompt the driver if there is one. You’ll next need to download the update package, which does not use any of the free 1 GB per month quota that comes with the car.
After the update has been downloaded, simply start the update process, and when completed, perform a factory reset as the final step. During the update process, you’ll need to keep the car in the ACC or ON positions, and should you turn the car off, the update will be paused, only be resumed the next time you start again.
Additionally, the GKUI system will be disabled during the update process, which will take around 40 minutes with a good signal connection. The update has been made available from January 21, 2019.
The update, which carries the version number 1.2.0 2.3.3, comes with a number of changes. Among them (that) is the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is now turned on by default; the powered side mirrors can now automatically fold in when locking/unlocking the doors on the Standard variant; and the settings menu has been updated with revised English terms and arrangement, as well as a setting for the power folding side mirrors on all variants.
Other changes include a fix whereby the user’s settings for the BLIS and Door Opening Warning System (DOW) are retained when the car is turned off. An issue where pressing the mute button could wake the car’s infotainment system when it has been switched off, has also been rectified.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
wow, culture shock, thanks china for the great proton!
30 years we waited for a Good car. Proton never gave us. When Geely took over, within 6 months, a foreigner give us a good and safe car
This is really fast. I like the speed!
Circus show by P2 jesters starting in 3, 2, 1…..
40 mins ……car battery boleh tahan ke?
I accidentally left my car since 9am and until end of work hour 5pm
With emergency signal light turn on.. Coz didn’t close my back door properly.. And magically.. I can start the car back…
the headunit using data is not convenient if the area has no line, the headunit cannot work.
No shit Sherlock. Just like you can’t Facebook Whatsapp if area has no line.
last time Proton action got YES 4G Wifi. Then all Proton dealers sell the YES wifi modem separately to non Proton owners
That day the Proton X70 owners said, “Proton, jom minum teh 8X”
Terus the car masuk parit
Xminum teh pun masuk laut.
Tenkiu P1 for caring about their customers. Much like smartpongs, OTA must be done even on cars since lots of personal details can be stored and hacked out.
Much like smartpongs, every OTA updates decrease the smartphone performance and battery. Same goes to X70 head unit OTA update. In 3 years, the headunit will broke and have to change it with expensive price. Good business strategy by Proton to gain profit.
Is that so? Then why my Mi4 still gets OTA updates and I never felt it lagging? Stop bullshitting here. China is so much better in Android systems management, this is not your Samsung.
“China is so much better in Android system management” shows that you know nothing about tech. You better goto a tech site and learn before you post bullshit like this in this site.
No, China is bad in software optimizing. Your MI4 is not lagging because the powerful chipset MI4 is using. On the other hand, this P2 troll Roti john Sdn Bhd have a weird name and is talking rubbish that made him looked like a clown. That is why he should go to a circus and apply as a clown
Please come out from cave, smartphones nowadays no longer lags with subsequent updates unlike phones of old. Please go change that ancient iphone1 with all that money earned as a paid trooper.
U still using cavemen smartpong kah? Few years alredi smartpongs no longer lags due to updates anymore. Keep up with technology and the times. Most pipu r more concern on their private date being hacked due to outdated systems unlike u.
Geely should open directly in Malaysia and sell us Geely cars direct. I trust Geely cars.
Geely and Proton wanted to, but Bapa NNCP said cannot. Must plotek his NNCP baby from being stillborn.
I oso trust Geely but what to do. Bapak needs to plotek his Perotiga baby so not allow Geely closer partnership with P1. Otherwise we can have cheaper cars.
Oso 783MB downloaded in 7 minutes?! Thats freaking dem fast speeds! The potential for P1 GKUI is endless. Once AA & Carplay is integrated via OTA, it will totally destroy other dinosar infotainment systems.
China work hard. They never sleep like Proton workers or yourself
john doesn’t sleep but he is a keyboard warrior. Everyday he work hard by typing in this site in every articles to increase Proton sales
Last time he tried to make people support BN, but people were smart enough to vote for a new clean govt. now, he wants people to buy a China-made car that has been rejected by 97% of the world
So fed up of fake news from john in this site. No wno more dedak, he also disappear
Sorry but when I got to your Perodua showroom I only see you sleeping in the showcar. Straight away I got disinterested in Aruz and went to book for Proton’s X70.
Lolz! Both r working hard to fulfill the 15,000 and more counting orders. U think they got so much free time like urself in ur empty showroom meh?
Stop replying me with drunken bollocks. Once u sober up and talk sense then come back and reply me with with some brains.
Wow, lucky China took over Proton. I fnot for Geely, we will never imagine having such high tech in our Proton cars.
Well done Li Chunrong and well done Geely!
Saw new X70 shipment arrived in port klang , hope to collect my red X70 premium b4 CNY^^
So lucky! Mine will only arrive after National Day. Hope it gets the OTA updates when I will receive my car by then.
The red is veli smexy and veli matching for all seasons. U made the right choice.
Habisla Protong Ex Seventy! I’m sure that every OTA updates will slowdown the head unit until it can’t operate and forces owner to replace with a new one.
Sounds like iPhone experience.. haha!
Looks like this jester is using an iPhone and he relate his iPhone OTA update with the X70 HU updates. This is just the first X70 HU OTA update and how can you know it will slowdown the HU?
You still stuck in 2010 is it? Latest firmwares no longer experience performance slowdown after updates.
Attacking Proton using John’s name sounds really desperate for some SA, sales bad lately???
The more he attacks P1 means the fear is getting stronger. It seems P2 sales is going down bad and their SUV isnt as hot as they predicted. No matter, X70 sales is getting stronger and stronger. More and more can be seen on the roads.
P1, Geely, Mesidis, VolvoCars, VolvoTrucks, Lotus > all
No need all this.
Reliable , RV, Spare parts cheap, great mechanics etc, thats what we want.
Need all these?
Reliable 1.5L NA + 4AT, great RV, cheap spare parts, any mechanic can fix ect.
Congratulations, you just bought a Perodua.
Is it the famous honda EX5 that you the only one want?
780+MB download in 40 mins !!!! 4G connection konon.
“Additionally, the GKUI system will be disabled during the update process, which will take around 40 minutes with a good signal connection.” doesn’t it meant download+installation?
kesian baca tp tak paham. 40 minit bukan download update saja ♀️
Theoretical 4Gspeeds vs Actual 4Gspeeds.
That also you want to gripe? Somemore can update while on the move, so no time is wasted.
Facepalm!
My gripe is with the telco (Celcom) & it’s crony (Altel).
Theoretical 4G (14.83 Mbps, per OpenSignal’s ‘The State of LTE’ 2018 report) would have meant that 780+MB file be downloaded in about 7 mins but the article states 40 mins with GOOD signal !!!! That means Celcom & Altel can only achieve 2.60 Mbps with GOOD signal !!!!
Would you be satisfied with such slow speed when you get your X70??
buy crv and cx5 better…those car buatan malaysia…x70 jenama malaysia buatan tiongkok
Can it be downloaded OTA using Wifi? If possible, just need to park at the house porch & update using house’ Wifi connection, just like smartphones.
It doesn’t use any of the 4G data, so why worry?
Yes, switch on HU WiFi & log into your home WiFi.
40min with good signal.. omg..
OMG so many people have reading and comprehension deficiencies. 40 mins for the whole update process, which means including download and installation. Plus can be done while on the go. What’s so hard about that?
OTA update and free monthly data? Never before have I heard those two being offered on the same vehicle. Good job Proton and Geely!
Really that simple to win over consumers with stupid gimmicks? Well not surprising considering 35% of voters went for BN in the just election. Same group of low iq buyers of Chinese gimmicks
Why not? Simpler gimmicks like Rm1.50 petrol, double up internet speeds, higher BR1M than BN, minimum salary Rm1500, no more tolls, free tertiary education, and many more works didn’t it? Making good these promises OTOH…..
Its typical proton/chinese,its all good to start with ,it will show its true colours after 3 years&why the interest rate 2.36?
anyone using infotaiment bluetooth hands-free? my problem is receiver couldn’t hear very clear…
Does anyone have problem after the latest update on the x70 infotainment unit? Bluetooth problem when making call, having statics noise and the unit keep getting stuck and the controller on the steering doesn’t respond on the head unit. Also when trying to make call you cannot say out the name and have to read out the phone number. I mean who still remember the phone number now a day???
