Perodua Bezza Advance - Car Battery Replacement

Smartphone mount for Perodua Bezza - U-Green CD-slot mount

I have been using the U-Green CD-slot phone car mount holder for about 2 weeks. Here's my 2 cents view.







The U-Green smartphone mount is cheap, sleek and a small-sized smartphone mount. It's not the best out there and comes with some drawbacks, but it's cheap and well-built. The smartphone does wobble when the car is going over harsh and bumpy roads. The biggest problem is the mount can slip out of the CD-slot when I try to mount my phone.

A little diy

Here's an easy DIY that will solve those two issues, wobbling and slippage ( out of the cd-slot).

Since I don't use the CD function, I used a acrylic double-sided tape on the rear side of the mount. Now, the wobble on the mounted smartphone is hardly noticeable. It is better to use a good acrylic double-sided tape with high heat resistance. Good ones will last a long time and secures it well. And can be taken off without much effort leaving little residue on most surfaces.

Perodua Bezza - Headlight Bulbs

The Perodua Bezza's headlight uses a H11 55W bulb for it's low beam and a HB3 60W bulb for it's high beam.

Price range for the H11 and HB3 seems to be on the high side compared to a H4 or H7 for example

Perodua Bezza Smart entry key - Battery Replacement

If you need to press the smart entry button for a few times to unlock or lock your car door, there is a good chance that the smart entry key battery is weak. I just replaced mine yesterday and the  smart key is as responsive when I got it new. Use a flat-head  screwdriver and position it in the little notch and pry open the cover.

Perodua Bezza Advance - Car Battery Replacement

Replaced the Start-Stop battery at a Perodua Service centre some months back. I couldn't find time to write and post this, better late than never I guess. This Start-Stop battery for the Perodua Bezza Advance is on the high side for a budget car. It cost about RM450 which is double the price of normal car batteries. Any third party M42 equivalent battery is definitely cheaper than this. For example, Varta, Hankook, GS Yuasa sold by others. Here are some found on Shopee https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=m42%20battery . It's probably a good idea to buy and install it at the shop. My Perodua Bezza Advance car battery lasted about 2 years and 5 months. Considering that the car is in the city with heavy traffic all the time, it's not too bad. Eco-idle mode was always in use for the first 6 months. Some signs that the battery is giving up are: 1. Noticeable dimming of the headlights(all the time) when the aircond compressor comes on. 2.
