I am planning to add some accessories in my 2017 Kwid 1.0 and need shop recommendations and references in Pune.

Primarily want to install:

1. Wireless android auto and CarPlay (No OEM support)
2. Dashcam (Not sure about variants)
3. New parking reverse camera (OEM sensor and camera installed)
4. New infotainment system (OEM screen is pretty much useless now)
5. TPMS

If anyone has installed such accessories recently or in the past from Pune, please share your experience and recommendations.

Also, please give a decent budget range for this, I am expecting around 20-25k on the higher side.

I'm planning to buy my 1st jacket very soon. Budget is between 5-7k for now.

Major use case: Daily commute + occasional rides

So, mesh is at the utmost priority for me. Personally, I won't be using the back armour as much, because I'll mostly have a backpack on me. I've tried the following jackets out: (ranked as per preference)

1. Rynox Cypher GT 2 - 5.9k

-Feels like the best one on paper for my use case, only thing missing is the chest armours (900rs).
-All other armours are CE level 2
-Only con that I've heard with 2 shop owners is that rynox as a brand is very prone to having faulty materials. How true is this?

2. LS2 Garda Air - 7.5k

-Best comfort amongst all of them, inner fabric was very soft
-Has chest level 2 included
-Slightly bulky/touring type looking jacket is the only bummer, but that is manageable.
-Only con is that it's slightly out of my budget range

3. Solace Thrift Mesh - 5.2k

-Feels like the best bang for the buck jacket on paper
-According to one shop owner, solace has the best after sales support in India. How true is this?
-Comfort wise it was not very outstanding, but nothing uncomfortable. Inner fabric as decent, but not too soft.

4. LS2 Breeze - 6k

-Feels similar to the LS2 Garda in terms of inner fabric
-But felt slightly heavier than the Garda.
-Other than chest armour, everything is level 2

5. Scala Blaze - 4.9k

-Cheapest out of the lot
-Inner fabric was felt rough compared to others
-Not considering it

Also, I've heard very mixed opinions about Viaterra's jackets. Many shop owners told me they're good for luggage only and not that great for apparel. Can anyone help me on this? I am yet to try any viaterra gear due to this.

I'd like owners of these few jackets, or any other brands to review and recommend me any other options as well.
TIA

I'm planning to upgrade from my Samsung M33 and have been stuck between the iPhone 17 and Samsung S26+ for a while now.

Just to get this out of the way, I'm only looking at the regular iPhone 17 and the S26+ (bigger battery). I know the Ultra is the obvious recommendation for a lot of people, but it's more than I'd like to spend on a phone right now.

A part of me really wants to try an iPhone because:

• Apple is still way ahead when it comes to video recording.
• The camera experience always feels super quick and consistent.
• Pretty much my entire family and friend circle uses iPhones, and I'm the only one who can't airdrop stuff 😅

At the same time, I honestly can't imagine leaving the Samsung/Android ecosystem.

Some reasons:

• One UI is probably the best UI I've used.
• The amount of customization is hard to give up.
• I use Phone Link with my Windows laptop a lot.
• Secure Folder is something I've gotten very used to.
• I already have a Samsung Fit 3, Tab and Samsung Buds, and they work seamlessly with my phone and tablet.
• Things like google drive uploads, file transfers, and general google integration just feel more natural to me on android.

The main reason I'm upgrading is that my M33 is finally starting to show its age. It's about 4 years old now and while it still handles basic stuff fine, the experience isn't what it used to be:

• It feels laggy quite often.
• It heats up pretty quickly.
• Reels/videos don't always feel smooth.
• Sometimes the 120Hz display genuinely feels like it's running at 30-40Hz.
• The camera experience is nowhere near as responsive as newer phones. (not fast)

My biggest concern is long-term usage.

For those who've used S-series phones for 3-4 years or more (S21 / S22 / S23 / S24):

1. How well have they held up?

2. Is One UI still smooth after a few years?

3. Does the camera remain quick and responsive?

4. Is the camera experience close to iPhones in terms of speed and reliability?

5. Any heating, battery, or performance issues after a few years?

6. What would you recommend? A new iphone or a new samsung?

Would love to hear actual long-term experiences rather than just specs and benchmark numbers.

TIA

PS:- I am not looking for validation for my biasness towards Samsung, but I want to know if it is actually worth spending upwards of 90k on a samsung? I am a long term user (5yrs minimum)

I'm getting nitrogen filled for the first time on my Speed 400 today, going to deflate the tyre and fill up.

I ride in Pune, mix of city + highway (roughly 50-50). Pillion is rare, maybe once a week.

I was thinking 30 front / 33–34 rear.
Do you guys keep the same PSI with nitrogen or tweak it a bit?

What are you all running?
