Before BenchSetup was a name, it was a home workstation.
One Proton IHU, a 12V bench supply, and a simple question: how much more can this head unit do? Rather than experimenting on a real car, we built a bench rig where the IHU runs on the table, wired exactly the way it sits in the vehicle. Screen on, apps running, everything testable in the open.
That bench changed how we work. Every package we offer today, from the Clean Look routing to the Elite sideloads, was developed and proven on the rig first. Your car is never the experiment.
It also made us careful by default. Before any sideload, the original firmware is fully backed up, so your IHU stays 100% recoverable to original at any time. We test on the bench, install face-to-face, and hand the car back with everything working and every panel reassembled cleanly.
Use the Bench Builder above: pick your car, IHU version and services — the price updates live, combos are discounted automatically, and compatibility is checked as you go.
The builder sends your full build and estimate straight to WhatsApp, so you don't have to repeat yourself. We confirm details and book your appointment.
Every install is done face-to-face in the Klang Valley or Northern Region, so everything is tested on the spot before you drive off.
Follow the menu path below on your Proton Infotainment Head Unit: / Ikut laluan menu di bawah pada IHU Proton anda:
On the About IHU page, you'll see both your Software Version and Hardware Version. The last 3 digits of the Software Version indicate your IHU software version.
Example: if your Software Version is SWSS11R1022H8BNI.00333, your IHU Software Version is v333.
Important: please also note your Hardware Version exactly as shown on screen — compatibility can depend on both the software version and the hardware version.
Note: screen layout may vary slightly depending on Proton model and software build, but the navigation path is generally the same.
From the main screen, open Settings.
In the Settings menu, select System from the right-side menu.
Inside the System menu, tap System Information.
Tap About IHU to view your Software Version and Hardware Version.
Use the last 3 digits of the Software Version. Example: ...00333 = v333, ...00144 = v144, ...00735 = v735.
The Software Version is the reference we use to identify your IHU software build. Please don't use the Firmware Version as a replacement.
Take a clear photo of your About IHU page and send it to us on WhatsApp — we'll confirm it for you.

BenchSetup installs plug-and-play infotainment upgrades for the Proton S70, X50 RC and X90 in Malaysia — the Clean Look physical install, three sideload packages (Elite Air, Elite Bundle, Elite Max) and a ready-made Plug & Play Modified AACP Dongle. Mix and match them in the Bench Builder.
Use the Compatibility Checker above — pick your Proton model, enter your IHU software version (just the last 3 digits), and get an instant result.
Combine Clean Look with any sideload package and the IHU access is charged once — save RM100. Optional hardware is available in the builder too: AI Box 8GB/128GB (RM599) or Original AACP Dongle (RM180).
The quickest way is the Bench Builder — build your setup step by step and it connects you straight to WhatsApp.

No. Clean Look is a purely physical install — it hides your dongle or AI box neatly with no software changes. Elite Air, Elite Bundle and Elite Max are sideload packages, and the sideload work is included in the package price. Your original firmware is fully backed up before anything changes, so your IHU is 100% recoverable to original.
It's your choice in the Bench Builder. Bring your own hardware — a CarlinKit 3.0 Original (CPC200-CCPA) dongle is around RM130–150 and a CarlinKit AI Box Ambient 8GB+128GB around RM480–550 on Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop — or let the installer provide a pre-configured unit: AI Box 8GB/128GB (RM599) or Original AACP Dongle (RM180).
Installation packages are always done face-to-face so everything is tested on the spot, on your car. We cover the Klang Valley and the Northern Region, by appointment. The Plug & Play Modified AACP Dongle is the exception: it ships nationwide.
Sideload is an advanced method that lets us install and run additional apps directly on your car's infotainment system (IHU) — beyond what's originally allowed by the manufacturer. It's how Elite Air, Elite Bundle and Elite Max add their apps on top of your existing IHU software.
Sideloading is currently available for three Proton models in Malaysia:
Elite Air, Elite Bundle and Elite Max sideloading supports: Proton S70 (v202, v209, v300, v333), Proton X50 RC (v115, v144), and Proton X90 (v638, v647, v651, v694, v722, v735). Clean Look has no version restriction since it doesn't touch your IHU software. Use the Compatibility Checker above to confirm your version.

The apps installed depend on your sideload package:
Typically 2–3 hours, including setup, testing, and a full walkthrough demo.
Yes — as long as your model and IHU software version are supported. If your IHU module doesn't have a developer port, the Elite sideload is still possible, but a RM50 surcharge applies for the extra work involved.
A developer port is a physical hardware port some IHU units already have that makes Elite sideload work easier.
How to tell if your unit has one:
Yes. Because the Elite sideload packages involve system-level access to your IHU, it may affect your Proton manufacturer warranty. Please weigh this before booking. Clean Look, which doesn't touch your IHU software at all, is the no-sideload alternative.
Yes — it involves system-level access. That said, it's done in a controlled, structured way: focused only on enabling the apps in your chosen package, with your original firmware fully backed up first and no unnecessary system changes.
Backing up your original firmware is included in every sideload — that's what makes your IHU 100% recoverable. Actually restoring it back to factory settings is a separate face-to-face appointment (Klang Valley or Northern Region) for a RM100 restore fee.
The Plug & Play Modified AACP Dongle is a ready-made, custom-configured device that connects to your Proton's IHU USB port — no appointment, no system modification required. It arrives ready to plug in.
The dongle unlocks:
A wired connection is also supported if you'd rather plug in directly.
Almost immediate — just plug in and connect. No technical skills required.
A slight delay with wireless is normal for non-native wireless connections.
Yes, it's safe. The dongle works as an external plug-in device connected via USB — it doesn't modify your IHU system in any way, so your car's manufacturer warranty is unaffected.
Clean Look and the Elite sideload packages (Elite Air, Elite Bundle, Elite Max) carry a 3-month warranty. The Plug & Play Modified AACP Dongle carries a separate 2-week warranty. For sideload packages, the 3-month warranty is voided if you install your own apps or APKs on the IHU after our sideload. This is to protect you: unverified third-party apps can conflict with what we've installed and destabilize the system, and once that happens we can no longer tell whether a fault came from our work or from something added afterward — so we can't fairly diagnose or cover it under warranty.
