On the home screen you can change those 3 overlarge icons by a long press anywhere on the screen which will reveal the options available ( 6 or 7 smaller icons below the 3 large ones ) a long press on your desired icon to highlight then drag up to the large icon to replace, very similar to an iPhone.

You can add your own photos as background wallpapers, via utility tools and file manager, load up a micro sd card or usb flash drive with your photos and once plugged in access utility tools and then file manager. Once you have located your photos a long press will bring up a sub menu so you can move them to “ local”. You can then resize to “ screen “ size and set as wallpaper. Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to add as screensaver, would be nice to have without the icons blocking the view, maybe in the future can have like a digital photo frame with your favourite photos changing from time to time ……….. are you listening BYD !! 😀

Hi Tom From the Seal Hand book page 153 ION ● Function: sterilization, air purification, refreshing. ● Tap the "ION" button on the A/C or green air purification interface to inactivate or activate the ION. This might be related to the door switch icon on the infotainment screen, from the Seal Hand book, if nobody else knows for sure, I will ask on Friday when I take a Perfomance seal for a test drive. From page 125/126 of the Seal owner's handbook Door Open Warning (DOW) DOW is realized with rear corner mmWave radars installed on both sides of the rear bumper. When the vehicle is stationary with doors unlocked, the system keeps indicators on side mirrors solid on to warn the driver if moving objects, such as bicycles or automobiles, approach from behind on an adjacent lane. If the driver attempts to open the door at this time, indicators on side mirrors begin to flash and a chime sounds.

Great run through, thanks Tom. Next time you drive can you please spend a bit more time on the binnacle display? The first thing I did (when it became available) on my Model 3 was set the left scroll wheel to adjust the fan speed. You rushed past those type of functions in this video. It’s also a shame BYD doesn’t display the simple navigation instructions on the binnacle (ie 200m ->) as an option. It may only work for the BYD Nav, although some cars (like BMW) can display Nav from Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. After all, it’s only software. Even better display it on the HUD, but the HUD seems a fairly basic one, so that probably isn’t possible.
@LudicrousFeed 6 ай бұрын
Thanks! The Binnacle controls are what they are and can only be controlled by the right scroll wheel and buttons. I did hear you can customise some of the other buttons eg screen rotate or camera which may be useful given I don’t see myself rotating the screen that often. Agreed the HUD is fairly basic in its design but we’ll see what updates that offer if any

A question Tom, can you use your phone (enabling wifi hot spot) to share your phone data plan with your car ??? I mean, in the car you can use Spotify app using the data plan of your phone for instance. To do so, you Connect your car to your phone wifi hot spot vía wifi I ask this because...maybe BYD can provide you with 1GB of data to use every month the first 1 or 2 years...but once It lasts, it finishes..., the only está to get ingernet connection with your car is through your phone using your phone data plan (creating wifi hot spot) Could you clarify this please??

You’re very welcome, the comments on my research were that the sound on maximum was just okay.

Yes there’s a few minor problems to sort out with other things, but it’s not putting me off, as I’m assured they will be ironed out with software updates. I drive a BMW M8 with Hardon Kardon with great sound , maybe the seal isn’t as good , but so far I can’t tell the difference. I’m a little concerned about the many fires in China with batteries , but the blade battery seems to be the best so far. Ok A BYD garage also had a few cars catch fire but there must be lots of different factors. I’m still buying the car ! Anyway enjoy your car when it arrives and happy driving. 👍👍

AFAIK it’s not technically Android Auto although it does suppose it wirelessly. It is however using the Android platform

No sign of Hardware information or service mode like a Tesla which is annoying. We be good to see what what CPU is running the system and if they are using Mediatek and not intel or amd .

I think the BYD Seal looks very promising but the software and general “look and feel” cannot be compared to the one on Teslas. This is really bad and reminds me of my first android phone. I know for most people this would probably not matter, but in a modern car a bad and ugly user experience like this would be a dealbreaker for me. Classic AliExpress quality to be honest

@@LudicrousFeed Thanks! Another question: the pedestrian warning sound is mandatory in Europe. So, I guess European cars will have this feature enabled at all times. Can you do a sound test on how loud the standard sound is (outside the car). I’ve heard the brand noise and it really sounds like a icecream truck when driving slow. If the standard sound is not much better that would be a dealbreaker. Such a nice car with a sound to be ashamed of.
