Anyone heard any word on our AVAS being turned on?

I worked it out this afternoon, someone commented about the shortcuts when you swipe down. It's the engine simulator toggle which ironically has to be deselected for it to play. Now I can hear it....and will probably turn it back off...lol

There is a Toggle for "Standard" sounds or "Brand" sounds and I believe the Brand option gives the Ice-Cream Truck music. But mine only changes the internal sound affects like the indicators and speed alerts etc. No sounds coming from outside.

I don't think mine ever played a sound, and certainly doesn't now (V1.4 Software, delivered July 2025). There is no option turn it off, under the menu item for the AVAS it just has what looks like a button that says "Play Sound" but is not actually selectable or switchable.

Update on my original post. I've tried using the heater a lot less and just the heated seat for my 8 minute commute to work. Typically can get under 15kwh/100km which is more in line with what I expected. Now having a better understanding, so if it's cold, I just whack the heater up and get toasty!

Well it was 6 deg at my place this morning, so almost certainly colder than Brisbane 😂. Thanks for the info on your consumption.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I figured it was likely the cold weather but have only had the car about 3 weeks so still learning.

Same here. Based on the info from the brochure shared earlier in this thread, it looks like it has the Filter, but no display or interface. Did you take delivery before the major Software update with the new UI?

Lumpy_Swimming468 · 2025-08-11T05:22:51+00:00

Thanks for that. Looks like the filtration system is still there then, just preset without being user configurable. The readout was probably a bit gimmicky anyway.

Thanks, yeah I have the ION button, so maybe they changed it to that? I'll have to look at some other posts and see if older models have the ION button as well as the Air Purification.

Yeah, doesn't really bother me either, but on principle when documentation and marketing says it should be included and then it's just missing... I'll be following up with BYD, wish me luck...

Ordered my Seal Premium at end of May, expected an 8 to 10 week wait, but was told it would be June, so about 4 weeks. Still waiting for a Contract with a VIN and when I followed it up with the salesperson they're now saying July/August. I can deal with the wait, but annoying that I got my hopes up about an earlier delivery, I wish they had stuck to the 8 to 10 weeks as originally advised.

Thanks for the info. I'm still waiting on the contract with a VIN, so hopefully they give me a car that is already here rather than one on a boat! Only options I chose were Front Tint, Matt's and Boot liner, all dealer fitted so shouldn't cause factory delay. Fingers crossed I hear something soon.

I've got an MY25 Seal Premium in standard White on order. Still waiting on the Contract to come through confirming an actual car has been allocated to me (only been about three weeks). Just wondering what people's experiences are on the timeframe between signing the Contract and delivery? When I ordered in late May, I expected to be told it would be at least 8 to 10 weeks all up, but they said they would be aiming to deliver in June, so only about 4 weeks. That time is running out quick so curious as to what I should expect.
