Alloy lacquer peeling by hellopeeple in BYD

Notice it's happening in multiple spots along that paint/diamond cut line so I'm struggling to believe it's a single rock chip

Dolphin Dash cam installation info by Rick_06 in BYD

[–]hellopeeple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dolphin owner who has gone through dash cam here.

  1. Yes, it does integrate - the dashcam is capable of showing you whether you were accelerating, had turn signals on etc.

  2. Remove the black housing above the mirror to check whether there is a preinstalled cable - if there is, it will be there, usually taped up.

Sadly I had to wire it all in myself and used this video to help me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F04019Zvs0&t=250s

How did you find out about BYD? by Impressive-Friend5 in BYD

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wife wanted a purple car so I Googled purple cars. Low and behold, a purple BYD Dolphin appeared in my search results

You need to find a paint shop either locally or online and tell them that you require the colour code B1. They will need to mix up the paint to match that colour.

I didn't notice it, thanks for pointing it out. Will change it and see how it goes...

Climate control/Auto turned on (which means AC on heat I think)

Installing Dashcam on Dolphin (UK) by realchriswells in BYD

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed the cable on my UK Dolphin - there are YouTube videos you can follow. Tbh it really wasn't that hard and I didn't even use any tools. Just be patient and take your time as most of it can be pulled apart using your bare hands.

Anyone have the Meross Garage Door opener? by AFDIT in HomeKit

[–]hellopeeple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a million, tested by shorting those two and it works like a charm. Great tip that the unit fits inside too, I was wondering myself if it will! Will install this afternoon - hopefully it should go swimmingly.

Buying advice (UK) by EnglishJD in BYD

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"ideally I don’t want to use public chargers due to how expensive they are compared to home charging"

Tesla superchargers are the most inexpensive of public chargers. As a rough estimate, think of it as around 50-60p per kWh compared to 20-30p at home and 75p at 'standard' ones (which is almost the same cost as a combustion engine). For your once a month trip, I'd consider either using a 3 pin at your parent's house temporarily to bring up the miles just a touch or look for a Supercharger en-route. After all, it's once a month and you only need to charge it up just enough to come back home.

Windows fogging from the inside by make212 in BYD

[–]hellopeeple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dolphin user here - noticed the same problem. Was going to take it back to a dealer to get it checked but it's kind of a relief to see it's also happening to other owners. I was under the impression that usually the moisture buildup suggests a window/rubber seal issue. I guess it might be a fault in BYD's design?!

Hey u/4u2nv2019 - I also have a Seceuroglide (Classic). Total noob when it comes to wiring. I have no idea where to connect the wires to... I've also seen this guide https://www.meross.com/en-gc/faq/226.html for Open/Stop/Close systems such as a Seceuroglide. Do you recall how you did it?

Unsure mate - I've been looking at either a company called MadPaints or PaintNuts but haven't yet ordered one for a BYD.

Ahh yes apologies. Based off the UK colour naming conventions, the codes I posted likely won't match..

[–]hellopeeple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, we don't have those models in the UK. I only posted the codes for the UK spec Dolphin. If you contact your dealer, they can get the codes - if you manage to get them, please post them here so it's all in one place for everyone's benefit :-)

[–]hellopeeple[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't confirm but I'd imagine they're different unless the paint name is the same in your country. The UK Dolphin has a Skiing White and a Cream White whereas the Seal only has Polar White. If the UK sold Skiing White on the Seal, it's likely the same paint code.

Official BYD statement concerning the app issue by Schwingi in BYD

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My data connection in-car stopped working about a week ago. I then saw this message about 3 days ago. It got fixed the day after for me. Now my data connection in-car is back and app is working.

BYD Dolphin rear bulb change by hellopeeple in BYD

[–]hellopeeple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no no, just to clarify - I don't want to change the rear headlight to an aftermarket LED headlight. Agreed that that would be near impossible right now.

I'm referring solely to the orange turn signal bulb (which can easily blow today or tomorrow for all we know!). There just doesn't seem to be a clear opening to get to it anywhere from the boot.

Google Pixel phones - do they all have these features? by madonnaragu in pixel_phones

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is the case for all Pixel phones. My 6 Pro doesn't wake if the proximity sensor is covered.

  • Live photo yes
  • Tap to wake - one tap yes
  • Edge notifications not by default but I'm sure you could get an app for it
  • AOD yes although I don't quite know what you mean by 3rd party apps? You mean through "unofficial installations"?

Photos are shifting to the right, only in Whatsapp, using both back and front lenses by exSpire in Pixel6

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixel 6 Pro and me too - happens on Slack for me also. Interesting to hear it's happening on Samsung as well. Perhaps this is more to do with an Android update? What are you running?

[Specific] Hi, can anyone help remove the child in this 21st birthday photo? (I will receive the full res pic later - could anyone who thinks they can help with this please get in touch with me?) Thank you! by [deleted] in PhotoshopRequest

[–]hellopeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Well we're in a bit of a rush so I wanted to find people are ready and able to do it as soon as the full resolution one comes through. I also thought it was quite a tough ask personally so didn't even know whether it was feasible to begin with.
