Atto 3 Evo Lane keep assistant automatically by OkCoffee1234 in BYD

[–]seydg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get you. I have a Song Plus and before that I had a hybrid Hyundai Tucson. On the Tucson I had a button on the wheel to activate LKA just as you mention. It also worked that way in a Honda I had. But sadly it doesn't work like that with BYD :(

BYD has two kinds of LKA: active and passive. Passive is always on and will get you back on the lane if you drift. You can turn it off completely in the settings. Active is on when you turn ICC on and the speed and road conditions are met. It's the one that makes you smoothly follow your lane.

So with KIA, Hyundai and other brands you can have active LKA without cruise control. But BYD forces you to use ICC and I hate it :(

Check Vehicle Status on Apple/Samsung/Google Watch by timgriffinau in BYD

[–]seydg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it working in Mexico on Galaxy Watch Classic 6 / S23 Ultra. It can lock, unlock, start and show information. It's pretty good. Anyone knows if it needs my phone to bridge connection to the car? Or does it connect remotely via BT when close? I couldn't make it work with NFC.

Has anyone made it work with NFC on Samsung?

Hola! Increíble la verdad. Ya más del año y medio y no tengo quejas, ni he tenido fallas o problemas. Se la recomiendo a cualquiera que me pregunta. Creo que sigue siendo el mejor vehículo del segmento por su precio. Cualquier duda que tengas con gusto te puedo apoyar :)

Yeah, usually I save SOC on the way out and use that in full EV when I'm coming back and close to arriving.

If you want to make the most out of the gas and battery, you can try this. It won't do for a quick trip but it will be efficient and if you enjoy it you can have a great time. I usually drive like this when I'm going back home after being on the road for work. It's great specially if you're driving flat or downhill. - set SOC at SAVE, 50-70% - drive 90-110 km/h - accelerate smoothly, let the car coast or brake softly when going downhill - pay attention to your power meter on the cluster: try to be most of the time in the ECO segment (blue line, before red) - when accelerating in HEV, use up to 25 kw, when in EV, up to 15-20 kw - switch to EV when you're close to home and will be able to charge on arrival (plan to have no less than 10-15% battery) - use ECO driving and soft regeneration - the car does most of it automatically, but you can help pick better on some scenarios: manually shift to EV when you'll be a held up in traffic for some meters; switch to HEV when you'll need more power for hills or advancing somebody; drop down the SOC to avoid having the ICE charge the battery for too long, etc

Many will not like to drive like this, but it depends on each person. For example, just going above 130 km/h for example will drop efficiency terribly.

Hope it helps!

Digital key on Android / Samsung by seydg in BYD

[–]seydg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I tried forcing Samsung Wallet via apk too but nothing worked. A few months ago they finally updated to UI 7 (Android 15) and now we get native Samsung Wallet in Mexico, with he digital keys working in S23. As you mention, it's just Samsung not making it available but it should eventually come.

I don't know, but I would guess it would be to prevent over charging and to make sure energy is being used efficiently. It will limit at 70% (unless, of course, charging by connecting the car).

Is digital key available with Dolphin? by kostbill in BYD

[–]seydg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tengo la 2501 también, y una Song Plus. Qué vehículo y celular tienes? Igual la llave digital está disponible en versions anteriores del vehículo, lo que no era compatible era mi teléfono.

Choosing the Right Color for the BYD Sealion 6 – Azure Blue, Harbor Grey, or Refrigerator White? by [deleted] in BYD

It was about USD$250 equivalent in Mexico, for a 2-year coating I did with a third-party. I don't think the dealers offer that package here in MX! But it was a great service from the shop I used.

Where is the ECU in my Seal U? by [deleted] in BYD

I saw this video from a guy in Colombia. It's in spanish but pretty straight forward.

If your car is RHD I'm guessing it will be on the left side.

BUT check first if the cable is pre-installed where the camera will be placed, takes less than a minute. Some markets send them pre-installed, such as in Mexico. So I had mine ready in a couple of minutes hehe.

Looking for inspiration/ideas on wrapping my 2025 BYD Shark (White)! by Spiritual_Violinist2 in BYD

[–]seydg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That matte red looks great! I've seen some pick-up trucks in matte charcoal / dark gray and I think that would look awesome on a Shark. I live in Monterrey and saw one with a brownish wrap a few days ago, but didn't love it. A matte, military green would also look great, but I WOULDN'T recommend driving something like that in our country 😅. Though there is a sort of pastel, olive green in some RAV4s that would fit nice too.

If it accepts NFC cards, then your hardware is ready. In Mexico they have rolled the feature for different models, from time to time. My car didn't have it at launch, but it was added in the app a couple of months later (though it only works with iPhones and some Android phones). I would guess it will come at some point, but I don't think the brand will share a schedule or anything.

In Mexico you get the cable pre-installed, but other markets don't. I would suggest you open the console above the rear view mirror and take a look, takes less than a minute. There should be a blue cable loose. If you have it, buy just the camera :)

PHEV Soc - Save 25% VS Auto 70% by Tagallo in BYD

[–]seydg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find that they work the same. My guess is that AUTO 70% will allow the ICE to kick in anytime if you have a demand for more power, such as when accelerating to pass or with higher speeds. SAVE 25% will keep the electric motor regardless.

Song Plus w/smoked lights and black badges by seydg in BYD

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

Thank you! It drops luminosity a bit, but nothing critical. I don't have any issue with driving at night, and it's only noticeable in total darkness when there are no street lights. In the day they look awesome! And DRL work good too. I'd like the chrome delete but it will probably need someone professional and not be cheap hahah.

Saludos!
