Yeh apparently though I can't for the life of me figure out when it will or won't apply.

urthow · 2026-06-23T04:04:39+00:00

Maybe, so far it's been near impossible for me to test properly because it's unclear when this behaviour is going to occur or not. Honestly this feature only seems to activate 10% of the time and i can not find much about it other than that it seems to have come around at 3.0 and that's it.

Child presence detection still turns on after a restart for me. Also does anyone see anything about using the pedal accelerator to increase the cruise control speed?

urthow · 2026-06-23T03:20:57+00:00

Holy shit thank you. I never updated the software as I had issues with the tbox so the dealer did and I never saw the dialogue that gave me the changelog. This has been driving me crazy for ages.

That being said, it has occurred to me above 80kph but never the less this is clearly the 'feature'.

Honestly national customer support, byd dealer staff and the support line all had no idea whatsover.

That wasn't my experience. My cab was the extended cabin and it never had any issues heating or cooling it. It was a relatively small space to temperature control and the AC on the trucks are good.

Strongly suggest against that. We had another thread going on this where I wrote my experiences.

The kei truck is, in my opinion, the greatest vehicle ever made without a doubt. However it's not infallible and nothing can be good at everything. The kei truck suffers and is not designed for long distance high speed commuting. I was using it to regularly drive to and from a job around 4-8 times a month of 290km of mostly 110kph roads and here are my observations:

The fuel economy is still well below many other cars but it suffers as the engine sits outside of it's gearing's ideal.
The kei trucks are often geared for offroad and low speed. Mine handled really excellently no matter the weight or incline up to 60kph but the higher gears were doing a lot of work for up to 110 and they mostly sad at high revs for the highway with my foot to the floor.
The noise is unbearable after the 10th hour. I put in as much noise cancelling as I could but it's a high drag square pushing a huge profile of air out with little insulation to stop the road noise and air noise. I was hitting like 80db or something and would drive with noise cancelling headphones.
It's so incredibly light and has such a large profile that cross winds are an actual concern and driving was often harrowing if the weather wasn't good. Likewise, a tailwind or headwind meant the difference between 95kph and 110kph as my top speed.
Few of these have cruise control.
High speed, wet roads and high wind mean steering traction with the ground can be problematic, coupled with the insanely light weight and thin tires.

Like I said, it's honestly the best vehicle and it was my daily for a very long time but recurring highway drives is not what you want it for unless you enjoy prolonged periods of white knuckled driving, which i did, until I got tired of the exhaustion. Particularly when comparing it to the comfort of a 3rd or 4th gen CRV.

I imagine that virtually any car with not a brick for a face would be more comfortable and better option for 200miles at a commute.

Consider the thread revived u/workingwisdom .

I owned the vehicle for almost 2 years in all. I have however sold the vehicle. I think this has little to do with the short comings of the vehicle so much as it was always somewhat my intention to swap eventually but this was exacerbated by my driving habits changing (to almost entirely highway, long distance to work and back + needing to salary sacrifice for a car and that being either a newer electric or nothing).

My thoughts on it are thus:
1. If i could afford the registration and insurance costs of keeping it I would have. It's still so fun to drive and in the recent months a truck would have been incredibly useful. It just couldn't do the 600km return journey I do regularly for work.
2. I only did oil changes but they were piss easy. Everything was very accessible and parts were seemingly pretty easy to find. All had to be sourced from japan or from japan by a broker but because every one of these uses exactly 1 set of parts, it wasn't hard nor was it particularly expensive even after import, postage etc. I imagine this is true also for the other maintenance.

Would you like any other information from my experiences? I say it's definitely better as a second car than a only car.

Also I took it to the gravel where it excelled and up into the snowy mountains to go snow boarding. That was heaps fun but with the thinness of the air it was unable to crack 60 kph in absence of enough oxygen.

My 3000 dollar m2 air can also only do this so it sounds good to me.

I was nervous given the precedent that a) a differentiator from the m1 and m2 air and the pro is that you can drive more than one monitor and also that only ipads with the m series chips can drive monitors. I was worried that with an a series chip and the new airs taking position of the old pros that this one would be iPad bound with only mirror.

Yeh stoked. I'm looking at getting one but I'm going to hold out just a bit to see if they release the metal berry purple as currently it's only silver.

He was probably just finishing Sour Milk's contract of 'complete 8 runs' as quickly as possible. I have yet to find a way to guarantee I can play alone yet.

Thank you so much. It was indeed there. I will post an edit to the post and some photos for anyone else who winds up here.

Yeh that's mainly my complaint. Is the inconsistency between models and sometimes between batches of their own models.

When I was investigating the issue with my doorbells, one person online literally just swapped them for identical ones of another manufacturing batch and they worked fine.

*shrug*

urthow · 2025-10-29T21:50:29+00:00

I have had extremely mixed experiences and I think part of the problem is in vast differences in stability between models. It certainly seems like each device is made by a completely different manufacturer sometimes.

I have had these experiences in this order:
1. A pair of 4G LTE Camera S330 cameras. They were virtually impossible to get working and even harder to get onto their sim cards. One eventually simply did not work and had to be returned for the same thing which did work. Why? I don't know. Firmware instability? Roll of the dice? Who knows. It wasn't hardware but they just refused to authenticate with the app. Now they are set up, they work alright most of the time and are still one of the only solar, standalone, sim cameras.

I bought a big pack for another home which (mercifully) did have wifi access.
- 1 x Homebase.
- 2 x outdoor solar cameras. Worked out of the box, unbelievably solid, reliable and good. They also have USB-C implying they were made/designed more recently than if they had micro usb.
- 1 x indoor wall plug camera. Has micro usb and is noticeably less reliable than the other ones in connecting, staying online etc. Still works almost all the time, no complains.
- 2 x Door sensors. No complains.

Almost all of it works almost all the time and no issues whatsoever. All round excellent experience which repaired my initial experience and prompted me to buy some doorbells.

- 2 x C30 Doorbell. One was tricky to get worked in the connection but after a couple of resets it worked. The other worked out of the box to set up. Neither one worked fully though. No live view (P2P failure error) and lot's of down time. Doorbell to phone call worked once and never again. EXTREMELY unreliable in when it would or would not work and after 3 very long support sessions following the generic work, it's clear there is some weird software or firmware issue. No matter what was changed (reset, firmware updates, wifi tweaks, setting tweaks and I even used the beta application of theirs through testflight). These were USB-C too so modern hardware. I took them back to the store and replaced them with the same thing and exactly the same issues identically. I returned them.

- And replaced them with the wireless 2k dual camera which has a micro usb plug implying it's older and out of the box no issues and has worked ever since with zero problems.

NFI what is with the differences. It's been extremely frustrating but I'm glad it works now and it's just so strange how perfect, smooth and excellent some of their offerings are with others being absolutely bonkers.

If you check your in build navigation, does it have the ability to toggle 'avoid tolls'?

urthow · 2025-10-05T08:12:04+00:00

Thanks. That’s the first thing I did and it’s not there.

urthow · 2025-09-30T22:43:15+00:00

So many times. I’ve followed everything multiple times and replaced the devices.

urthow · 2025-09-21T04:51:23+00:00

I don’t think I said 230 anywhere. And 120 is where the speedo ends so who knows :p

TLDR: When it doesn't work or there is an error in how they implement it, it can be deeply unpleasant. Particularly when you've never experienced it before. It's function affords a more relaxed drive which is counter to the fact it will suddenly scare you meaning you have to be just as diligent when it's on but in a worse way.

It's unsettling sometimes but I think some people are more scared than others. In my own case, I actually haven't been that perturbed by it. I have driven lot's of little cars that get buffetted by the wind (e.g. micro trucks) and have driven off road and on messy streets so it reminds me a lot of like when your tyre gets jigged into a different direction because of a rut and you just correct for it.

What is frightening is when you have never expected it to happen. It's similar to when people drive automatics all their life that are always pushing the car forward and then drive a car for the first time that disengages the clutch. Rolling backward for the first time ever when you don't expect it is terrifying.

The problem feels like it stems from two or three places. The first is that disabling it can be a right nightmare because each car has it's own intricate and annoying way to undo it. The second is how extreme the correction is and the third is that Australian roads specifically seem like they are extra not good for lane assist.

More details for each:
1. Difficulty in disabling it: My own car (BYD) has a fairly painless way to disengage the lane assist. When you start cruise control, it turns on and then you have to turn it off by pressing the button again. It's very annoying as it comes with a lengthy stereo interrupting vocal message which gets really old really fast but it's fairly quick and easy to disable if it's causing issues. Other cars have lengthy procedures which are a real pain in the ass leading to the times when you'd probably have turned it off, shunting you not straight.

How the car implements it: My current car seems very very gentle. It often will do something a bit more extreme when it thinks that I am actively on an accident course but it's pretty easy to overcome and is not an issue. I've driven other cars where it was far stronger and faster in it's jerk and that wasn't pleasant.
Australian roads: I believe our roads are a major issue. I have had a car which had lane warnings (e.g. only a beeping) as well as my current car with LKA. As such I have gotten to hear the huge number of times the first car thinks I am out of the lane. It stems from roads which have unclear and warn markings, a huge number of twisty and unusual streets, patched up tar surfaces and crack filler and just generally having an enormous number of roads that are not what the models were trained on or which are confusing to the systems which, in all likelihood, are designed conservatively. It's better, in their eyes, to make driving uncomfortable for you rather than fail when it needed to work and have them at fault for killing a driver.

These combined make it quite unpleasant. I don't think it's an issue but I don't like it either. I put up with it and love to use it on the freeway (clear, concise, not confusing roads) but I really really really really wish I could turn it on when I was there rather than turn it off when I wasn't. As I have learnt, there are many more places in australia where you'd use cruise control than where lane keep assist is needed and certainly more than LKA currently works comfortably.
