@@kingelitejohnno please hotspot your phone otherwise it will use data from you car SIM card and there is a limit there!

@@user-io1jy6do2c try option 1 and try ADB connect steps in my video before upgrading again to see if you can connect to it and push up an app

@AllTerrainActionEV i figured it out. I needed to transfer the wifi apps first. Then the correct menu option turned up. I tried to skip a step. Lol my bad. Thanks for your quick reply though!! Im a little unsure about the warning on some apps that come up with "google play store needed" and the gbox app not sure what that's for. Once an app is installed is it possible to upgrade it natively or do I need to download and wifi transfer every time a new version comes out ?? Also with my bom weather app it won't do auto gps detect says because play store not available....

Also. Once I finished i reinstalled the later version of the system like your tutorial says. But once that installed.... I went to the OTA updates and it wouldn't do an update. Just said searching for update and then nothing. So I think I'm stuck on the version that your tutorial says to install again after the sideload process.. Do I just wait for the next OTA update ?

@ yes, what version where you on before you downgraded?

​@AllTerrainActionEV i was on the latest one.. did an OTA update just before Christmas... but now I'm only on the version that's provided in your links to restore after the downgrade...

So I did as you did and installed adb onto my computer via the link but it says on my computer when I type in adb that 'adb' is not recognised as an internal or external command

Nothing I can see, I will be doing some OBD2 testing soon, and with a SG2/3 to see if we can get any data, revs.. coolant temp etc all be useful to know.

We use it to connect to phone hotspot so we can use mobile data no sim data from in the car, but we have TH-cam etc, generally speaking it’s not useful for anything else. Australia have limited apps, unless you do the unofficial workaround for android apps.

😂

Had no idea. Thanks for the tip 😂

Logical and yes correct, I guess I was not super clear on this. This is the intended design but there have been reports of sudden drops to 20% out of no where and even after a full discharge and recharge it has not corrected the capacity for some reason. Either bug in the BMS or battery issue I guess, but the normal way as you said is the battery calibrating it to whats available taking into account degradation.

I’ll investigate the is I didn’t know that.

Mine has just started to be investigated by BYD, yours sounds similar to mine - let you know my outcome!

@@AllTerrainActionEV great to hear BYD is looking at it - I'm in NSW, so it'll be interesting to see how BYD responds to my issue here too. Looking forward to an update!

1 around 14kWh 2 depends on distance from switchboard to charger location, within meters around $400 if no walls, if walls still within meters $400-700 and just add around $100 a meter after that. Eg 10 meters from switchboard through the roof will be around $1200-1500 installed. 3 all saftey features are always on, your probably thinking ICC I assume?

@@jongskie777 I am unsure about that one the process may be similar but different software needed.

The car itself is designed to charge up to 70% only. The system itself can theoretically charge it to 100% but there is a reason why it doesnt (for battery life preservation). This video actually explains why - th-cam.com/video/AIPNg96sBds/w-d-xo.html

@@momopika18 this was the cable I purchased, evse.com.au/product/5-metre-type-2-to-type-2-ev-charging-cable-7kw/ consider the 7mtr long one if you need more distance. I wish I did get the 7m one now, but no real point in buying a second! When I get the Shark I will probably buy a 7mtr long one. Happy charging! The 5mtr cable fits in the compartment under the back floor too, the 7mtr one wouldn’t.

@@AllTerrainActionEV Hi there, may I ask why do you prefer the 7m over the 5m cable? Have there been challenges in charging with the shorter cable? Cheers!

@ there has been times where I’ve had to park closer to the charger because the cable only just reached. Sometimes people park terribly, so you have to park over - other times easier to drive in then always having to reverse in - but I’ve made it work for the most part. 5mtrs is fine, mainly because it fits underneath. It’s totally a personal preference though!

Thats interesting, I belive i am on 13.1.33.2403XXX. So on 13.1.33.2407240 it has been removed? I guess since ADR requires it they removed the option for us!

@@AllTerrainActionEV I could not find a way to disable (it's not critical for me) it on 13.1.33.2407240, I can only explicitly "Play" AVAS sound in 'Notifications' settings. What worries me is that I suspect you and me lost ability getting OTA updates after we did this manual trick with firmware downgrade for side loading apps (I applied my latest FW manually). It's 9 months passed since March (2403) but your car still did not receive July's firmware (2407). BTW, December's major FW update is also released at least in UK. Maybe somebody else can confirm which FW version they currently have for Sealion 6 in Australia.

@@seriv210 I have a video of when I was offered an OTA update so I dont know if this is true or not. Need more data to determine though.

It seems as of an update around July/August this may not be able to be turned off - investigating this I’d say seal uses similar software and releases.

@@rakeshjaiswal3944 wait until around march, they have a revised version available with improved suspension for Australia Highways, unless you are tight on timeframe then only major downside is suspension is quite soft and noticeable on highways, fine for city driving.

Nothing overall, great value for money - I have a noisy CV which is currently booked into be seen, but other than that fine. Haven’t heard of anyone else having an issue like this so not really reliable to base on, if your thinking to buy plenty of people who have purchased and are very happy. :)

​@@AllTerrainActionEVOnly that it needs to be washed and vacuumed. 😅✌️

@@texasflysuperstar can you tell me where the option is, I can’t find it anywhere if it is a feature

That would be fun to select different sounds. More choice the better. I don't mind the spaceship hovering sound if kept subtle.

It’s an Australian design rule requirement so if the vehicle can drive on electric only, it must have that feature to some degree (guesstimate)

@@AllTerrainActionEV Can you hear the sound of Toyota hybrid cars in Australia?

@@avas-i4f nothing when stopped/stationary

@@AllTerrainActionEV It's different rules in the USA that must make a noise even when vehicle is stopped/not moving

What makes it sketchy in your option through a river crossing?

Sound? th-cam.com/video/VlxtoTuDun4/w-d-xo.html

@AllTerrainActionEV adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistant and automatic speed limit adoption

Mate sorry, it was a typo. I meant ADAS, maybe if you do a test on, I have a test drive with this SUV next week , itotherwise you are doing everything very well

We've had it rev a few times very high, at low SOC and say foot down, or hill climb although in every case its always managed to put out the power needed to keep going and it isnt often this happens. We're not too concerned it was just a topic that was raised in comments that made me wonder too, but I'm confident in the design it makes sense - but its always interesting to know how things work and if they work well!

I would say it never did either, probably because ~70% SOC. It was not a great test overall, I had planned to get it down to 25% SOC and try again but yesteday was TOO hot haha! Dying from no AC in a black car!

@@AlvinLenin could have but, how the engine turns on and off differs in that mode as it should be mostly on.

i got 5.4s with 2 passengers

Yeah already done this, shows it in the first minute of the video th-cam.com/video/OnD9hgbKcRg/w-d-xo.html

@@AlvinLenin also hard to 'trust' the inbuilt timer. External timer is needed for a true indication.

@@AllTerrainActionEV True

I do not get said vibration at high speeds on brake pedal. Couldnt know about the AC system but I do know its alot more powerful than the Atto 3 AC system!

No worries, thank you for commenting!

Yeah I've noticed this too - but never has the entire combination of events been a struggle for the car to keep up to my driving demands even when low SOC.

@ yeh it doesnt effect the power as the front motors are still powering the wheels anyway, its just the engine going hard to combat the battery % loss while going up the hill, its just annoying because it still does make the car louder than my old diesel on hill climbs thats all

yes it does, it can be turned on and off from dash easily. It sounds like a Music Box Wind Up or like a kalimba.

I have managed to get a quick shot at it today for you th-cam.com/video/VlxtoTuDun4/w-d-xo.html

Junkyard Dave explains it well while rebuilding his Mitsubishi Starion turbo. th-cam.com/video/ZI0JdZCoKpg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vNpSIswmtung-7x7

I find the Sealion 6 will, rev at only 2 speeds - 1 speed is for voltage only charging, 2nd speed is higher revving and seems to be when I plant my foot through the floor in HEV and speed is > 70km/hr and it passes power from EV motors and ICE motor. I Will play more attention next time to see if it goes from high rev stright to off or not. I am not saying there is an issue here but it is interesting to break down this info so we can learn more about these vehicle types. Thanks for sharing that info. I've only worked on N/A motors and have little experience with turbo based applications.

I wonder if it has coolant lines? Some modern turbo are oil and water cooled. Some are going to electric pumps too, so that even if engine is off coolant can flow to cool until temps hit a threshold. I have no idea how BYD does it as it's too hard to find information.

I didn't get our car delivered until next week so I can't really check until then but I guess it would be good to get some footage of the turbo and engine at some point as a reference for everyone else because of how scarce this info is. ​@@AllTerrainActionEV

Yep this info has linked me to find the engine code to be 1.5 L BYD472QC I4 and yes does use Atkinson type cycle engine design. Thank you for sharing this with everyone/us.

@@fatihakn6117 this guide should be the same.

@@AllTerrainActionEV hello downgrades to the first version so we will install the apk

It’s titled wrong, that’s my fault. We’re trying to understand if in the Sealion 6 if there would be negative drawbacks from turbo been hit on and off, even after long use. Presumably then after engine turns off, water must still flow/pump to cool the turbo down. I just happened to also discover how well the firewall dampens that engine noise which is why I titled the video based on that and can see how that’s made the entire video confusing as!

All good. Demonstrating the noise difference was informative. In regards to the coolant still running after shutdown, im guessing thats the case as there's not much info on these engines. Ive raised the question from a startup petspective... that is - What happens in a freezing cold morning driving at low speed to get to the freeway. Then hit the freeway only to have the ICE engine kick on at freezing temps at full engine speeds with cold oil/coolant! RIP engine longevity! I was "told" that the coolant is circulating straight away and warming up from the ev... not sure how accurate that is though so dont quote me.

@ can’t understand how the EV warms the coolant though. In saying that the heater struggles to warm in EV only mode so I highly doubt on a fresh cold start it’ll be warm quickly, maybe 10 minutes in. Maybe next inspection should be OBD2 port connected scan tool see if i can see any digital readouts for coolant temp. I also wonder if the heater csn operate in reverse, like ICE cars using hot coolant to generate heat perhaps the same core can be used to heat the coolant form whatever way the EV works to heat climate air. Many questions.

Yep i agree with you. Im going on what i was told, but my mechanically minded is struggling to see how it works as im used to traditional ice. A video on OBD readouts from first start through to operating temp would be be very informative as theres very lityle info on exactly how these operate. 👍

@@AllTerrainActionEV obd a great idea, it may even show turbo temperature

Sounds to me with some of the comments, we need not worry in this modern age! Which I suppose has given us the resulted we wanted to know from this quick test.

@@vasil7410 I always understood the 1.5L turbo in the Sealion 6 Premium is the same engine as what’s in the Shark 6, I’ll look more into this as I was unaware.

@@vasil7410 looking at this again I still see the same 1.5L Turbo engine in the BYD Sealion 6 Premium and BYD Shark 6 are the same engine. The differences are in the electric engines in terms of preformance.

I think most cars would to be honest.

No up to 7kW 32a over single phase capable. Most will use 6mm cabling, i have been told paying extra and go 10mm is best especially if charger is > 5mtrs from switchboard, but consult with your installer about this and if you can afford going 10mm is better!
