Thank you very much for this. I just collected my AWD Seal 3 days ago this car is incredible beyond all expectations. Here in Morocco the version of the infontainement is 1.0 I didnt find any way to keep back headlights always on as the car in black colour appears a little too agressive when arrier leds are off. Thank you very much for your help.
Hi Paul, hope you are doing well, just collected my BYD Seal AWD today, unfortunately was stuck in BKK traffic so didn’t get a chance to use any of the power as yet, driving to Korat on Thursday so hopefully I’ll have a more opportunities to test the power haha. I wanted to check with does the satnav show information in the HUD when driving as I’m currently getting nothing.
Another great video, hanks for that! Would you be able to confirm if these safety settings remain disabled? I heard that some come back on and you have to re-do them every time?
Hi, Thanks for the informative videos. If you get a chance ........could you see if there is a setting in "Lights" that allows the rear lights to be on all the time. It used to be called "Scandanavian Lights" back in the day with some of the cars (Skoda from the mid naughty's) Thanks in advance.
Thanks for this, I'm considering strongly a Seal in Australia in a month or so. Could you do a video on the driving assist vision or whatever they use while on the road? I'd like to see how compares to the tech of the Tesla. Does it have a car on your dash and shows other cars or hazards etc ? Or is that just a Tesla thing. Appreciate it!
The Tesla will beat the BYD on driving assistance software. I like the blind spot notifications on the Seal which come up very clearly on the mirrors and on the HeadsUp Display - I don’t want anything else, want to drive myself. You can have 360 degree cameras running as you drive. If driving assistance is top of your requirements buy a Tesla, but I would recommend test driving a performance Seal if you can - fantastic drivers car.
@@EcoHouseThailand Definitely not top of requirements, just cool to see at times while driving and thank you for the swift response! I have a Seal Superior (middle spec model in Australia) test drive booked. Most important for me is range efficiency to be honest. So done with gas guzzlers and we pay $2.40 a litre to the Saudis here in Oz! i want out for a greener future. Had you tried the Atto 3 at all? That's $10k less here, but doesn't have the mod cons of ventilated seats, etc Seal will have come Jan 2024..
@@ThePantheons I have had an MG HS PHEV for over 2 years now. SUVs are practically but not a patch on a saloon as a drivers car which are much more efficient. I also had the mid spec car on order but no stock so went for a performance
Skid pad, slalom and moose test performance are top notch, in fact up with top tier sports cars. All tests can be seen on the BYD official TH-cam channel. @@EcoHouseThailand
Here in Thailand all the cables are present, but for some reason the cameras are not fitted. People have been importing genuine BYD cameras and selling them for ฿2,000 $56. I bought a camera and an SD card which fits in a slot by the front USBs and then you can manage your dashcam videos via the infotainment system
@@ItsJonesy777Australian models have the cameras but the software isn’t set up for it unfortunately. Would prefer that before any other additions like Netflix
@@Clove_Parma from all reports, there is no dashcam included in the Seal likewise with the recently released Dolphin. 360 cameras are included, if that’s what you’re referring to?
Hi, after you switch off driving assists in ADAS, do they reset back on when you stop/start the car again? Or does the system save your settings? Thanks
Car loosk really promising. But I think i will wait another half year to find out if the car is going to show any major flaws. Overall a lot of useful settings/features. And hopefully they improve the weak points like driver assists which are pretty bad compared to tesla and what not
As long as BYD cooperates with Huawei and uses Huawei's autonomous driving solution, it will immediately surpass Tesla. The strongest autonomous driving I have seen so far is Huawei.@@EcoHouseThailand
If you update to the lastest software, the ADAS should have improved. We didn't experience any issues with it yesterday when we tested the AWD at the dealer .. We didn't disable anything before we started our testdrive.
@@EcoHouseThailand Arh well, not sure if it's because I'm in the EU (Denmark) or not 🤷♂️ We really enjoyed our testdrive in the AWD .. We did have to fiddle a bit with the settings on the steering wheel to figure out the adaptive autopilot, but other than that it was really great 👌 You should be able to create shortcuts to the various settings via the drop down menu (like on most smartphones). Anyway, cheers for the walkthrough 👍
@@EcoHouseThailand Can you tell me which version you have now? Also, is not the update just an OTA update you can perform in minutes (just wondering why you are waiting with this).
@@EcoHouseThailand Thank you, they are arriving in showrooms here in Trinidad and Tobago soon. I'll definitely check that option out, the road signs here are similar to what you have in Thiland so disabling the sign recognition is another good point.
Hey apparently there's an update going next week which will reduce the noise the car makes.below 20km, any ideas if this is the case ? Also an app store.too
The Thai forums here have shown a dealer installed update (no OTA update currently available) that can switch it off the pedestrian warning, but that may be Thailand only. I have seen another post saying more sound options available. I visited my dealer asking about it and they said that they would investigate. BYD’s infotainment system is Android based I am an Apple guy so don’t know about loading apps and haven’t heard about an app store.
@@EcoHouseThailand thank you for the info, interesting to hear what's happening 😀 I was at a dealership in Ireland yesterday and they said a ota would be available next week to reduce the sound and an app store in the car itself, like Tesla I think
@@markdillon9588 The videos I’ve seen online with BYD seals in Europe seem to have a far louder pedestrian warning sound compared to my car. I can hardly hear the sound inside the car. I will look out for the OTA update - thanks

The latest update gave access to a browser, so anything like TH-cam, Netflix etc that can operate in a browser works. Some people have been able to add extra apps through a workaround but I’ve not bothered

Lots of worthwhile features to familiarize with. Interested to see the VTL's performance.
Coming soon
Thanks for making this video. Can't wait for my car to arrive. The performance is incredible to drive. Got the RWD though.
Interested to hear your thoughts on the RWD.......hey are not available on demo yet in Ireland. It would be the model I would be getting.
Any idea's on how to turn traction control off? Not sure if I missed it in this video

It’s disappeared for me too, I’m beginning to think I imagined it. I recall like a left arrow 800m.
@@EcoHouseThailand That's what im use to seeing in the HUD all satnav info, phone calls while driving that type of stuff.

Here in Thailand, you switch it off it stays off. Can’t promise that’s the same in all markets

The system remembers your settings
i installed half a dozen music and video apps on it. the stock app selection is so so but byd infotaiment system is basically an open android system.
Thanks will look into that
Is there an app store for these vehicles or can you sideload apps on the Seal?
@@dowphotography side load.

does anyone knows how to change the HUD speedmeter into navigation next turn info?

Just my opinion but I don’t think that BYD will catch Tesla at it’s own game of driver assistance and I think they have decided to not even try.

Sure as soon as I have worked out how to do - had the car less than 24hours 😂

Cool. Tks so much.
Hi can seal plays TH-cam video? Or can the video be played while the vehicle is moving
Since the update you can play TH-cam in a browser but only when the car is stopped
@@EcoHouseThailand owwww so sad
myself, would like the cameras on while at a stop or street driving due to motorbikes
They come on when you indicate. Blind spot detection is excellent on the mirrors and hud
