My Atto 3 is a UK spec of the "Design" Model which doesn't come with the dash cam fitted unlike the same spec in (i think) China, Australia and NZ.
I decided to purchase the parts from the below link:
www.aliexpress.com/item/ 1005005255075122.html
And perform an DIY install myself!
It was pretty straight forward overall but make sure you have a plastic prying tool and also before you purchase any parts, check if the cable is already there, I heard that sometimes the camera cable was installed and only the camera was missing.
Good luck if you try and install!
Happy to answer any questions in the comments should you need help. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Great idea but you should run the cable behind the curtain airbag at the top of the A pillar. It means removing more of the plastic covering the pillar but in a crash that cable will prevent the airbag from deploying correctly.
Thanks for the comment! You make a very valid point here! I was very careful as to not obstruct the airbag and at no point did I install it in front of it.
Can you show the plastic cover removing?
Great video thank you, appreciate your work.
Thanks for watching!
Great job, dear. How/where u bought the cam? THKS.
Great video thanks. Very irritating that it's not fitted in EU/UK models considering I can buy a third party camera and install that. Anyway I've ordered parts from AliExpress so fingers crossed it works!
please make a video on how to add subwoofer or Bass tube to Atto 3 or tell which port is for subwoofer?
Great video did the car automatically add the DRV button to the screen when you plugged in the camera.
I am actually the first purchaser it this car in the uk 5 months ago and was extremely disappointed the the top of this range did not have the dash cam set up installed. Even though standard in Australia Asia and India plus it’s 10,000 dollars cheaper in Aussie land and more in Thailand.
Hi there! Yes DRV app did just appear after it instructed me via an on screen popup that it needs to reboot. Once back up from the reboot the app was there and ready to use. I was very pleased how easy it was!
Did you SD card record driving history after you installed the dash cam.
Great video very informative, can you do another video showing the dash cam history and video and photo section of the software.
Eu and Uk won’t let BYd or any car have dash cam coz of stupid regulations mate , nothing to do with BYD
@BYDBloke Any chance you can do a video for rain sensor for wiper and how to make it work in ATTO 3? Thanks!
Excelente vídeo 👏🏼👏🏼. Pena que não tem um vídeo dessa qualidade do Song. Comprei a camera e falta instalar. Pergunta: você tem película no parabrisa?
obrigado pelo comentário!
Não tenho filme no para-brisa
Thank you very much for showing your work. I wanted to ask you, in which connector should you connect the camera cable? As I understand it, it should be in the blue connector, which is closer to the white connector, is that right? And if the connector is busy? should you disconnect the one that is connected and connect the one from the camera? what would i disconnect? Another camera that already incorporates the vehicle?
another question, that blue connector, to disconnect it, has a yellow tab which you must press?
If you were to look at the unit from the front, the socket to use is the second one from the left. Its a green/blue colour and if you have a cable already in its place then thats good news! as the cable will have been installed in the factory. I dont recommend disconnecting anything. Have you been able to remove the plastic near the rear view mirror? I wonder if you have the cable installed and are only missing the camera module?
@@BYDBloke hi my Atto 3 has the cable pre installed but struggling to find the end connector up behind the driving mirror l have been told the the blue socket is only for the dash cam use plus the white socket is only for a rear facing camera. Where l am struggling is why when l connect the cable from Aliexpress which comes in a greenish colour into the control box in the foot well and connect the dash cam nothing happens.
Have tried two different dash cams from the same supplier as BYDbloke uses.
I’m wondering is it’s a software update issue since l downloaded version 1.4 yesterday. Will continue trying to fine the original blue plug but it appears to be tucked inside the sunroof control panel and cannot fine a way to drop it to get in.
@@chrisphilipson4146 Hi Chris, Sorry to hear you are having issues. I have just installed 1.4 and the camera is still working for me as before. Are you definitely sure the cable is fully inserted? is your atto3 the right hand drive version?
@@BYDBloke hi and yes mine is the RHD version l have now traced the original dash cam cable but it’s been looped with the connector tucked behind the sunroof control panel.
But even the cable connectors that came with the Aliexpress order it still did not activate any response.
Spoken with Arnold Clarke but no response.
Do you need to buy the cable also for the BYD Seal?
Hi Again finally got my dash cam to reboot and now have DRV app on screen. Question ? Does your Album app allow photo editing after you have taken a photo using the dash cam. See( BYD TH-cam on photo editing in Album. My does not wonder how to get it.
Very pleased you got your dash cam up and running! I will have a look at the photo editing and let you know
Great video, I would like to know how to remove plastic section steps by steps. Many thanks in advance.
Ok, I will try do a follow up but it’s very straight forward if you have a plastic tool like the orange one I had in this video
There is a rumour going around from a BYD Owners (Au) video that BYD may have removed the Driver Recorder app altogether from European models. However, I've just had my Atto 3 delivered but when I checked in the Apps list it appears to be still there. Fantastic!. I'm waiting for a dry day and some free time to install. Big thanks to BYD Bloke for making this video. 🙂
Thanks for watching the video and the feedback! Glad to hear you have the app still and that my video may help you with the install. It really is a well put together car and it does a lot of things really well. I hope you enjoy your Atto 3 as much as me and my family do. All the best with the install :)
@BYDBloke Hey. thanks for the reply! Wasn't expecting that. Love the car so far.. but still trying to get my head around many things. One issue I've had is with the radio and the DAB. They're terrible. The rep said avoid the radio and just use DAB, but that can be horrendous as well..breaking up all the time and coming out with hideous squeals! Do you have this problem? I just use my phone and AppleCar now.
@@despicable866 I have seen a few reports of this issue but personally I am yet to experience it. I have only used the DAB radio so far and its been pretty solid. Have you noticed if it happens in a certain areas like built up areas etc.? Have you had a car with DAB before and driven around the same areas with no issues? But yes mainly I am the same as you in that I tend to use CarPlay
Yes I had a Hyundai Ionic Hybrid that had DAB. Wasn't perfect but I live in Wetherby and reception is usually pretty good round here. In the Atto you can't use them at all. Can't be right can it. I'll talk to the dealer who no doubt will be clueless about it. Maybe it'll improve with updates. Have great evening. And thanks for your time and interest.
Update for anyone with similar issue: Re-scanned the DAB stations and fixed the problem. Great stuff!!
Thank you! The link isn’t active anymore - don’t want to order the wrong product - there are so many options. Would you mind dm me a fresh link?
Thanks for the comment, I have just checked and the link is still active. What it might be is there could be a space after the / in the link so just ensure thats not the case and try again.
Great video, thanks. Unfortunately, I can't get your link to work. Has it expired?
Thanks for the feedback! Sorry to hear the link has expired. If you go on to AliExpress and search for BYD Atto 3 dash cam, there are plenty of other sellers around. The key is to look for the oval byd logo on the back of the cam
I have a BYD HAN I didn't have the cable in it so after installing the cam I didn't find where to connect it in the car. Can you help please where is located the unit in the HAN?
Hello there, apologies but we don't yet have the HAN available in the UK. But I am wondering if its the computer unit is in a similar place. Have you checked around the footwell within the centre console area?
How much did the unit cost you, and how long did it take to arrive. More importantly what did you ask for?
Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for the comments! The cost for the camera and cable plus delivery was £96 and it took around 2 weeks to arrive.
@@BYDBloke For the cost, what a difference 👍
Could you post a link to purchase the cashback kit UK thanks
I notice this car is via Ocotpus EV? Got mine in November and I wondering if this would cause an issue with the lease?
Not sure, but I intend to remove it when I change cars and use it on my next BYD!
Did you put it in the blue ore the brown Slot?
Thanks for the comment it was the Blue slot
Hi can you send me me link for this camera kit in in uk
Any reason why not to go through the driver side?
I decided that it’s much easier to hide all the wire slack behind the glove box area. Also the socket for the camera in the main computer unit was closer to the passenger side.
Hello sir I have problem in Atto3,you have Rear Door glass machine Not working some solution Releted video clip,Door glass machine video clip.
Hello my friend, thanks for the comment, sorry to hear you are having problems. So I understand you boot/trunk door is not working? or are you referring to the rear passenger door?
Been told by BYD dealer fitting this camera will void the warranty in UK. does anyone know if this is true?
Hello there, thanks for the comment. Did they give you any detail on why this would void the warranty?
Spoke to them again and is all ok, can I ask how did you put the wire from the headlining to the door seal, did you take the A pilar trim off to put the wire to the back of the airbag? If you put it straight across the joining would that not interfere with the airbag?
Cheers Peter
How long did it take to get the camera from china
Thanks for watching! it took around 3 weeks
I got my dash cam and cable but it was not recognised by the car. I’m not sure the cam is the same as yours, so ordered another.
At the beginning you say put the cable into the first green socket next to the black wire but it looks like it’s a white socket like mine, was that a mistake and it is a white socket. That takes the green plug.
Ok, did you put the cable in the 2nd slot in from the left? I can send you picks if you have an email?

Just received camera and cable for my Atto 3…I have removed panels required for in stall.
can anyone advise me.I notice there is already a cable plugged in to the that socket…So I thought maybe camera cable is already installed.Which would be great.problem is I don’t see cable that plugs into camera….cheers
see cable to plug in
Hi I had the same problem but even after connecting with a new cable the DRV would not upload to enable the camera to work
@@chrisphilipson4146 press and hold silver volume on consul for few seconds.This will reboot screen and DVR app should appear
Hello, did you resolve this? Looks like I have a cable installed, but no camera and I can't see another cable in the mirror housing.
Hi BYD Bloke Chris here again but on another subject how is you 12 volt battery behaving with this winter cold. I have to carry a power bank at all times as the 12 volt battery drops it capacity in an instant and will not start the car. After fitting a battery monitor l could see there was a problem and have been promised a new replacement battery 6 weeks ago but waiting for it to get here from China.
Hi there, Currently I have had zero issues with my battery. Sorry to hear you are seeing problems.Can you tell me more how you are using the power bank to start the car? also, what kind of battery monitor do you have and how do you use that?
It all started when one cold morning l went to start the car and there suddenly up comes the screens flashing and blinking plus numerous warning and then total cutout of all screens.
After two more incidents in which BYD RAC got me started using a power bank and getting nowhere with Arnold Clarke as to what was happening l went and bought one my self and on doing a TH-cam search saw this guy all having similar problem with the Niro and others.
They all bought the BM2 battery monitor around £25 and it’s brilliant at showing what is happening with the charging and telling you what state the charge is.
It soon proved to me that the battery was faulty having one hour before showing 100% charge at 12.6v and then 4.0v and the car had not been moved.
Any way 15 dead starts with the power bank over 6 weeks and Arnold Clark saying a replacement battery was on its way from BYD now 9 weeks l said l could just go and get one myself and save the 116 mile drive to Glasgow.
This went on and on with the excuse it would void my warranty then a lie that a new battery from another manufacturer had not fixed the problems they had with other atto 3 s in Glasgow then the final breakdown which ended with loss of functions on the ADAS system and loss of power to the steering and refusal even with the recovery guys power bank. Leading to a full blown recovery and myself left with no replacement courtesy car.
That was one week ago yet BYD roadside warranty states l should have one.
They now say it is a faulty 12 v battery but when l was told l would still have to wait for the new battery to arrive from China plus it’s going around the long way due to the Red Sea dispute, l said just take a battery out of the spare new cars parked at the back not sold.
As obviously it takes a while for the battery to fail in my case 10 months and 6000 miles since presently it’s cost me £600 in car hire charges so far.
Going into see them today round trip of 232 miles to get some answers but not happy.
What model Atto 3 did you buy
Design spec
I cannot believe that BYD cheated you Brits out of a dash cam. It is standard in the Aussie Atto 3.
Due to privacy issues and GDPR apparently.
How on earth do I remove the plastic covers 🥲
I would first purchase a plastic remover tool - if you go to AliExpress and search for the term "plastic auto dismantle tools" you will see various types to buy. In the video I use a orange prying tool. With these you can gently push the thin end under the plastic and pry it away.
