BYD Seal

I have the camera as well and thinking of doing the same when I collect. What do you mean by something to cut the tape with? Is it the plug that goes into the camera? Surely they would have something there to cut it for you?

Any word on how long it will take them to register the sim card in car so you can start using the mobile app and the maps? I read some Atto 3 buyers saying it took their dealer up to 3 weeks to get them registered

Nice, I'd say while you're there download the mobile app and see if you can get it working and connected to your car

Yes I think that's what the Atto 3 buyers I read about were waiting up to 3 weeks on. Basically in their system they need to register the sim card to whatever email address you want to register for the app with. Hopefully it's a quicker process now

Great idea to ask them to remove the housing. I would not have expected them to do so. Did they have a proper trim kit?

A very narrow nose small cutting pliers is recommended to cut the tape but with great caution, of course. With the housing fully removed, you should be able to get a good enough angle with plenty of light.

Happy to hear if there is a better tool. The housing snaps back on easily enough but get everything sorted on camera alignment first of course. Please let us know if you had to downgrade before the dashcam was recognised. No worries if you don't have time for all that, I hope to do the same soon if delivery ensues next week.

Thanks for updating the group as a first-mover 👋

you should get 2gb so I don't think yours is registered yet

They already had it off before I got there so don't know what tool they used. It took a little manoeuvring to get back on, but it only took a minute or two.

I just used a blade to cut the tape, I was careful though.

The dash cam just worked, put in an SD card and did the reset (hold the volume wheel on the centre console until the car turns off), and then it prompts you to restart. That was it.

Did you get the camera on Ali express? Could you share a link as there’s a few different vendors🙏

My seal will be a few weeks away so I can order the camera now and should be here by the time I get the car.

I ordered Atlantis grey too with blue interior so hopefully there’s enough stock in the current shipment as there’s a dozen people ahead of me with this configuration.

Yeah, I got it from Aliexpress alright, here's a link https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006141266246.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.5ec2f19c13zH9O

I ordered on Nov 15th and it arrived on Dec 5th, so not overly long shipping really.

I hadn't seen the Atlantis grey in person until today myself, but I'm very happy with the colour, actually looks better than the in photos imo.

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask 2 things

1) Does the BYD seal have ambient Lightning?

2) Is the low speed sound very loud and irritating? Are we able to disable it through any of the options?

I wouldn't be the most knowledgeable about driving cars, only been driving 4 years and this is only my 2nd car, but I'll just put a few thoughts after the drive home and a little bit around locally.

I left the traffic sign recognition on but turned all the options off on the drive home and it didn't beep at me at all, even when I was doing more than the limit on the motorway. It did turn back on when I stopped and while I did get some beeping it wasn't too bad and wasn't persistent, I kept over the limit on purpose to test it. It is a very easy car to over the limit in without noticing, I did a third drive around the ring road with the sign recognition off completely and kept having to slow down because I didn't realise how fast I was going, that is probably because I'm not used to anything with that much power.

I didn't have any issues with the lane keep assist, I set it to beep only and I think I got a beep a couple of times when I was on roads with no markings, I even changed lanes on the motorway without indicating(there were no other cars anywhere near me so it wasn't unsafe). This was something I was actually worried about because some reviews say it's very aggressive, but it didn't try to turn me back into my lane at all.

I would like if there was a bit more adjustment in the regenerative braking, I'd like to have something between the two settings, I've never used it before and the high feels a bit too much for me but the lower setting feels like there's none at all. I guess that's just something that I'll need to adjust too.

I used the voice assistant a good bit and it worked well, I had to repeat myself a couple of times but other than that it recognised what I said, even when I had music on.

The indicator stalks are on the right, I'm already pretty used to it so it's not a huge deal for me, just something you need to remind people if you're letting anyone have a drive in it.

Sorry, I didn't even notice it was out of stock.

When did you see it? Could have actually been mine you saw. I actually like green myself but don't think it's worth paying extra for. I saw someone who must have picked there's up this morning when I was driving up, it was the light grey colour and it did look nice but I do prefer darker coloured exteriors myself.

22nd Dec.

How dare you post that without pictures 🚗🚘😅

Thinking this myself. Was a dab hand at detailing my cars have various DA polishes etc but never put ceramic coating on.
