    I always wait for the car to bing on the dash. ocd

    I've been using a tethered EO Mini (not pro) for three years, first with Mini SE and more recently an Ioniq 5 and a Fiat 500e. Can't comment how it might work with Atto but has been faultless for me. Cars manage any schedule without issue.

    I have an EO Mini and got I installed by Fokearn. Very quick and professional. No messing around they just done the job and then left. No idea if it works do lol. I am sure it would but I got it to future proof my house and for when I get an electric car in the future probably a second hand leaf or Zoe or kona.

    I see a lot of Attos/Seals on the road these days. The price of these cars doesn't seem to be exceptionally cheap. Why would anyone prefer BYD over similarly priced VW/Tesla EVs? Any thoughts on this?


    My best guess is that BYD is selling these cars way below sticker prices directly to businesses/taxi companies etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭ColemanY2K


    the seal has a bigger battery than the m3 rwd highland for similar money. both excellent cars by all accounts. vw's have limited features, dull software and more expensive.

    the new id4 may give the atto a run for its money given vw have upped their game with the new model.

    however my view is that the early adopters of byd vehicles are a lot more savvy and know when manufacturers are taking the pee and when they offering good value for money.

    As above.

    I'm not giving the other lads 65k basic for the basic version of their product . (seal)

    most 4 door saloons with these features are coming in around the 70k valuation banana's.

    I don’t think BYD are selling cars under list price to be honest for now anyway they have enough interest to meet the supply they have but that may change who knows. Why would you consider one over Tesla and legacy brands ? They are better value than most of the legacy stuff and on par with Tesla in my opinion. Tesla has the edge for software and the one place BYD are definitely behind is the MSL €2k delivery charge it’s a joke and their finance rates and pcp rates directly don’t seem to be that competitive or at least they weren’t when looked at a seal a while back. But with price cuts from so many now it has tightened up the market snd given more choices in the BYD price range.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭remoteboy


    The low GMFV and high PCP rate (6.2%) make the monthly payments pretty eye watering for cars that are priced at the lower end of the market.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,322 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    What edge in SW. With android auto or apple CarPlay. SW concerns don't really exist tbh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    I don’t so much mean in the media interface but just cars operating system is slicker and the app works better on the Teslas. Having said that the lack of CarPlay and android auto is a minus so they don’t have it perfected plus no physical buttons. Actually I like Renaults use of android automotive for the cars operating system in the megane and upcoming scenic. CarPlay is still an option on it. Haven’t seen their app though so can’t comment on it.

    Because not only are BYD building and designing there own cars but they also have lots of experience with batteries as that's where they started out from and they make the batteries for there own cars too. . BYD make the best batteries and your phone more than likely has a BYD battery in it as well.


    Also VWs and Teslas are dull. At least the BYD cars have a drivers screen. Teslas do not and they do not even have a HUD.

    New software update v1.6 here now, keep a check on your notifications bell



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭Fian


    So my wife activated an OTA update today - what has changed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭finno


    Wireless CarPlay

    show your car location on the app

    3 fingers use on the touch screen to use the air con, up and down for temp and left and right for fan speed

    there is more but can't think of them at the moment



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭Fian


    Thanks Finno. Can location not showing on my app but i have a message saying "Vehicle and BYD privacy statement status is not agreed, can not perform remote operation, please go to the setting".

    Anyone know if that is a setting in car or in App? Car is currently with my wife on the other side of the country, but she is driving home tonight.

    Does anyone use a usb stick to play music compilations



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 384 ✭✭AUDI20




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    With the atto3 I can't get the tracks to play in succession

    Have you each artist loaded in separate folders on the USB Stick, you should then get a list of each artist when you go into the USB stick click on that artist and all the songs in that folder should play after each other, if you want another artist you then have to click on that and so on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    Thanks, using VLC now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,197 ✭✭✭Fian


    I bought my atto 3 last August. what is the story with the service which was included in the purchase price? Do you contact the dealership and arrange for it? when - is it after 12 months? Grateful for info please.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    Yes you will start to get a service warning on the car as you get close to the service due date. MSL advise booking a bit in advance we had got ours serviced last Friday but booked it in maybe 6 weeks before that. Car came back with 2 new tyres new wipers and gleaming. Very impressed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 760 ✭✭✭Corkey123


    Just bought a 231 Atto 3 and have so say I am very happy with is so far.

    the only small gripe I have is the radio, it can't seem to get one of my favourite stations. Otherwise its great.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    The radio is not the best or most intuitive. I don’t use it much but I noticed when you travel long distances it’s not great at keeping stations tuned in. My other gripe would be the lack of automatic wipers. First world problems I suppose 😂.

    How many kilometres on the clock, was it front tyres?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    About 18k on the clock. Yes front tyres. They weren’t at the legal limit but there wasn’t a year left in them either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,451 ✭✭✭xtal191


    Has anyone here bought and installed the official dash cam? Or know anywhere in Dub that sell/install it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭granturismo


    I bought it from topbyd and installed it myself. Theres a few install videos on youtube.

    I had to file a few mm off the existing plastic box that houses the camera, I couldnt get the cable to sit flush inside the box, the filing isnt visible and I should have started feeding the cable from the bottom up - it would have been easier to pass it from the back of the glove box to the door pillar.

    just got the dash cam off topbyd. But laughed when I saw the part asking for a TIP to support their team.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    Is it a wide eyed lens,and chance you could show some footage?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,491 ✭✭✭✭smurfjed


    need to get it delivered and installed first, and actually I need to also get the car :):) (due next week)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,491 ✭✭✭✭smurfjed


    The camera is a tiny little thing, dealership aren’t too keen to install it for me so it’s time for me to watch YouTube videos. Simple enough task as long as I don’t break one of the 7th retaining clips for the mount and assuming that it’s wired for the camera.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭granturismo


    The majority of Atto 3s shipped to Europe dont seem to have the camera cable preinstalled - Seals do. A few contributors to the UK facebook forum said they had the cable preinstalled in their Attos.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,491 ✭✭✭✭smurfjed


    Had a great discussion with the dealer today trying to get them to install the camera if the cable is preinstalled. But as the kit I purchased has both the camera and the cable, I also have the option to have it done later.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    And I was going to ask you if you had installed it yet😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1 Tel01


    I had to jump start the 12 v battery and now the interior lights and the overhead switches for the sun roof and sun shade are not working. Anyone now a solution for this.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 40,806 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    Might be a trip to the dealer.
    Can you do a reboot of the car?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭finno


    Has anyone got the 1.7 update yet?

    The UK seem to have got it in fact they are getting 1.7.1

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    Have you got Android Auto



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭finno


    yes, and apple carplay i'm currently on 1.16.1



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    Update is on a rollout at the moment



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    Got the OTA update this evening didn’t read release notes but few bits I can see are heated seats on the main screen and the navigation app has a bit of an overhaul with route planning. Tried entering a few locations and it planned it with the required amount of stops. It looked pretty good and will be interesting to see how accurate their planning is for range accuracy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭horse7


    Any improvement with the Traffic Recognition Sign?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    I didnt drive after updating but the one thing I did notice is there is a scale of sensitivity for the speed limit recognition its default is 0 but goes to +/-2 this may have been there previously but I hadn’t seen that setting before.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭granturismo


    that sensitivity scale was there before 1.6.

    The UK facebook groups are saying TSR is still not working on 1.7.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Stumper931


    Ah ok as I said I haven’t seen it before I have never had it work any good in Ireland. When was in the uk it seemed to work better but still not great.
