BYD Seal

Install Tune in on your phone, make sure its up to date. Hit the Google mic on android auto say 'OK Google play 2FM from tune in' . Works flawlessly never had an issue and can ask for any other station.

Not sure what app you need ?

But how was your weekend with it. What mileage you put on it ?

Is yours already on 1.3? Might be worth checking. Mine wasn't when I collected in February (despite saying to the dealership I didn't mind waiting longer if all updates and recalls were done before collection).

I got it confirmed this morning that a new rear windscreen will be in production with a better Aerial and it will be covered under warranty as a recall. They said it had been tested and confirmed in Dublin and how waiting on production and stock.

Jeez,an expensive and time consuming recall that for BYD- a needless screw-up even?

Thanks, Wexford guys have ordered 10 and I put my name down for 1 to be replaced under recall, the radio app will also be updated so it can be use the new aerial, to allow searching for stronger signal, whilst listening to broadcast,

an app works but there are drops along the M11 after the Gorey bypass that affect the data, which not perfect. Also the phone gets hot as it’s doing the Wise and radio and charging wirelessly so would be better to have a native app,

Also the navigation in the update is meant to be now linked to google so you can look for a business and it will put into the native nav app, first thing I asked so it will do eircodes he wasn’t sure. Would be nice if it did.

😳🙄😂

Surely if the antenna is in the top part of the rear window, then it would be fair to assume that there is a physical link between this and the head unit in the car so it must be feasible to 'bolt on' something discrete under the head liner to enhance reception as opposed to removing complete rear window? I'd be reluctant to go down the 'remove & replace' road anyway as not sure how they could integrate a 'better' antenna into the glass, over and above what is there already. Last thing I want is a poorly resealed unit resulting in potential water ingress.

You shouldn't be running screen and process GPS hungry apps like waze whilst also wireless charging. Your creating alot of heat in all the wrong places. Phones have limits. You're better off plugging in usb c if using GPS apps like waze and screen on time.

Its normal for the devide to protect itself from the heat build up on the rear.

After a year with my Seal RWD, had first long trip from Cork to Dublin and back. Firstly, so comfortable to drive the distance and AutoPilot worked well on motorway. However, not for the first time had issues with public charging. Stopped in Junc 14 on way up as was getting food. Connected to fast ESB charger but dropped to 4kw after about 1 min. Unplugged and tried another charger but same happened. Was overnight in carpark with Monta 7kw charger so plugged in for the night. In morning discovered shut off after only adding in 7kw - checked app but no settings to turn off. Had to stop in Dublin at ABB 50kw charger and got consistent 43kw. Had issues previously with chargers so stopped in Fermoy at 300kw chargers to check charging - started at about 40kw but dropped quickly to 4kw. Tried 3 different chargers and all tje same. Anyone else having issues with public charging? Works perfectly with home charger. Have service booked for May so will get them to check as cannot be right that 90+% of chargers dont work with my car.

On the fast chargers it was using the cable with the chargers. Tried about 5-6 different chargers with different powers and so far just the 1 that worked ok. Not sure if maybe a software issue or connecion problem as home charger works perfect everytime.

I go up and down the M7/M8 regularly. Haven't really had issues. At junction 14 got 70 kw today. Get over 100 there and at ionity cashel sometimes. I think it's temperature dependent but I'm sure there are more factors at play. Have used portlaoise also (AG and Ecars) no problems in general. Once or twice got slow slow speeds that's from 50 plus uses.

Hi all,

Has anyone experienced problems with their wipers? Mine weren’t working this morning, even though I just picked up the car from the showroom on Friday. I’ve tried everything—turning the car on and off, testing all wiper settings, and using the cleaning function to unblock them but nothing worked.

The only thing different I did today was to turn on the heated seats and the aircon from remote.

I’ll bring the car back to the dealership today for a check. Any insights or similar experiences would be appreciated!

Explain 'not working' as in they were not going up and down , moving at all ?

I had a month of public only charging so really got a chance to test this.

When on motorway and the battery is at operating temp I always get a decent charging speed.

Slow speeds were almost always due to lack of pre conditioning in my experience. Happened many times for me. Ability to precondition via a button in the car (like other manufacturers) would make a big difference.
