New Features – Energy Consumption Analysis

A function to display energy consumption during driving, history, and consumption distribution has been added.

New Features – BYD Assistant and Voice Control

• Activation of BYD Assistant from the steering wheel with the screen turned off: pressing the voice button turns on the screen and opens the voice bar.
• New voice commands to turn heating and ventilation on and off (e.g., "Hi BYD, turn off heating"; "Hi BYD, turn on/off ventilation").

New Features – AC Charging Current Limitation

• The function to limit AC charging current has been added: 6 A, 8 A, 10 A, 16 A, Max.
• The value refers to the current per phase in AC charging (e.g., three-phase 230 V, 16 A is equivalent to 16 A per phase, 48 A total).
• Helps avoid overloads on the home network and high costs during peak hours; especially useful in old installations or with time-of-use tariffs.

Path: Settings → Energy → Charging and discharging → AC charging current limitation.

Optimizations – Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

• In P mode, all functions are available.
• In modes other than P, only voice functions are allowed; video playback is not supported.
• CP/AA pop-up rules: with reverse gear and camera active, they should not be covered; outside of that view, they are displayed normally.

• Top Quick Controls: Inclusion of quick shortcuts at the top to adjust key car settings without navigating through submenus.

Air Conditioning and Energy Management

• Air Conditioning Optimization: Improved air conditioner algorithm to make it more economically efficient and reduce overall consumption on the road.
• Thermal Preconditioning: Battery preheating function that improves fast charging (DC) speed in cold climates.

Driving Assistants and System

• Intelligent Visual Adaptation: Optimized automatic synchronization for the clear/dark mode of the screen along with CarPlay and Android Auto.

• Larger Controls: Renewed interface with larger buttons to manage the air conditioner temperature before getting in the car.

Important Installation Notes

• Duration: The installation process may take between 40 and 60 minutes to complete.
• Usage Restriction: The car cannot be driven or charged while the update is being executed. It must have more than 20% battery to start it.
• Blocking of External Apps: Some users report that externally installed (sideloaded) applications stop consuming the car's mobile data after this version, forcing the use of a shared Wi-Fi network from the phone.
