Nobody was asking.

Well that’s $40 million in the bank for Paul and $20 for Tyson, no losers in the ring only those shelling out big money to watch this dull match.

Nope, Paul takes it on points

Yes, 2407 seems to be the latest system version. Did they mention about the SIM expiry date ?, I see 2026-10-06 ( Oct or June ) is this in line with the 3rd year anniversary ? therefore another year ?

There’s a lot of activity going on at the moment. Got this message just now: Clicking on the blue V number gives me this: So, a very small upgrade, no new features only a little optimization, and no accepting the upgrade, this one was thrust upon me. Apparently, the latest upgrade ( V1.3.1 ? ) is only done at the dealer and changes the system version to 2407. Many having the SIM change find themselves getting a system version update also. Many complaining that the GBox ( YT, NF, etc ) is not working and a few stating cannot start air con via BYD app since the visit to the dealer ( not sure if SIM or system update to blame ). Think i will wait a while for the changes !

Well that is good news and seems like they will extend FOC as there must be some 2 year old Atto’s out there and no mention of requesting payment for extending subscriptions on the FB gossip groups.

Please do, am interested to see what benefits there are with this. I did get my system downgraded to sideload some apps but my GBox app has since gone a little sideways ( seen others on FB with the same problem ) can see my installed apps but cannot install more. Good to know that it is being offered to 13 months old cars, mine is 12 months old in a couple of weeks so will see what happens. A few FBers being refused SIM change if their car is not old enough. It may be a coincidence but seems to coincide with the 2 year anniversary of release of Atto 3 here and the original plan was to start paying for a SIM plan after 2 years. Wonder if BYD have had a rethink and extended the original 2 year plan @BKKBike09 ?, or if the SIM change is to facilitate the new content, YouTube, Netflix etc

How many months have you had your Seal ?

I used to listen to the BBC News on the hour also at 107 FM but the reception was bad. Then I discovered this app: Use CarPlay to connect my phone and can listen to BBC News when I want along with a multitude of other radio stations in English. Fark that Thai Khrap !!

BYD Seal released in Thailand in late September 2023.

Yes, i think it is early days, some reports that dealers are denying knowledge, some doing the SIM change but not loading GBox app and some doing both. Don’t think the update is related other than the new SIM requires some update/reset and the latest version is available, but not for OTA apparently. Our turn will come.

Seeing a lot of chatter on FB BYD groups about changing the SIM card to enable downloading the GBox app ( and subsequent Google apps, YouTube, Netflix, etc ). This is apparently being initiated by BYD dealerships for free and so far i have seen posts from Dolphin and Seal owners. Also an update is performed at the same time , presumably V1.3.1 as already released in Europe. Note new ventilated seats shortcuts on main screen and the multitude of new apps. Apparently takes a couple of hours to complete, will enquire when I get the 1 year service at the end of the month.

I like Carvey, his impressions are usually pretty funny but this one fell a bit flat, Musk is too bland for a decent parody. Chopping broccoli !!

Yeah, but if she gets down to her underwear you’ll be all over it !!

Here’s something that might be good ( might be terrible also but worth a look ! ) Starts Dec 5th Black Doves https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27995113/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

This is probably worthy of a watch: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28698590/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk No release date yet. Stars a U.K. favourite Siobhan Finneran, famous for many roles over the years, Rita, Sue and Bob too, Happy Valley, Time and the more recent comedy Alma’s not Normal. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12106710/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

As mentioned briefly this 2018 series is a great alternative to the greatly awaited yet disappointing series The Day of the Jackal. Bodyguard (2018) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7493974/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Otherwise one could always revisit the Edward Fox classic. The Day of the Jackal (1973) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069947/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Or even the Willis/Gere remake. The Jackal (1997) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069947/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Which model ? There are 3 models: Performance @ 1.499m baht Premium @ 1.399baht Dynamic @ 1.199m baht

Forgot to mention: I fit the Sinjet front/rear cameras with LED rear view mirror, gives an excellent rear view except for when it is raining heavily ( should have gone for the inside rear view camera option instead of outside ). Has a 24 hour “ sentry “ view, albeit only front and rear. Also have BYD front dash cam.

Thanks, i did wonder if proximity unlock could be annoying. My Honda Jazz would unlock by sensing the proximity of my hand when the key was within 1 metre i think. I would be happy with that rather than physically pressing the button which seems a little fiddly, especially at night when that welcome light doesn’t illuminate anywhere near the door handle.

Okay, here goes: 1) Probably Atto 3 but like the 2 x Deepal models ( S07 + L07 ). 2) The ability to add anything as a shortcut to the much underused shortcut screen. ( add a button on all screens ) 3) Nothing major, considered front end clear wrap, mainly aesthetic changes ( de-chrome ). 4) 80% film on glass roof, don’t think about it now except when stationary in direct sunlight for a while . 5) As long as possible, would need a major change ( solid state batteries etc ) for me to consider. 6) Missing front parking sensors annoyed me, the physical door handle buttons ( proximity unlock would be great ).

Time for a little feedback me thinks. Most of us regular posters on this thread have had the Seal for around a year so ….…… ……. What are your feelings about your Seal purchase ?? 1) Which other model would you have gone for if the Seal wasn’t around. 2) What would you like to see in the next OTA ? 3) Have you made any major changes ? ( wheels, tyres, wrap, etc ) 4) Have you installed film, the supplied cover or nothing on the glass roof ? 5) How long will you keep your Seal ? 6) What things do you wish were better ?

I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 74 seconds  

Exact same thing happened to me !! fbdown.mov Don’t think the dog has forgiven me .

PEA Volta app shows it as closed ( couldn’t remember where i saw it, mistakenly thought it was google maps ), shame the other apps which show all chargers ( Plugshare, ChargeLoma ) don’t !
