Just started watching this and it looks pretty damn good so far. Paradise (2025) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27444205/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk A Secret Service agent investigates the murder of a former president in a seemingly peaceful community.

Yet your headline says !! Just another troll topic to add to the many we get every day on here !!

Presumably these are via GBox ? I tried to add some apps without using GBox and via the old USB ( apk ) and password method as reportedly this was now working but without success.

I think you mentioned Android Auto previously so presumably you have an Android phone ( CarPlay being the equivalent for iPhones ) but am not familiar with AA so you could test the Google Maps version on AA via your phone, all i know is that on CarPlay it is inferior. To access CarPlay i click on the Apple CarPlay button and it syncs with my iPhone giving me a new screen with some of the apps on my phone available, presumably AA is the same ? Yup, not sure about the GBox situation on Sealion 7 : Basically Seal, Atto, Dolphin had a SIM from Singapore and the dealers have been changing these to a True SIM , at the same time they download a few apps including GBox which allows you to add a number of apps ( Google Maps, YouTube etc.) Perhaps Sealion 7 doesn’t have this arrangement but i imagine the SIM will be already True and somewhere there should be facility to add additional apps from GBox or Google Play Store, i really don’t know what your system is and am only basing it on my Seal.

Spotify will be your biggest user of data, if you use Google Maps from the GBox app then that will use quite a bit also, BYD Navigation will be on in the background and use a tiny amount. Wifey has Spotify on all the time but as a break from Thai music ( and we all need a break from that !! ) i use CarPlay to play my loaded music. I also use Radioplayer app or BBC Sounds. I can use Google Maps from CarPlay to save data but it is quite a bit worse than the GBox version. Since the implementation of GBox several have found that excessive usage of YouTube will use your data quickly and some have started using a “ box “ to play apps but this will need a sim and data package. In general i haven’t seen my data get below .9 GB , currently at 1.7 GB halfway through the month, Spotify used 290 mb. You probably won’t use all your data on Spotify and Navigation unless you go on a 1 month road trip but just keep an eye on what is using the most, most likely Spotify and use AA for the other stuff from your phone. Its a bit of juggling between the car and your phone but i don’t think you will be in any danger of running out of data unless you are using YouTube or Netflix etc .

With your memory it shouldn’t make much difference ??

I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 106 seconds  

Many of the easy charging experiences are spoiled by the app payment methods. My U.K. credit card was locked, more of an overly zealous U.K. bank than Thai charging app but its refusal to accept other methods of payment lead me in that direction, on an Altervim charger. I find EV Station Pluz ( Thai debit card), PEA Volta and EleXA (which allows me to pay via wallet without any form of card registration) to be the best. Reversharger recently introduced a Wallet topped up via Prompt Pay and i would use them only the eligible chargers for the 5.8 baht/kw offer are few and far between ( mainly Bangchak pumps ). Those charging apps requiring credit card registration are going to be only in dire need of a charge and last on my list, imho.

So, one minor celebrity decided to remove his collection of obscure and, imho, immature tattoos and now tattoos are finished ? I would say tattoos are far from finished, rightly or wrongly the “ fad “ is enjoying its current peak. Adoration for celebrities among the younger generation ( call them sheeple if you like) continues to soar and with people like Post Malone sporting many face tattoos don’t expect it to be “ finished “ anytime soon.

The man who knew infinity ( 2015 ) A true story of a young Indian scholar who broke barriers at pre WW1 Cambridge despite the difficulties he faced. A great cast, Dev Patel, Jeromy Irons and Toby Jones in particular. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787524/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

This is obviously wrong and the BYD App is downloaded onto your phone.

The SIM card is tucked away somewhere in the car, so far has been in a different place for each car ( Atto, Dolphin, Seal etc ) in the Seal is in the bottom of the centre armrest storage area, maybe for Sealion 7 also ? It will give you some services, Navigation, Spotify and Gbox etc ( Gbox is an app from which you can add other apps like YouTube, Google Maps, Netflix and BYD App etc). You will get 500 mb for the first month and 2 gb every month until the car is 2 years old. ( recently the SIM provider was changed from Singtel to True and we supposedly gained an additional 3 months free although this might not apply in your case). OTA updates will come via the SIM also but do not use your 2gb package. You don’t have to do anything to activate the SIM, maybe just push the dealer if it is slow, mine was a couple of days but i heard of others having a long wait. The BYD app is a handy tool which you can download now if you like but i believe can only be activated once the SIM is up and running. Especially handy to remote start the air conditioning to cool the car down, can be used anywhere ( you can also start from the remote but is limited to around 15 metres i believe ). If your car comes with the ABB wall charger then you will also need an app for this build using the BYD installation service they will help you set it up, once set up is plug and play.

Am i being unreasonable season 2 out now. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15792042/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

An OTA due soon ( for Seal and Sealion 6, possibly Sealion 7 already has) to version 2412 which is already out in Europe i believe. Customisable buttons for the controls along the bottom of the Home Screen , a newer shortcut screen and the all important shortcut to seat memory on Home Screen seems like the main change but some other upgrades also coming. Some of the FB software gurus are already upgrading via USB, before the OTA !, as being the first is apparently all important 😟

Congratulations. If buying an EV today Sealion 7 would be my choice. Keep us informed on any cool features you find or any questions you may have.

Brazil has been attempting to adopt Ethanol for 50 years due to a gasoline crisis and excess sugar cane production. While several advances in technology have emerged the end result does not show much improvement. Ethanol was added to gasoline to create “álcool” , used as an alternative fuel it proved much cheaper but unfortunately the mpg suffered. ”Flex” fuel engines were introduced with the ability to run either fuel or a mixture of both. Fluctuations in gasoline and ethanol price meant sometimes it was more economical to run álcool and sometimes gasoline. Resulting in a comical situation where gas stations would display the percentage of price álcool versus gasoline: eg. Álcool 69% of gas = use álcool Álcool 71% of gas = use gas Álcool 70% of gas = take your pick. Some states taxing differences also come into effect meaning if you live near to a state border it may be possible to get cheaper fuel by travelling a little. While Flex fuel cars took off big time, motorcycles also available, many have stated that due to the tuning of Flex fuel engines to accept both fuels the mpg suffers and opted to have their cars tuned for one fuel only ! While many of the legacy automakers have adopted flexible fuel engines in their new models ( currently 14, including Toyota, Honda, Fiat, Ford and BMW ) some might say they have been forced into production as the population have been lead to believe that “ Flex “ cars are more economical. Others have said that due to the compromise in setting engine tuning the mpg suffers and therefore does not warrant the time and money spent on development.

Yes, if that ! It takes me around 38-43% each way ( 210 km ) meaning my range is around 490-550 km So around 200-230 baht there and back. A 0-100% charge would cost around 260 baht.

Well, it appears it was as Fruit Trader said, the aforementioned “ Life Save Unit “ which I had seen on the manual drawing and had no idea what it was . On taking it apart was expecting to see some sort of last chance mesh filter ! Expect the build up of lime scale affected the flexibility of the diaphragm in turn affecting the pressure reading by the switch ?? Saved me time and money as was thinking could only be the bladder tank or the pressure switch at fault. You live and learn ……… well I did !

I drive to visit an ageing mil around twice a month, 420 kms in total or 460 km if we go out for lunch. I don’t need to charge but if necessary I can pull in to one of many chargers on highway 32 for a 10% top up to make sure i get home and put the car to charge overnight at 3 baht per kw.

The Recruit Season 2 is out and hopefully up to the standard of Season 1 . https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16030542/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Who cares what is happening in NZ ? This topic is about Thailand where many malls, gas stations, coffee shops, hotels and even some seven-11’s have chargers.

Ignoring your poor attempt at humour even you must have realised that EV’s are not for everyone but if you are prepared to spend 1 hour a week charging at a gas station or mall then EV’s can be utilised like any other type of vehicle.

Wonder if those were the “ Activity Cars “, as they like to call them ? Showroom, test drive and show models ( shown at malls and mini motor shows etc ), usually a near perfect car with very low mileage but an early year of manufacture. Often advertised on FB as upgraded models appear or models discontinued. This example of the Ora 07 seems to include used cars ( can’t be that old ) with a checkup, guarantee as per new and all the freebies. GSPO = GWM Standard Pre Owned Seems like a good deal as a hefty discount and ideal for anyone looking at the Ora 07 models

Yes, interesting why only the Atto 3 here gets the dash cam, subsequent BYD’s ( think I am right in saying the Dolphin doesn’t get dash cam as standard ? ) need it retrofitted but thankfully is readily available from online buying sites and even FB jumped on the bandwagon. In the U.K. I see they have to buy the cable along with the dash cam !

Wouldn’t protect his valuables from anyone armed with the right tools though ……. including…. a potato !!
