If am on an application that doesn’t show the air con shortcut button on info screen I use the steering wheel buttons to adjust temp or fan speed. It would appear this latest update to change fan/temp is over the top as we already have: Voice commands Steering wheel shortcut Info screen shortcut

Rumour floating around FB is that a new OTA ( 2403 ) could be coming soon, upgrades including: Wireless Apple Carplay Vehicle location on BYD app Open air con settings using 3 fingers on touchscreen ( 3 fingers on screen in any mode, slide up and down to adjust temp, left and right to adjust fan speed ) A video doing the rounds on FB explaining how to upgrade via a flash drive attracting the usual attention, it’s all in Thai ( and speeded up Thai at that ! ) so i can’t comment on its authenticity but it was posted by the guy who downgraded and side loaded apps for me. He seems to be in the know about all things BYD but even so i will wait for the OTA.

Some great photos and prose as usual Owl . Eurovision song contest is a freak fest now, no good songs and everyone trying to win by being more outlandish than the others !! U.K. offering was disgraceful gay porn and managed to get zero phone in votes , i think even the LGTPMDHW+ ( 😒) crowd were embarrassed. Time to call it a day.

Yes but as the Thai Embassy in London will be issuing the visa I would go with their guidelines. MFA guidance has been wrong in the past, there was a glaring error on their website for many years ( don’t remember what it actually was ), Ubonjoe would frequently have to correct others quoting the MFA website.

Let’s have a poll !! My money is on an extended Atto 3 in black with black interior ?

I did it, albeit back in 2016, the police clearance using ACRO is straightforward and easy. The medical certificate: There was a lot of uncertainty about this at the time so: I visited a local Thai clinic and got it signed for 360 baht with just the usual temperature check and weight/height checks. In the U.K. i visited my old GP who I hadn’t seen for at least 25 years, she gave me a letter stating that she had reviewed my records and there was no evidence of any of the diseases stated. I think it boils down to gp’s in the U.K. are unwilling to sign the medical certificate without actually testing whereas in Thailand ……… At the Thai embassy in London the U.K. letter was refused but the Thai certificate accepted. Probably too late to get the Thai certificate signed i guess but don’t accept anything other than the official medical certificate signed in the U.K., a covering letter will not do ( in my case 8 years ago ).

I did the downgrade, side loaded a load of apps and then upgraded a couple of days afterwards, zero problems and very happy with the results, since January 9th. Short story: mid December. I saw on FB a guy advertising a rear view mirror that is a front and rear camera with 24 hour parking surveillance designed especially for the Seal.( search Sinjet on FB ). I fancied it and went to see him in BKK , he fit the cameras and also the BYD front camera which i had bought previously. Together in the deal was unlocking of the screen for sideloading apps but i wasn’t that clued up about this and forgot to ask him anyway so it didn’t get done. ( page 12 this thread ). Fast forward to Jan 9th. After some failed attempts to side load with others on this thread I returned to BKK and the guy downgraded, loaded whichever apps i wanted FOC and i upgraded a few days later. ( see page 21 this thread ). The OTA returned me back to the latest version as I had already done an OTA around end of Dec. Added YouTube, Google Maps, Waze, Brave browser, Google, YouTube music and GBox ( which allows other apps to be downloaded from within GBox ) also Lazada and FB and some others. Google Maps can now be used in portrait or landscape not available in Apple CarPlay and i also added the charging station overlay. Unlike the BYD browser which can only be used in gear P all apps can now be used on the go including YouTube and anything streamed from the Google or Brave browsers ( not that I would advocate watching videos with the car in motion ). I can strongly recommend the Sinjet guy ( as well as his rear/front camera setup ) particularly if you are in BKK, he also has a colleague working from Chiang Rai. If interested PM me and I will pass on his contact details.

Yuan + is Atto 3

Got a cash discount at Honda, MG and GWM. Toyota and BYD weren’t negotiating for cash, Toyota would “ sort something out “ if by paying by finance.

An EV sounding like a hoover ? Mine is totally silent. Only thing i can think of is the pedestrian warning sounds available on a BYD which can be silenced at the flick of a switch.

A Seal SUV in all but name, should fit in nicely here for those that prefer the Seal styling to the Atto but wanted a SUV. Should compete with the Deepal SUV recently released.

Toyota are going to really struggle selling this car with such low power figures ( 218 ps for dual motor ! ) low range and a higher price than the competition. Not to mention the ugly plastic wrapped around the wheels …… The Seal Premium at 1,399,000 beats it on power, range, price and looks. It is more on par with the Seal Dynamic for power and range but that comes in at 1,225,000. Unless Toyota plan is to drop the price by about half a million baht I don’t see them selling many.

Yup, i watched all S01 and loved it, it is an action/fantasy/sci fi/adventure and was right up my street. Not for everyone and I understand some won’t even entertain it but for me it was great. Based on a video game apparently.

Haven’t seen any of the issues mentioned in the link here in Thailand other than the paint adherence issue on front and rear bumper mentioned already on this forum. Thankfully i haven’t personally had any issue with my BYD and am very happy with the car. The BYD car i bought here is 40% more expensive in the U.K. and on a recent 3 week visit i only saw 1 BYD ( an Atto 3 ) despite having a dealership around 20 miles away. Tesla seemed the most prevalent EV in the area I was staying, with Polestar, MG and Ionic a close second. A lot of EV’s I didn’t instantly recognise such as Corsa, Jag, Peugeot, Kia etc but in the U.K. an EV has a green vertical stripe on the license plate for easy identification. Strangely, after spotting a couple of Tesla’s without the green stripe I learned ( thanks Google ) that the stripe is not mandatory and has to be asked for specifically on registration …… what’s that all about ?? This then became a game of “ spot the EV with no green stripe “, Tesla won that game for whatever reason.

I bought a similar replacement ( from fluorescent to LED ) and the instructions told me to remove only the starter and retain the ballast. Have changed around 5 and they all work fine. Flickering on start up used to drive me nuts !

Looks like a Neta V .

Keep posting, we’re getting an excellent evaluation of how your brain works and the level of your self confessed “ expertise “ .

Them ?? Is that Thai only or are you including Uzbekistan tourists in your ridiculous statement also ?

Good to have an expert on board !! In your “ expert opinion “ why would they be flying red flags at this particular beach then .

Your attitude could get people hurt or even killed. Kids: ” Dad, what do those red flags mean ? “ RP: ”how should i know, go on, get yourselves in the water then “

A light hearted way to get an important message across. As a child i loved these.

Or their secret desires, to be rich, to be handsome, to be trans etc

I tried this once but found it a real PITA !

Ridiculous !!

So this “ EV “ has a 1.5 litre Turbo internal combustion engine and up to 60 litres of fuel in a tank as well as the 40 kWh ternary battery ? But let’s forget that this wasn’t a full EV vehicle and label it together with all EV issues, meanwhile the cause of the accident was believed to be caused by technology also found in ICE vehicles. https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/Fatal-car-crash-mars-Huawei-s-efforts-to-break-into-EV-market#:~:text=On April 26%2C an Aito,who was in the car.
