It’s not POTY without Geronimo and his witty narration. But just in case it is i vote: 3) Yinn 2) Yinn 1) Yinn and I didn’t even like her/him !

Assuming the free install will include some basic electrical items and if you want them to install some quality items that comes at a premium price. Here’s an invoice from someone installing a 2nd circuit ( for TOU meter ) and requesting Schneider items . Don’t know if those prices are reasonable or not, but notice the price for additional cable ( above 15m ) is 300 baht per meter for TOU .

All the Light we cannot See ( 2023 mini series ) Starring Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie: de ” Marie-Laure lives in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where her father works. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, Werner Pfennig, an orphan, grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find that brings them news and stories from places they have never seen or imagined. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments and is enlisted to use his talent to track down the resistance. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. “ imdb https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15320362/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Available on Netflix or stream on fmovies .

Let us know how that works out for you, as per @Bandersnatch’s video the sun shade is quite see through, to block out more you could always slip a piece of foil coated foam between the shade and the glass …… to be sure, to be sure ! as my old grandad would say.

Okay thanks

Did you have it hard wired ?

Changan going all in in Thailand building its first plant in Rayong . From what I have seen briefly their cars look very good, especially the Deepal SL03 and S7. Should be interesting to see the motor show in Bangkok ( Nov 30 to Dec 11 ). Anyone going ?

i’ll be honest, when I posted that I thought it was for the preceding month, turns out it was over a month afterwards. Not sure when October figures are due, they just pop up on my fb page.

If you go only TOU meter it might not be as economical as you think. NOTE: this is only a temporary price drop, better to wait and see what happens next year before committing to only TOU meter.

huge selection of photos 👍

Apparently in the U.K. the Atto 3 didn’t come with the dash cam camera or even the cable, but once diy cable and camera are fit the software can be enabled and used as normal, very strange and agree must be some legal reasons. Here is a diy video on fitting the camera and cable to an Atto 3 in the U.K., it does give a clearer view on removing the cameras plastic cover.

Thanks for that, on the videos I have seen the cover plate is fully removed and that small “ key “ piece is removed to enable this. None of the videos, I have seen show the key piece being removed only snapped back into place so presumably it’s difficult to remove and videoing is paused while they struggle with it. But , well done.

I think it is connected to the pedestrian warning sounds at less than 30km. If you have changed that sound ( from ice cream van to spaceship 😊 ) that could be the reason.

I bought 2 sets of the large BYD badge and will definitely put on front and back, the other 2 ( small BYD and SEAL ) i will probably test with Plasti Dip , if happy with the results maybe do Plasti Dip on the front and back large BYD also. That only leaves chrome ( colour ) on the wheels which I would like to delete also.

Any Seal owners thinking about de-badging or de-chroming ? As we have lost the Build Your Dreams logo I am guessing few will consider de-badging now but I have seen a few changing the chrome badges to black ( or gold on one occasion 🙄 ). Personally with such a small amount of chrome on the car, badges and wheels, i think changing to black colour makes perfect sense. For the badges plastic covers are available but not for all the lettering ( only larger BYD, 3.8s and AWD ) and make the lettering decidedly chunky !! Stickers are available to cover the silver colour on the wheels but I honestly can’t see them lasting. So am considering Plasti Dip, seems like a simple DIY option and preferable to remove/paint and refit imho. Whether Plasti Dip would work on the wheels I am not sure due to the material. Any thoughts ??

I figured that this would be a “one time use “ type of deal so went cheap although I did “ splash out “ by buying 2 for 12 baht instead of 1 for 9 baht !! Doubt if I will be diying any additional dash cams though, airbags in the A pillars have scared me off.

Thanks, seen that video before and watching it the second time it seems like it is not as difficult to fit as I first thought.

How much is the “ fitting the sun shade “ video ?

Would be interesting to find out how much the supplied sun shade reduces the temperature and whether a foil backed layer in between reduced it significantly. ( not fitted just held up there ) If only we knew someone with a temp laser thingy 🤔 Haven’t seen the sun shade in position completely with all its clips etc but it does look very good. One thing is for sure the sun shade isn’t a temporary measure, once its up i would imagine its staying up .

yes, film on the Seal will be paramount with that huge glass roof unless you go for putting the sun shade up there. I offered the sun shade up to the light and it seems quite see through , kind of like the shade on my MG yet the shade on my Jolion is quite opaque and does a good job. Personally I will try to find a good film for the glass roof as it is a beautiful feature and a shame to cover it up although like the sunroof in my last two cars once the novelty had worn off they remained covered up and forgotten. In two minds about the glass roof of the Seal , it’s a beautiful part of the car but quite possibly will be covered. Looking through the FB groups to see if any recommendations for film pop up.

As a ( SALT ) Grammar School dropout i will probably have to be “ in “ the car for it to work 😞

I was going to suggest that, fear of being laughed at stopped me 😃, seen a few videos with people unlocking their cars from great distances with the remote under their chin .

starting without unlocking is a great feature, what’s the max distance though ?

The app, imo, is only useful to start the car/air con remotely for cooling purposes or, as I believe was reported on this forum, to start the car occasionally when you are away for a few weeks. But the Seal and Atto 3 do have remote starting from the remote control ( 10m on Atto and 15m on Seal ) limited on distance but very useful in some circumstances. Anyone like to test the distance ?
