I got some free charging at my local PEA office today, only 25 kw but don’t knock a freebie !! plus they came and fixed my breaker dropping out ( dodgy breaker ) issue.

Okay, well some might be wondering what is different after this update, well from what i see is. Synthetic sounds now can be turned on and off ( see photos in my post a few posts back ) There is a built in manual !! A store with karaoke and a browser with legitimate access to Google and YouTube etc !! look familiar ? and my navigation now has audio !! Oh, and daytime driving lights can be turned off , for those camping, drive in movie fans or any other obscure reason. Winner winner chicken dinner 😃

Well, it appears OTA updates are being handed out to even those unworthy !! 52 minutes apparently. Hope you are getting yours @macahoom @Bandersnatch Cannot wait to delete the karaoke before the wife sees it !! EDIT: apparently you cannot charge and update at the same time.

Did open up vehicle control page by clicking here ? should then see this This is my software version, but as it is currently downloading an update maybe it will all change ?

So, today while driving i noticed the red dot 🔴 and clicking on it gave me this: Now at 22% . I didn’t authorise this or anything it just started, maybe i will have to authorise to upload ? This is a first !

I was there ! Nearly didn’t take a look as I thought it was just one of those Ian and Chris chats. You did good 👍

Anyone wishing to risk buying a used Seal Premium then this sounds like a good buy.

I am not sure that is correct, I posted shortly after getting my Seal that they have added another button ( AVAS ) which is on the “swipe down from the top page “ and acts like a master switch. If you are not aware of this then, yes , it doesn’t appear you can actuate the sounds anymore and can only change from Standard to Brand for the indicator sounds ( maybe other sounds also ). That is how mine is currently, the new update might be different but I suspect that they haven’t seen the AVAS button. See my post Nov 30th, halfway down page 9.

Well judging by the different numbers on the Thai guy’s updated software detail to mine there’s some new stuff coming thick and fast, which is good to see. ( I don’t have the daytime driving light switch, the BYD store or the karaoke, not that I am interested tbh ) Mine Today’s update:

Seen a few posts on FB about an OTA update taking around an hour, so those who are due might not have to wait for long. Apparently this is what is in the update:

Are you sure the health insurance premium is only 5000 baht ? I paid more than that in 2020 ( with the largest deductible) and it would be 5 x that if i had not bailed to an O visa last year.

So, some feedback from my Sinjet cameras, will attempt to upload some videos for you to see for yourself the resolution between Sinjet and the BYD Dash cam. The Sinjet videos (5 mins) are around 240mb and the BYD videos (5 mins) are around 175mb, Sinjet only has video lengths of 30 sec, 1 min and 5 mins, while BYD has 1,3 and 5 min options, i would prefer 3 mins but c'est la vie. NOTE: BYD files are mp4, Sinjet files are .TS format, while they will play on my laptop i had to convert to mp4 to download here. The time lapse video on Sinjet records a video only when it senses movement, front and back, as the frame size is 1 frame per second you end up with a 5 minute video covering 2 hours, but it appears to work well. The window film guy put those pieces of paper to avoid using the windows during the 7 day period, why he put them on the windscreen and the glass roof also is anybody's guess ! BYD Front: 2023-12-11-13-03-21.mp4 Sinjet Front: ( there is sound i promise you, it was set at low volume with medium and high above that ) V20231211-133217F.mp4 Sinjet Rear: V20231211-130717R.mp4 SinJet time lapse rear: (skip forward to 50 seconds cat lovers ) V20231212-004233R.mp4 Conclusion: Resolution is okay on both, not as good as a 70Mai or similar but okay. The speed and accelerating/braking symbols on the BYD dash cam is a definite advantage but the lack of audio an oversight. Sinjet rear view streaming a good tool but have found it a little distracting especially on the highway but not so much in town, currently set to turn off screen after 1 min (or 3 mins ) a simple tap on the mirror brings it to life. It is installed and done and like insurance i hope i never need to use it but am certain if required will provide good proof of guilt.

Although am only trying it in the garden, so maybe it wants to wait until i am actually moving ? Who knows ? There are some anomalies on the voice commands, maybe based on Atto 3 commands listas i tend to get this suggestion frequently: and who goes to libraries nowadays ?

I got “ I cannot help you with that yet “

Yeah, it’s just a formality, doesn’t prove anything really, annoying though because now just waiting for the phone call and another visit to the Immigration Office. Luckily it is close, although I have heard they sometimes do the “ visit “ on a video call if its a long way.

Usual stuff, photos of me holding my passport and in front of the house number. The little lady signs something to say I live here and off they go. Usually a couple of IO’s , last time was one IO and a trainee taking the photos. Can’t really blame them, they are only doing what they’re ordered to do, it’s some idiot brass sat behind a desk trying to justify his existence to his boss who in turn is…….. etc etc.

They get a glass of cold water and a blank expression, not enough to be inhospitable but just enough to let them know that I don’t like them visiting me and would be happier if they f***ed off as soon as possible.

Nope, been a model inmate 😊

I have no audio on my BYD navigation, its not muted at the scroll button in central panel, on the navigation screen itself i have around 1/2 volume and on the audio tab i have: i get all the relative beeps from sensors, BYD lady talks to me and music plays from my phone via Apple CarPlay but navigation is silent. Any thoughts gentlemen ??

well i met the Bangkok guys halfway, but it was only 50 km each !

So it would appear I am victim of the immigration office making up their own rules. Forgot to mention that i had a random home visit around 6 months ago !!, so that will make 3 in 13 months !!

yes, mine was quick also, under an hour …. if you don’t count the almost 1 month under consideration !!

Yes, a number of posters were surprised to see my “under consideration for retirement extension “ stamp when I posted it last year ……. now i’m surprised to see I’ve got another one. The agents seem to get treated like royalty at my io but that could be fuelled by financial gain !

“ sorry, we not have “ was the answer.
