But I know some 32A chargers do come in this design/shape. I have both, they look identical just thicker cables, one has a conventional Thai style (Schucko?) 16 amp plug and is configurable 6, 10, 13 & 16 amp, it has a 10m cable on it. I got this for traveling for hotels/motels and the like. The broken one has a 32 amp industrial blue plug and is switchable 10, 16, 24 or 32 amp, it is this one which has failed.

JBChiangRai Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Is the App "ChargerSync" That seems to let you adjust it and set maximum current by time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpeti73 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Hello Guys! 1. Anyone do the software downgrade for install sideload apps? If yes after that was easy to update back by OTA? 2. Someone here who disconnect the rear seat occupancy sensor? Thanks for the answers! Edited May 13 by dpeti73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes after that was easy to update back by OTA? 2. Someone here who disconnect the rear seat occupancy sensor? Thanks for the answers! 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew Dwyer Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 (edited) 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. Edited May 15 by Andrew Dwyer 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the official update from BYD just not delegated to Thailand yet, the guy who posted the video seems to get a lot of insider info from China. As an OTA it seems very small: As mentioned the 3 finger air con trick is superfluous. Wireless Apple CarPlay is handy. Vehicle location on the app is also handy. Presumably there’s some additional tweaks. Still no shortcut to seat memory although I guess OTA programmers are designing BYD updates rather than Seal specific. Personally I would like to see some sort of Sentry Mode application, so the 360° cameras can continue to record for a set period after the car is locked. My front and rear cameras record in this mode ( sensing motion ) but due to 12v battery worries use 1 FPS and for a max of 24 hours. All round recording would be great if even for a short period.

Do the retaining holes of the driver side floor mat fit and clip into place? in my case, the floor mat holes are too small and cant clip into the pins, so the mat constantly moves. 2. Do your cars make a 'farting noise' around 150km/h? I read this in a few forums on FB, so it seems to be pretty common. Cant believe in this day and age this could happen, although one guess is that the airflow is so maxed out to get to the cd 0.219, it probably takes next to nothing to lose the optimized air flow somewhere....... my guess is the leading edge of the roof glass. 3. Do you follow the charging instructions per manual? always to 100%? and 10 to 100% every couple months? Because I charge from solar, I prefer to charge just for a few hours every day, but maybe that is not ideal......... Floor mat saga continues: I finally got around to visit the dealer to check on my driver's side floor mat holes not fitting (not snapping into the plastic retaining pins). I went through cars in their showroom, one Seal and several Atto 3s - they all had the exact same problem: The holes in the carpet did not snap into the plastic pins, the holes are too small or the pins too fat. I checked some demo cars, all had the same problem. A tech was told to check my complaint, he was surprised by my problem (as in what is wrong with me!) of course could not fix it, shrugged his shoulders, and for him this problem was solved...... gawd I love these kind of staff! Apart from realizing this is a mind blowing FUBAR, as it seems to me all BYD cars delivered to Thailand are afflicted with this fitment problem - it is a safety issue! I am just waiting for the first fatal crash stemming from a carpet blocking the brake pedal and a pedestrian or motorcycle driver getting killed........ https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-lexus-consumer-safety-advisory-potential-floor-mat-interference-with-accelerator-pedal/ Does BYD scan these boards? BYD was the 9th largest car producer in 2023, time to step up to the plate to play like the big boy...........that probably starts with denial that they have floor mats in their cars 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the mats have a steel ring whereas on mine it is rubber ! I believe you got yours earlier than mine ? mine was delivered Nov 30th.

I was going to reply to explain my silence on this subject. As soon as I got the car, I ordered floor mats from Lazada which I fitted over the mats that came with the car. I'm sorry, but I would not be happy to remove them and inspect underneath. Knowing me, something would go horribly wrong. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 @mistral53 I had a closer look at mine as it appears your pin is tapered and i assume mine is concave. Well my pins are the same as yours: But the mats underneath have the locking part : So your mats appear to be the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my sales lady your video, not holding my breath that anything will come out of it, but I am open to be dazzled. While it is true that I got one of the earliest cars, as I said above, all the floor mats on the cars they have in their showroom are the same as mine - and some of the Atto's (if not all) she pointed out were 2024 new models. I already caved in and ordered a set of mats on Shopee, keeping my fingers crossed that the retaining pins will 'click' into place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
