BYD App: All Things Remote for the Atto 3, Episode 57

[@millsy3224]

Maybe it's only with Android but there's a More Settings tab on the airconditioning page where the run time can be increased in 5 minute increments up to 30 mins, can also set air to recirc or fresh.

Cool thank you for the info!

I was able to use the app to switch on my car's air con (in Adelaide) from the USA. 🙂

What the hell for??😂

@@bydatto39461 why not try it out? But also realised I left it with a bit too much charge. Recommended to have SoC between 40-60% if storing for a long time.

Mybe turning the car on would initiate the 12v battery charge? I actually unlocked the car and turned it on for my wife to drive it home after I forgot to leave the key.

the latest update we got here in Malaysia is the ability to locate the car..

[@renbangbprd7236]

[@5m4llk1ng]

@@renbangbprd7236 I think it works just like how you can remotely start the car through the apps. But yes it is real.

[@donkixoths1]

I have my Atto 3 since July 5th and still they didn’t activate my SIM card so I can’t use the app and it asking my for QR code but no QR code on my screen to scan it and add the car to the app! I contact with my seller and it said that BYD factory have to activate my mail that is connected to the car but still nothing…! Any idea what else i can do?

[@bydatto39461]

I would contact your service dept for some assistance

[@saggy65]

Can you also add the nfc card to apple wallet? I think that is something available in the EU

[@bydatto39461]

I have a Samsung Phone, and have no idea how Apple Software works. I never use the nfc card in any case, I prefer to use the key fob. If anyone reading this knows, please feel free to comment

[@tb146]

just wonder you car still can access the internet without tethering ? i just activated the application with special BYD Sim Card. I cannot access the internet using the Head Unit without tethering to my mobile phone, means the Car SIMCard just for BYD Application

[@bydatto39461]

I'm sorry I don't know, I never use the tablet for anything more than navigation with WAZE, and occasionally the radio!

[@kenlee5461]

I have an Atto 3. Currently the car has a Telstra SIM car. What are BYD owners doing when the plan expires? Can the plan be renewed?

[@bydatto39461]

As far as I am aware, for the life of the car here in Australia, but if anyone knows different, I'm happy to be corrected.

@@bydatto39461 I was told that the SIM Plan only lasted 2 years

Actually, it's possible to set temperature, on time ans scheduling of AC (only to a maximum of 24 hours in advance) if one touches the "A/C" instead of the "On" button.
