BYD Dolphin Infotainment Guide 2024

[@wasbikebloke9846]

Excellent and very useful video. The see-through view enables you to check under your car and see if you've pulled into a disabled or parent and child space. This is a useful feature. In other countries they have an app to enable the 360 camera to act as a dash cam. this would be so useful here and could lower insurance premiums. I really hope they'll bring this feature to UK specced cars. Also wish we had seat ventilation in the UK. I had this on a previous Niro and found it excellent in the summer.

The dash cam feature sounds really useful!

[@CBGX]

You need to have a hardware camera at the front for that. There is a video that shows how to put it! Check it out... I might be getting it if I have some time

[@kevindgillam]

Really useful video Alex, thanks😉

[@theinterfacecars]

Thanks Kevin!

[@missozzie72]

Thank you. Very useful. After the recent software update I am able to connect my iPhone 12 with bluetooth and charge wireless. Excellent feature. A bit tricky tho. My constant problem is that CarPlay is in dark mode and will not change according to daylight/night. Very annoying, specially when using Waze during daytime and wearing sunglasses.... will try some of the tricks here, I didn't know about the drop down meny.

[@theinterfacecars]

Great 👍

[@missozzie72]

@@theinterfacecars I still can’t get out of the dark mode on any map via carplay. Any ideas? And using the wireless charger only over heat the iphone, disconnecting everything. It’s so obvious an adroid car 😹😢

​@@missozzie72 This might help - Open Settings in CarPlay using your vehicle’s built-in controls. Select Appearance. Select Always Dark or Light

[@mlgneo2855]

Can you use that Bluetooth connection to do CarPlay? Or are you wired?

[@missozzie72]

@@theinterfacecars That actually worked. But it's a bit of annoyance to make the change while driving, but then again, might just be a learning period.

[@FaisalAlrashed-mk9wd]

can you change the turning signal cuz i didnt mean to skip the video cuz i wanna see if it changes it

[@marquisdaily7715]

The navigation would not give you the charging stops? This feature is so useful, it is hard to believe BYD does not have it

[@theinterfacecars]

Yeah it was a bit odd, hopefully that add support, or even better EV Routing on Apple Maps would be good too. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks mate, 25kWh /100km, mine is at 14.2. A demo car gets thrashed !

[@theinterfacecars]

Hey, thanks for commenting - I think you missed the units on the screen. The car showed 25kWh/100miles which is 4.0mi/kWh or the same as 15.53kWh/100km. 14.2kWh/100km from your car is the same as 4.38mi/kWh

I have a dolphin in Australia. I am having trouble connecting the wireless CarPlay that was added in the last update. I might need to reboot the infotainment system - so I have read. Anyone know how to do that?

[@issiewizzie]

great work I was thinking with all the cameras on the car imagine if you record to an SD card .... hopefully, there might be a third-party add-on

[@theinterfacecars]

Thanks for watching, yes that would be an amazing feature! 👍

[@catherinegrimes2308]

@@theinterfacecars You can get a dashcam with a cable for it and you may be able to stored the video to an SD card. There are some videos about installing the camera and they may give information about saving the videos to an SD card.

Hey mate, how to make radio locally? its playing chinese always

[@johniooi3954]

What version software is this running?

[@theinterfacecars]

Hey, I only had the car for one week - not overly sure what version it is running, sorry.

[@SSam-o5w]

Hi If I have a warning message : "EV power limited " It Makes the car so slowly Why this happened

[@theinterfacecars]

Hello, sounds like the Dolphin might not have enough charge in its batteries, or something has gone wrong with the motor. I would advise taking it to your nearest BYD dealer. Thanks

[@roykouyoumjian1]

How can i convert from chinese to english

[@mahmoudmeneassy6868]

hello, i connected my iphone 12 using usb a to iphone charger and nothing happened

[@theinterfacecars]

Hey, thanks for watching - Did you use the USB-C to USB-A adapter as mentioned in the video?

[@mahmoudmeneassy6868]

@@theinterfacecars could you pls send a link to what it looks like?

[@mahmoudmeneassy6868]

thank u so much, I think also the car needs a software update which i rly cant do cuz it tells me its checking its current format then nothing happens

[@theinterfacecars]

@@mahmoudmeneassy6868 I have uploaded a video on how to use the adapter if you are still interested! If you are still having problems with connecting your phone I would recommend contacting your local BYD dealer and they should be able to assist 🙂

[@delinecladellet]

Why can't I play video during drive mode? Does anyone have any solution for this?

[@theinterfacecars]

BYD haven't enabled this feature as it isn't safe. No car manufacturers that I know of are allowed to do this.
