Unlocking Application Install in BYD

[@jordanzinger3066]

@Effendyhu ​​⁠hello again :) i was wondering two things is it possible to open the boot without turning the car off and how does the passenger lock the car from inside, without leaning over to driver’s side to lock it?

[@Effendyhu]

There is a boot opening button on the driver door next to the three strings. To lock the car, I haven't found an effective way to do this apart from using the app. The voice command doesn't work yet for locking the car

Hi I just leased my Atto 3 from today 2024-03-07, can I still install apps in the way you show in this video? I live in sweden. thanks

[@Effendyhu]

if you don't have the latest 1.7 firmware, your should be able to. Just follow the instruction and the car should prompt you with the password

[@baquzza]

@@Effendyhu i just saw that I have the 1.7 firmwire, so I guess there is no way to install apps now :(

[@Effendyhu]

@@baquzza unless you are willing to downgrade the firmware to 1.6, I have made a posy for that in another video

[@ferraltech]

Hi @Effendyhu, I see you had the Hema maps app available for download in the video. Did you install it and if so, did it work with the screen in portrait orientation?

[@Effendyhu]

I didn't use Hema map, I'm using waze

[@ferraltech]

No problem if you didn't install it. We are specifically interested in any 4wd off roading apps that will benefit operating in portrait. Thanks for the quick response :)

[@Effendyhu]

@ferraltech I could try to install it and let you know if you like

[@ferraltech]

@@Effendyhu It would be much appreciated if you could give it a try thanks

Would we lose our car Warranty if we install third party apps??? I did the downgrade to the previous official BYD firmate update, installed All apps I wanted, and updates to latest OTA update. Everything os fine, however Today I went to BYD Málaga,Spain, and the seller made me think about this issue, ... nevertheless, I think amy engine issue, car parts issue etc should have a different Warranty, and infotainment another One . If your Seat, belt or a windows does not work properly, Warranty should cover those kind of issues independently if you installed third party apps or not... What do you think ?

[@Effendyhu]

I think this is a gray area, technically you shouldn't lose the car warranty, as the infotainment portion have very little to do with the mechanics of the car and there are separate firmware that operates all the car electronics which are untouchable from the user.

[@reestructuras]

Does it work with the version imported directly from China?

[@Effendyhu]

Not sure, I would imagine so, but might be different password

[@wspimenta]

Please. Can anyone tell me how to unlock the central so I can install Aurora Store or gbox because my Central was in version 2312 and I can't do anything. I put the pen drive in and it doesn't do anything. Can someone help me.

[@Effendyhu]

you might be on v1.7 of the firmware. if you are desperate, you might have to downgrade the firmware, but do this at your own risk. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pauxkqqhebuaedEsi=fqbhoDsOCY03oE2U

[@armstrongfam3594]

Which version of App Manager are you using? I have tried 6.4 and cant get it to work. Also I cant get Aurora to work either I have tried Version 4.2.3 and other versions. I can install it on the BYD Seal but when I open it and go through the settings I can't grant all permissions. The permission to allow install, when I click on it, I just get booted back to the BYD home page. I have also installed the package unlocker from your share folder. Cheers

I have it install on Atto 3, not quite sure about the seal

[@yome1562]

Is this a good idea? Are we risking to create incompatibilities, interference, crashes in the system?

[@Effendyhu]

This is no longer possible after the latest update. Just for your info, the edutainment system is separate to the car control, so adding app to the system is no riskier than downloading app from the Android app store. Providing you are installing legitimate app.

[@joliescheng8312]

Thanks! I plugged in my USB but no password asked and I copied the USB file to local files successfully. I tried to open the file and the warning popped up😢. Can you advise?

[@Effendyhu]

you need to put the file inside a directory called "third party apps" (need to be exact case, no quotes) in the USB drive before plugging it in.

[@bobimpey5620]

But how did you get to the password login? You jumped from the system not allowing third party apps to the login screen....how was that done?

[@Effendyhu]

The password login pops up if you have firmware lower than 1.7 and you put the apk files inside a usb stick with the right folder name

[@sisaykelka1152]

Where did you get the password? Is it the same one I created for the phone app, or did you receive it from BYD when you bought the car?

[@Effendyhu]

@@sisaykelka1152 no the password depends on the version of your firmware. Your firmware have to be lower than version 1.7, because after 1.7 this function no longer available
