    Yeah. I was told I was on 1.12 when I checked before I upgraded. Then I got told that 1.12 was successfully applied.

    Eco mode definitely far zipper when you floor it.

    I tried checking all the software modules using car scanner software and couldn't spot any differences since upgrading as well so must not be a major OTA, hope it fixed my navigation audio and AWD. Have still to drive it since upgrade

    I took the plunge to 2403 - someone had to!

    Easy upgrade, no issues, took about 25 mins, sideloaded apps remain intact.

    Wireless CarPlay now available, tested and working (although I use Android for my personal device I have a work iphone)

    I don't see any location services in the app although other users did report them, might be still geo restricted.

    BYD App store available.

    Android Auto music track showing on driver screen (I don't recall seeing this before).

    Remote Lock/Unlock now a toggle in the car but still not available in the app.

    Won't get a chance to test drive until tomorrow.

    Strangely the app thinks my doors are unlocked - might resolve itself but I can live with that.

    Mine is still showing 4.52.30 weird, when I got the car I had to upgrade the software myself, wonder was there a pre req or something needed before that upgrade which could be causing my issues with navigation audio and the Dyna not upgrading. The navigation seems to be missing a line of code to open a speech path as I noticed when I have given google assistant a command and waiting for it to reply, I will get an audible navigation command if one occurs during the time period google assistant is active

    Hope that's not your sat nav destination in the second pic 🙂

    Have tried a system rest, press the button down on the right of the driver selector and hold this down, it will restart the system, or you could use the factory reset it won’t roll back your version I have found but might cure the audio.

    I’ve upgrade to 2403 as well mainly for wireless CarPlay which is working fine now.


    The speed warning is also no longer an issue and barely audible.

    It doesn't beep the second you go over the limit it takes a few seconds and when it does it’s barely noticeable. I had to turn my volume down to even hear it.

    I used turn it off on every journey but will be leaving it on now.

    I can confirm that after doing the software update there is still no navigation audio



  • Registered Users Posts: 110 ✭✭DEFIE


    Anything Negative/Bugs with the 2403 update. Planning to give it a go later



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    I haven't found any issues anyway. Only improvements.

    I had a door unlocked warning for an hour afterwards but that has resolved itself now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    This is really confusing since mine works perfectly.

    What's the difference between our cars I wonder...



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,159 ✭✭✭RainInSummer


    Yeah my nav audio is non existent too. Doesn't make a difference if it's Android Auto from my phone or the native nav app.



  • Registered Users Posts: 80 ✭✭Sealman


    Interesting that nav audio working on some cars and not others even though they have the same software



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,964 ✭✭✭dodzy


    Don’t use it myself but I’m assuming this is not the reason ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 80 ✭✭Sealman


    No mine is turned up to full and have done a system reset, made no difference



  • Registered Users Posts: 110 ✭✭DEFIE


    taking the plunge with 2403. 🙄

    The no nav audio is common from Reddit and other forum posts. Haven't found a fix yet though



  • Registered Users Posts: 110 ✭✭DEFIE


    looks like a nice few extra bits in 2403. Very happy so far.

    Gesture control for A/C temp and fan speed. 3 finger horizontal and vertical swipes on the screen bring up adjustments

    Front emergency braking stays off when selected. I can use roundabouts properly again

    TSR is now perfect. Displays flashing symbol no sound can now be left on all the time

    Alternative Frequency function added to the radio. May improve the (Shite) reception -not tested this yet

    Wireless CarPlay

    Web browser

    Car location visible in the app

    Electronic manual app added but it does not appear to be available yet for IE

    Changes in the UI CPD has its own tab and is called something else and the panorama camera is named differently too

    Happy out 😁



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    Where is the vehicle location in the app?

    I don't think that's working for me on 2403, unless I've missed something.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    My mistake. Seems I just needed to update settings in the app. Working now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 110 ✭✭DEFIE


    I think that setting is in the app not the car. Pushing enable brings you there



  • Registered Users Posts: 137 ✭✭Greengrass53


    General question here. I have owned an id3 for last 3 years. No complaints whatsoever. Hasn't cost me a cent apart from changing tyres. Looking for a bit more range, should I go for id4 77kw or one of the BYD range. Sorry I can't be more specific but not au fait with BYD cars. Thank you.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,159 ✭✭✭RainInSummer


    Not sure what range any of the id's bring but for reference I'm getting about 475km in the AWD flavour in this weather on 80/100km/h roads with the odd bit of weeeeee style driving thrown in.

    In winter that was 400km on similar roads with a tiny bit of motorway thrown in.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,610 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    It's in the car and the app but I had already enabled it in the car (which I remember from my pics in yesterday's post), thanks.

    My wife has an id4.

    Nice car, obviously much bigger on the inside.

    Software is appalling in my view. Very poor UI/UX.

    Range is inferior to the Seal, and it's just nowhere as nice to drive IMHO.
