    Did anyone notice exterior lights not coming on when opening car with remote. Came on before update but noticed tonight did not. Follow me home on 20 secs on screen. Am I missing something in settings?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,492 ✭✭✭✭dodzy


    If lights are set to zero/OFF, that’ll cause it. Set stalk to AUTO and test. 👍



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58 ✭✭BrianOgre


    thanks dodzy. I thought I checked and was set to auto but was actually off. Cheers 👍

    So Google Maps on Android Auto is mostly fine, it seems to handle bad input from the car's GPS module way better than the alternatives and uses the phone's GPS and network to compensate (mix of all sensor data to determine the location). It's the Waze app that most frequently loses track of where I am, and the built-in navigation software is the same. Have you tried those as well, or just Google Maps on Android Auto?

    Received the 2511 update now as well here, did a soft reset after and will see how the GPS holds up. I really hope it's fixed, kind of miss using Waze.

    No I have just used Android and Google maps, car is now over 2 years old so lost data allowance which screws up built in navigation software. My app now shows up correct location though which possibly points to cars gps working correctly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭rdewit83


    Good point about the built-in navigation software, forgot you mentioned that. Okay, fingers crossed it's fine on my end as well now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭rdewit83


    Gave the built-in navigation a try up and down to Laragh today, GPS position was perfect now for me (after install 2511 & doing the soft reset again). Will keep an eye on it for the next while, but I hope this is fixed now. I do see other people reporting issues with the GPS position after updating to 2511 on Reddit and Discord, so not sure what's causing this really.

    I kind of like the new HUD layout, less obnoxious. As it's now just the 1 line and smaller, it would be nice to start showing navigation information on there as there's more room to work with.

    I do like the instrument cluster layout. I don't need fancy animations and all that while driving, but just the current layout used in our Seal's instrument cluster is just all over the place and badly aligned in some areas. The simple layout option doesn't really fix that, having perhaps another layout to choose from that looks like this would be fantastic.

    did the update, no problems with gps but did find losing the saved seats slightly inconvenient. Personally didn’t need the third seat setting but this may suit people



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,492 ✭✭✭✭dodzy


    Was it always the way that radio stations are erased on update? I just cannot recall if that was the case before. That being said, this update has resulted with me finally looking at DAB and honestly, I much prefer the channel options here (added bonus of all 80s & 90s music) and as a result, I have all I need FAV tabbed and this along with Spotify is where I see myself going forward.

    The new atto3 in Europe is coming with the "sentry mode" how long will it take until is deployed for the rest of the models?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭rdewit83


    Celebrated too early, GPS location is still broken on the car after the update to 2511. Did a short drive today and it was off by about 100 meters soon enough. You'll notice it when using Waze on Google Maps or just the built in navigation software, Google Maps seems to have decent multi sensor correction but was messing up at some point.

    Weird stuff, yesterday it was perfect on multiple trips. Right, pinged the dealer a message there and hopefully they can get BYD to pull their finger out and fix it. Software is really hard apparently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,742 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    There's no way to reset the TPMS is there?

    Having an issue with one tyre consistently reporting less pressure even instantly after I pump it up. I'm convinced it's software so went looking for TPMS reset or calibration and there's none?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭EFX


    I had this pumped to a little more than stated drove and it cured itself, put the same in each side though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,492 ✭✭✭✭dodzy




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,742 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    Turns out I was wrong.

    Nail in the tyre. Slow puncture.

    in relation to the problem with remote setting heating, seat heat etc through the app, someone from another forum posted this:

    ———————————————————————————-

    Discovered if you tap Settings > System > Cellular Data (the words not the toggle) six or seven times in quick succession it lets you fiddle around with the SIM card settings, a few guys in the Philippines reported success by playing in there. Didn't help matters for me though.

    In the end in complete frustration I deleted the app off my phone & hit 'factory reset' on the car.

    Once everything came back up & I'd reset everything as I wanted, problem gone. Remote controls all operate as they used to now.

    It's very hard to tell whether at any given point it's trying to do things via Bluetooth, WiFi or SIM card!

    I find remote settings work fine. It’s just the seats that deactivate. Cannot see that being SIM related. I too did a factory reset a while back…..and inadvertently wiped all my sideloaded apps with no ability now to reinstall



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    I am finding the app very flaky since the last update. Mostly the seat heating is off when you get into the car even though showing activated on the app. Also quite often get situation where app not working just get egg timer when you press steering wheel heating etc., get message then to the effect message hasn't reached car. I have done factory reset and uninstalled app several times to no effect. Its very frustrating!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    That was unluck ykkw.bttr especially as you only have the car a few weeks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,492 ✭✭✭✭dodzy


    With the heat seating, once on, drag down the screen to refresh, and it will likely show that it is off. Repeat this procedure a few times until a refresh shows that it is on. I find that turning on HS after the heater and steering wheel gives you a better chance. Still poor though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    Turn on heating then SHW then SH and after that keep getting operation result returned from vehicle not received try again. Wont do anything after that. Cant even lock it Have to turn off car to reset



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Try extending the house WiFi, a good first start is to turn off auto channel and pick a channel say channel 11 as an example. Stops interference. Your best bet is to ensure the car has good connection. WiFi would be the gold standard



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,492 ✭✭✭✭dodzy


    The APP / SW team are really piss-poor. Shame really as the car is great.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    Totally agree Dodzy. A fantastic car spoiled by stupid software niggles that could easily be sorted



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    I am on Virgin Media Wifi Listermint how would I change the wifi channel?

    Should be able to login to the router

    http://192.168.0.1

    By putting in this IP address. Go to the WiFi settings and switch from Auto channel to something like 11. Different wireless devices etc can cause interference and shorten range and or quality of the routers signal.
