New features#
New setting to limit the charging current during AC charging#
After the OTA update the charging power can be controlled via the AC charging current limit setting (in amperes). The screenshot shows the setting under Energy > Charging and Discharging with the selectable values 6, 8, 10 and 16 A.
Option added to deactivate Child Presence Detection (CPD) for 28 days#
Child Presence Detection (CPD) can now be deactivated for a period of 28 days. The bulletin lists this as a heading only and gives no further details or menu path.
Navigation display in the head-up display (HUD) for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto added (only for vehicles with head-up display)#
Before: the head-up display (HUD) only supported showing the built-in vehicle navigation.
New: navigation from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can now also be shown in the head-up display. Only available on vehicles equipped with a head-up display.
Optimisations#
Optimisation of the system UI display and text messages#
The page consists of a heading and a screenshot of the revised home screen (navigation shortcuts Home/Work, media card with FM 87.5 MHz, Bluetooth card and tyre-pressure card on the desktop). No textual details are given.
Optimisation of Child Presence Detection (CPD)#
The switches for Child Presence Detection (CPD) and interior motion detection were optimised.
Optimisation of the switching logic of the corner radar function#
The logic for activating and deactivating the corner radar function was revised.
Before OTA: the setting was reset after every vehicle power cycle and was deactivated at vehicle start.
After OTA: the function is activated automatically when the vehicle is switched on.
Optimisation of the usability of the map view#
The page consists of a heading and a screenshot of the map view; the bulletin gives no textual details of what changed.
Optimisation of the operating logic of the driver monitoring system (DMS)#
Distraction detection now distinguishes between driving-related and non-driving-related activities. During driving-related activities (e.g. looking in the mirrors or at the instrument cluster) no warning is issued; other distracting behaviour still triggers a warning.
The warning issued on detection of moderate fatigue was removed.
What we have not verified#
- This is a translation of BYD Austria’s bulletin, not a test: we have not installed V1.3.0 on a Atto 3 EVO.
- The bulletin was published by BYD’s Austrian importer. The release itself is the European one, but roll-out dates are given for Austria, and a few items are country-specific (radio services, interface languages, legal notes).
- Availability of individual features can depend on trim, model year and the head-unit hardware.
