Key Highlights Across the Latest OTA Builds

1. Three-Finger Swipe Climate Control Gestures (Anywhere, Even Inside Full-Screen CarPlay / Android Auto!):
   • 3 fingers swipe UP / DOWN anywhere on the screen: Adjusts cabin temperature (±1°C).
   • 3 fingers swipe LEFT / RIGHT: Adjusts AC fan speed (1 to 7).
   • No more exiting Apple CarPlay or Google Maps just to turn the fan down!
2. Wireless Apple CarPlay & Wireless Android Auto Stability Fix:
   • Updated the 5GHz Wi-Fi Direct channel handshake so CarPlay no longer drops out near toll gantries or high-interference CBD intersections.
3. Smoother ICC / Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) Calibration:
   • Dramatically reduced the aggressive steering tug and warning chimes on narrow country lanes without centre white lines (huge improvement for UK B-roads and Aussie backroads!).
4. ** swipe-Down Quick Bar Customisation:**
   • You can now drag-and-drop tiles in the top pull-down tray to put SLIF (Speed Limit Chime Off), ELKA Off, and Battery Pre-heating right under your thumb.

The 3-finger swipe up/down for temperature and left/right for fan speed while inside full-screen Apple CarPlay is hands-down the best UI update BYD has pushed. Once you get the muscle memory, you can adjust the AC without even looking at the screen.
