DiLink OS OTA Update Changelog, 3-Finger HVAC Gesture & Wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Tips

@LachlanThomas The 3-finger swipe inside full-screen Apple CarPlay is a lifesaver—no need to exit Google Maps or Waze just to drop the AC by 1 degree!

@TechGuru_OBD Another neat trick: saying "Hi BYD, clear window" or "I'm cold" works offline even when you are out of mobile reception in the mountains.

@Grant_H_Seal Holding the centre console volume roller to reboot fixed my wireless Android Auto audio lag in 15 seconds flat.

@VoltRider_SG Has anyone else noticed slightly better efficiency after the latest BMS calibration? Mine dropped by ~0.4 kWh/100km.

@rob_s_sydney Spot on experience here in Melbourne too—handled the 38°C heatwave last week with the AC barely denting range.

I ran the exact same test last month on a rainy weekend trip. Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

For anyone reading this later: make sure you enable SOC calibration by charging to 100% on AC at least once every two to three weeks so the BMS range estimator stays dead accurate.

Great real-world data. Having proper owner telemetry instead of brochure claims makes configuring the car so much easier.

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.
