  • Goodbye "Batman" Tyres! Best Replacement Tyres for BYD Atto 3 (Michelin Primacy 4 vs Hankook iON evo vs Bridgestone Turanza)

    BYD Atto 3 (Yuan Plus) solved byd-atto-3 tyre-replacement

    38 PSI (265 kPa) cold all round is the magic number for 235/50R18 on the Atto 3. Wears dead flat across the tread shoulders and sharpens up turn-in without making the ride harsh.

    In the UK, Ionity (via the Octopus Electroverse app for 8% discount) and Gridserve Electric Forecourts have been 100% reliable on my BYD Seal. Avoid older 50kW BP Pulse units if there's an Ionity or Osprey hub nearby.

  • OBD2 Diagnostics Guide for BYD EVs & PHEVs: Reading Cell Voltages, SOH, Temps & Clearing Ghost Fault Codes with CarScanner Pro
    Gareth_WalesEVG Gareth_WalesEV
    Maintenance, Car Care & DIY obd2-fault-code ac-heating-issue

    Want to see your real Blade Battery State of Health (SOH), individual cell voltages (all 126 to 172 cells), battery coolant inlet/outlet temperatures, DC fast-charging power request vs actual delivery, and clear ghost fault codes? Here is the complete OBD2 setup guide for BYD owners.


    1. Recommended Bluetooth LE 4.0/5.0 OBD2 Adapters

    Do not buy a $10 unbranded blue ELM327 clone — they drop multi-frame CAN messages needed to read 126+ battery cells. Use one of these verified adapters:

    • Vgate vLinker MC+ (BLE 4.0) or Vgate iCar Pro 2S (BLE 5.2) (~$35–$55 AUD / £22–£35 on Amazon)
    • OBDLink CX (Rock-solid auto-sleep mode, also works with ABRP live telemetry!)

    2. Connection Profile in CarScanner ELM OBD2 (iOS / Android)

    1. Plug the dongle into the OBD2 port under the driver's dash (above the accelerator/brake pedals).
    2. Open CarScanner → Settings → Connection → Connection Profile.
    3. Select Brand: BYD and choose:
      • BYD Atto 3 / Yuan Plus / Dolphin (e-Platform 3.0)
      • BYD Seal / Sealion 7
      • BYD DM-i / DMO PHEV (Sealion 6 / Seal U / Shark 6)
    4. Open the Dashboard tab to view live BMS SOH %, Min/Max Cell Voltage (V), Min/Max Pack Temp (°C), and 12V Aux Voltage.
