For New Zealand Sealion 6 owners: the Lockon Towbars NZ kit uses the exact same chassis rail bolt holes (4x M12x1.25 fine-thread captive nuts already welded inside the rear rails from the BYD factory — just peel off the circular tape stickers covering the holes!). Torque them to 110 Nm.

BYD DiLink 100 / 150 Cockpit Hardware Upgrade: 6nm Snapdragon / D9000 Chip, Split-Screen CarPlay & KaraokeExecutive Summary & Key Takeaways: A breakdown of the upgraded DiLink 100 & DiLink 150 5G cockpit compute modules rolling out across 2025–2026 BYD models:

1. Platform Engineering & Core Hardware Breakdown
Figure 1: BYD Seal & Ocean Series Engineering — featuring Cell-to-Body (CTB) structural battery integration and 40,500 Nm/deg torsional rigidity.
- 6nm / 4nm Octa-Core Automotive SoC: Antutu benchmark score exceeds 550,000–1,000,000 (3x faster app launch and 60fps 3D car model rendering on the home screen).
- Split-Screen Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto: Keep Waze/Google Maps running on 2/3 of the 15.6-inch screen while keeping native BYD climate/energy controls pinned on the side.
- Four-Zone Voice Recognition: Independent mic array picks up commands from front left, front right, and both rear seats accurately.
2. Technical Specifications & Architecture Comparison
Figure 2: Next-Generation Powertrain & ADAS: High-voltage SiC power electronics, DiPilot intelligent sensor suite, and LFP Blade Battery 2.0.
Below is the complete engineering and specification breakdown across the export powertrain and chassis architecture:
Technical Parameter Official BYD Specification & Benchmark Structural Integration Cell-to-Body (CTB) Honeycomb Blade Battery Floor (40,500 Nm/deg) Power Electronics 800V / 1,000V High-Voltage Silicon-Carbide (SiC) Architecture ADAS Sensor Fusion DiPilot 100/300 Tri-Camera + 5x Millimeter-Wave Radars Thermal Management Direct-Refrigerant Heat Pump (-30°C to +45°C Operating Range) 3. Real-World Ownership Impact, Safety & Regional Availability
From a long-term ownership perspective, the combination of Cobalt-Free LFP Blade Battery chemistry, Cell-to-Body (CTB) / Cell-to-Chassis (CTC) structural rigidity, and over-the-air (DiLink OTA) software refinement ensures strong residual values and low scheduled maintenance costs across both right-hand-drive (ANZ/UK) and European markets.
