Realised this weekend that our household has now clocked 60,000 combined kilometres in two BYDs (2023 Atto 3 Extended + 2025 Shark 6 DMO Ute) without a single unscheduled dealer visit!

Between our 10 kW rooftop solar system and Amber wholesale charging, our total running cost across both vehicles has dropped by over $6,400 AUD per year compared to our old Prado and Golf.

Here is how to set up Apple Wallet / Google Wallet Digital Car Key so you can leave both physical keyfobs and the NFC card at home:

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

1. Open the BYD App (v2.3+) -> Tap Digital Key -> Add to Apple Wallet / Samsung Wallet.
2. Place your phone on the car's wireless charging pad with the physical keyfob inside the cabin to pair.
3. Enable Express Mode in Apple Wallet settings—now you can unlock the driver door and start the car even if your iPhone or Apple Watch battery is flat (works for up to 5 hours on reserve power)!
