@Andrew_NovatedAU Cross-checked this with several high-mileage owners in the Australian and UK owners groups?everyone past 60,000 km is seeing the exact same consistent results!

@chris_ev_melb That 10-hour timeout tip just saved my bacon! I noticed my Engel turned off on night one at Lake Eildon because I locked the ute with the key fob instead of setting Camp Mode on the screen.

Also worth adding a small rubber dust cap over the unused tub GPOs when driving corrugations—fine bull dust gets everywhere.

Update from Brisbane: our 2023 Atto 3 is now at 68,000 km on its second set of Michelin Primacy 4s and still feels tight as a drum.

Keep in mind the Denza B5 also has front and rear electronic diff locks plus the "Tank Turn" (compass turn) function as standard even on the non-hydraulic model. With 505kW and 760Nm on the DMO frame, a coil-sprung B5 on 33-inch Falken Wildpeaks is going to embarrass a lot of traditional diesel wagons off-road.

The physical buttons on the centre console and the cleaner interior trim (no guitar strings on the doors!) make the Atto 2 cabin feel very mature. How is the DC charging speed on 100kW+ chargers?

Yes, there's a small 85mm x 60mm cutout right on the bottom underside of the unpainted black diffuser lip. It's completely invisible when standing behind the car unless you get down on your hands and knees.

Had a minor condensation mist inside the rear full-width LED light bar on our 2023 Atto 3 in Brisbane at 38,000 km. Sent two photos to the BYD service centre, they approved a warranty replacement the next day, part arrived from the Melbourne national parts warehouse in 4 business days, and swapped it in 40 minutes at $0 cost.

Also grab the deep centre-console organiser tray and the under-console rubber mat while you're ordering accessories. The lower pass-through storage bin under the wireless phone chargers is huge, and a compartmentalised divider stops sunglasses and keys sliding around in corners.

Does this also apply to the 18.3 kWh / 29.58 kWh Blade Battery in the Sealion 6, Seal U DM-i, and Shark 6 PHEVs?

One of the best-kept secrets on the BYD Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, Sealion 6, and Shark 6 is that BYD pre-installs the housing, lens window, and in most markets the blue LVDS coaxial cable right behind the rear-view mirror cover!

For ~$55–$75 AUD (£32–£45) from AliExpress or TopBYD, you can plug in the genuine OEM BYD DVR Dashcam module in 15 minutes with zero wires hanging down your windscreen.

Why the OEM BYD Dashcam Beats a $300 Third-Party Camera

• Native DiLink DVR App: Once plugged in and rebooted, the built-in "DVR / Driving Recorder" app automatically appears on your centre screen!
• Full Vehicle Telemetry Overlay: Records video with live overlays of your exact speed, brake pedal application, accelerator %, turn signals, steering angle, gear, and ACC status — invaluable for insurance claims.
• 24/7 Parking G-Sensor Mode: Wakes up and saves a locked clip if someone bumps your bumper in a shopping centre car park.

Step-by-Step 15-Minute Install

1. Power down the car completely (Settings → Safety → Power Off) so no ADAS camera calibration fault is logged.
2. Pop off the black plastic mirror shroud using a plastic trim tool (push the two front tabs towards the windscreen, then pull straight down).
3. Check for the Blue Connector: On 95% of Atto 3, Seal, and Sealion builds, the blue cable is taped right to the harness with black foam tape. Unwrap it, click it into the OEM camera, snap the camera into the 3 factory clips, and insert a High-Endurance MicroSD card (64GB or 128GB Class 10 U3, formatted to FAT32 inside the DVR app).

@R_Wright_UK Ice Blue is such a classy colour on the Seal—hides dust and rain spots really well too.
