Hi @Effendyhu, I see you had the Hema maps app available for download in the video. Did you install it and if so, did it work with the screen in portrait orientation?
No problem if you didn't install it. We are specifically interested in any 4wd off roading apps that will benefit operating in portrait. Thanks for the quick response :)
@Effendyhu hello again :) i was wondering two things is it possible to open the boot without turning the car off and how does the passenger lock the car from inside, without leaning over to driver’s side to lock it?
There is a boot opening button on the driver door next to the three strings. To lock the car, I haven't found an effective way to do this apart from using the app. The voice command doesn't work yet for locking the car
Would we lose our car Warranty if we install third party apps??? I did the downgrade to the previous official BYD firmate update, installed All apps I wanted, and updates to latest OTA update. Everything os fine, however Today I went to BYD Málaga,Spain, and the seller made me think about this issue, ... nevertheless, I think amy engine issue, car parts issue etc should have a different Warranty, and infotainment another One . If your Seat, belt or a windows does not work properly, Warranty should cover those kind of issues independently if you installed third party apps or not... What do you think ?
I think this is a gray area, technically you shouldn't lose the car warranty, as the infotainment portion have very little to do with the mechanics of the car and there are separate firmware that operates all the car electronics which are untouchable from the user.
@@Effendyhu the folder is labeled third party apps which files do I need to have in there? The same usb drive was used in the yuan plus and worked fine. Not sure if a different folder name and files are needed
Which version of App Manager are you using? I have tried 6.4 and cant get it to work. Also I cant get Aurora to work either I have tried Version 4.2.3 and other versions. I can install it on the BYD Seal but when I open it and go through the settings I can't grant all permissions. The permission to allow install, when I click on it, I just get booted back to the BYD home page. I have also installed the package unlocker from your share folder. Cheers
This is no longer possible after the latest update. Just for your info, the edutainment system is separate to the car control, so adding app to the system is no riskier than downloading app from the Android app store. Providing you are installing legitimate app.
Hi need your help I have BYD Yuan Plus 2023. I have downloaded your package installer and by mistake I installed the locker. Now its locked and I only can install from BYD Sore. the software version on my car is 1.3 i tried it serval times but no password comes up. Please Advice. Thanks
@@sisaykelka1152 no the password depends on the version of your firmware. Your firmware have to be lower than version 1.7, because after 1.7 this function no longer available
@@hosamassaf1908 It might work. You need to check whether the sim card is activated, that can only be done in dealership. For radio you only need to scan the station
@@idobitan6968 the newest version could be 1.7 so you won't be able to side load. But you can downgrade to earlier version. I found some instructions, but haven't tried this yet.

Hi
I just leased my Atto 3 from today 2024-03-07, can I still install apps in the way you show in this video? I live in sweden. thanks
if you don't have the latest 1.7 firmware, your should be able to. Just follow the instruction and the car should prompt you with the password
@@Effendyhu i just saw that I have the 1.7 firmwire, so I guess there is no way to install apps now :(

what password did you use to install the locker?
@@Effendyhu the password screen does not show
But how did you get to the password login? You jumped from the system not allowing third party apps to the login screen....how was that done?
The password login pops up if you have firmware lower than 1.7 and you put the apk files inside a usb stick with the right folder name
Where did you get the password? Is it the same one I created for the phone app, or did you receive it from BYD when you bought the car?
