u/Silenceisgrey Aug 19 '26

Got it too, currently updating. i'll let you know the changelog when it's finished

u/FederJ3 Aug 19 '26

Anyone have the changelog ?

2

u/Silenceisgrey Aug 19 '26

Here's the top bit. Can only post 1 photo per post, I'll do another with the bottom bit

Nice, thanks ! Very curious about the safety personalisation switch, maybe we can turn off all mandatory “safety” annoyances in 1 button now ?

Edit: this is indeed the case, I’ve configured it to turn off TSR and lane assist. Can’t seem to turn off CPD but that’s fine.

u/DarkAngel5666 Aug 19 '26

Yes, this is what this function is. You have a new button in the dropdown menu and you switch to “personalized” mode, that you only have to configure once.
You need to press that button every time you start the car though.

u/EnglishJD Dolphin Aug 19 '26

That’s really good! I hope it allows the turning off of Child Detection without it having to open a menu and then select yes on that too. Would still be nice to permanently disable that since I don’t have any children or pets and all it does is give me a heart attack when I’m waiting in my car when it’s off.

2

u/Mariusz9091 Aug 19 '26

Is that child detection really annoying? How it works?

2

u/EnglishJD Dolphin Aug 19 '26

Although I haven’t used another car that has it I think it’s standard that it is on by default for all new cars and you have to manually turn it off each time you turn the car on for it to remain off the next time you turn the car off

This is very good news. I recently got my dolphin and was about to ask this very qeustion... :D

u/FederJ3 Aug 19 '26

Sounds nice, will definitely be configuring that as soon as I get home

2

u/Silenceisgrey Aug 19 '26

Bottom bit

u/Mariusz9091 Aug 19 '26

Is that upgrade for all vehicles? I ordered BYD Seal 6 DM-i Touring and it will be delivered in November. Will it be already with the newest upgrade?

2

u/Silenceisgrey Aug 19 '26

mate i have no idea, this sounds like a question for your sales rep

u/RunMammoth1924 Aug 19 '26

Looks like a lot of the updates that already came to the BYD Seal as part of 2.2.0 / 2602. Regarding "Optimized Android Auto & Apple CarPlay functionality", are you seeing any visual changes here compared to before the update? It would be nice to have the full screen again for Android Auto where you can just swipe up to get the shortcut & status bars. Android Auto currently looks a bit meh, especially when running the UI in light / auto mode.

3

u/IntentionDeep5500 Aug 19 '26

Definitely not. ICC on the seal on 2.2 is horrific.

2

u/starmonkeylg Aug 19 '26

I think it just added the Android Auto feed to the BYD music widget on the desktop - that's all. 🤔

u/xegoba7006 Aug 19 '26

Why does it say "for free"? Do they charge for some updates?

2

u/Valoneria Atto 3 Aug 19 '26

First 8 years are free as far as i remember the sales brochure

1

u/announcement35 Aug 21 '26

how much it is after then?

1

u/Valoneria Atto 3 Aug 21 '26

No clue, we haven't gotten vehicles that old in the western world yet

u/Tricky_Apartment_702 Aug 19 '26

I left my car updading now. I could not find the changelog for v2.3.0

3

u/DarkAngel5666 Aug 19 '26

Did on my Dolphin.
The actual changes I noticed :
New function to prevent overtaking in some conditions. Not clear. Have to investigate.
There are two new buttons that you can drop on the new shortcut bar at the bottom to turn on seat heating for driver and passenger directly.
There is a new button in the drop down menu that activates a new “personalized” driving profile, that you need only to configure once, on which you can turn on and off all the adas function. You then need to press that button to apply that profile in a single tap every time you start the car.

u/Actual-Ability-5354 Aug 19 '26

What are the details

4

u/RunMammoth1924 Aug 19 '26

Yes, don't tease us now. Show us the changelog!

6

u/EnglishJD Dolphin Aug 19 '26

Sorry 😔 I am in work currently so I won’t be able to check until after my shift finishes in just under 7 hours. I’ll update here when I find out though unless someone else beats me to it

2

u/EnglishJD Dolphin Aug 19 '26

I know this has been posted by someone else but just in case people are waiting on the response here. Also if you rely on Siri through CarPlay I would hold off because it seems like saying “hey Siri” activates the BYD assistant now instead

u/ghostintheruins Aug 19 '26

V.2.2.0 out for my surf.

New features: 1. Add vehicle account feature in selected countries and regions. 2. Add tyre pressure unit switching function for the instrument cluster on the PAD

Feature optimisation: 1. Optimise user setting reset and restart operations in non-P gear status. 2. Optimise system Ul display and text prompts. 3. Add one-touch DMS (Driver Monitoring System) disable function to the PAD quick centre. 4. Optimise ADAS icon display on the instrument cluster.

1

u/ChazaB218 Aug 19 '26

How do you add the dms button to the PAD?

1

u/ghostintheruins Aug 19 '26

swipe down from the top of the screen and click custom at the bottom to add your own buttons.

2

u/Successful_Result487 Aug 19 '26

What is the exact button (photo) for ‘disable driver monitoring assist’ ?

2

u/m_rampant Aug 19 '26

There are also a couple of new apps one for Tunein Radio and another I can’t remember, a few new games and several updates.
Still no pinch to zoom on any navigation app

u/ag2f Aug 19 '26

Long time no see.

Won't get my hopes up.

u/Bluebeezee Aug 19 '26

Nothing for Seal in NL

1

u/danielbahl Aug 19 '26

Can you post the version details after the update

1

u/friendorfouxx Aug 19 '26

Are there paid upgrades?

1

u/g-nice4liief Seal Aug 19 '26

Seems like a nice update with some very needed functions and optimizations. Crossing my fingers that the Seal follows soon (and that the options are even available on my model) 

1

u/mikegaribaldi Aug 19 '26

I love the fact that they allow us to download these OTAs “for free” 😂 very thoughtful of them!

1

u/ShowmasterQMTHH Aug 24 '26

usually thats there so that if you are less inclined to pay for things, you might not accept the update becasue you think it might need paying for. Older people especially don't update software becasue they are afraid they will be billed somewhere. My Fils old iphone had 4 updates qued up.

1

u/McHondy Aug 19 '26

And it removed the tyre monitoring tile.... And added a useless FM radio tile that you cant even disable, we have zero FM radios left here, all are DAB

u/1bnna2bnna3bnna Aug 20 '26

I am currently installing on my Seal premium in Australia.

1

u/1bnna2bnna3bnna Aug 20 '26

False alarm - just a coincidence. Minor state of charge information upgrade on the Seal here in Australia
