Yes I wasn't expecting it to work, but it did!

I hope this video gives you enough information so installing this dashcam is straightforward for you. If you have any questions, or I missed anything, drop a comment down below.

Thanks for this, mate. Looking forward to absolutely flubbing this when we pick up our seal in a few weeks.

You are very welcome. Congrats on your new Seal. I am still loving mine after 6 months.

@SkyPerspective - you still have the protective cover around the edge of rearview mirror (which is only meant for transport) - when you remove that the frameless mirror looks much nicer.

Oh really? Thanks for letting me know

I just received my BYD Seal in Germany two days ago. Everything worked nicely and the cable is there! Thank you! Also works with 256GB

Great to know. You are welcome to share the link with everyone here, so people know the one you installed will work.

Did you get a "smart guard" app available in the BYD store (in car) after installing the camera?

It's not available on my (in car) BYD Store app. Did they blocked this smart guard app by geographic location?

@faenstull oh ok. I will find out more if I get the time to.

Is there no rear view?

Thank you for that! I could install mine as well. One different topic question: do your steering wheel vibrates when you drive?

@SkyPerspective

26 күн бұрын

Yes, when the road is uneven or when there are road bumps. Doesn't vibrate much if I am on good highways. Why did you ask? Is yours vibrating?

@rogernelson1171

Yes. Has only 600 km now. Quite wierd. For 10 km at 100-120 km/h was ok today, then the steering wheel starts to vibrate.

@@rogernelson1171 it could be a sign that the wheel bearings, tie rod ends, or ball joints are damaged. Or if it happens when you are braking it could be that the car has warped brake rotors. Or could be unbalanced tires. Should get it checked out as soon as possible because that should not be happening with a brand-new car

Do you have live feed to the car camera when using remote start?

Nope, unfortunately not. Starting the air con to remote start the dashcam might be a convenint side effect BYD was not expecting when designing the dashcam.

@SkyPerspective thanks for confirming. It's a shame BYD doesn't introduce a "Sentry mode" system like Tesla.

​@xMI55IONx yes I agree.

Attention: Newer seals came without the cable and a (difficulty to remove) plug for the camera hole I heard. And sometimes the rear view mirror fells off (easily to mount again when you know how). And 32 GB is very small. My 128 GB only lasts for a month.

Wow, thanks for sharing such useful information. Yes, better to check our Seal before we buy the camera. Now I am curious what the newer seal looks like inside the housing. Hope someone can share a photo or video or something.

is there a dashcam for the rear of the car?

See 11:52, on the left side of the connector, there is a stripe of jagged plastic. At the end of this plastic strip, there is a protruding catch that will click into the hole of the blue connected on the camera. To unplug the camera, we need to use a pin to push in this catch and pull the connector backwards.

It's for recording events happening in front of our cars in case there is an accident.

The resolution of the camera is quite bad
