Step by step: prepare for an offered update

1. Park safely and allow enough time for the car to remain unavailable.
2. Read the update prompt on your own vehicle and confirm that it identifies version 2.1.0.
3. Meet the battery and other requirements shown by the vehicle before starting.
4. Record important preferences where practical, then follow the vehicle’s installation prompts.
5. Wait for the vehicle to report completion and do not interrupt the installation unless instructed.

For the fuller workflow, use our BYD OTA update guide alongside the official manual for your vehicle. Do not install unofficial files to force an update.

Step by step: check the result

1. Record the complete software version after installation.
2. Check phone pairing and preferred settings while parked.
3. Test only the functions listed in your vehicle’s own release notification.

If it fails: retain the full version and exact error message for authorised BYD support. Persistent warnings or failed installations need authorised assistance.
