OWNER ANSWER
Can the SEALION 7 steering-wheel buttons skip between radio favourites?
Open the built-in FM or DAB radio while parked and try the left and right buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. BYD’s handbook says they select the previous or next station. If they move through the full station list, select your saved station directly from Favourites on the radio screen.
For the SEALION 7 using the built-in radio. The RHD 07.2024 EN_V0 handbook describes the buttons. Your installed software can affect how the radio behaves.
- While parked, open the built-in radio and choose FM or DAB. Select one of your saved stations from Favourites.
- Press the next-station button once and see whether the radio moves to your next saved station or to a station from the full list. Check that the wheel buttons are operating the built-in radio and that you are comparing stations from the same band.
- If the buttons browse the full list, use Favourites on the radio screen to choose a saved station before setting off. For a repeatable difference, note the band and full system version.
What success looks like
The arrows move to the previous or next station. If they move through your favourites on your car, repeat the check with one more saved station to confirm. Owners of European Comfort and Excellence cars reported that the buttons moved through the full list even with Favourites selected. Their exact software was not recorded.
If that did not work
If favourites work on the screen but the wheel arrows still cycle through the full list, ask BYD whether your installed radio version supports favourites-only switching. BYD’s 3.3.0 notes list radio settings improvements, without specifying that behaviour. If the arrows do nothing even in the normal station list, report the band, system version and whether both arrows respond so BYD can check the radio controls.
