OEM BYD SEAL DASH CAM INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP GUIDE & SOFTWARE TEST

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to installing the OEM dash cam in a BYD Seal, a feature not included as standard in many markets. The reviewer, BYD Tom, meticulously details the process of removing and reattaching the housing behind the rearview mirror, emphasizing the need for patience and gentle handling of the plastic components. He highlights the ease of connecting the dash cam unit and its power source. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the software aspect, explaining how the 'Driving Recorder' app appears on the infotainment system after a car reboot and detailing its settings, recording modes, and playback features. The reviewer notes the dash cam records video, driving status, and information like speed and gear, but explicitly states it does not record audio. He compares it favorably to third-party options due to its integration with the infotainment screen and contrasts it with Tesla's Sentry Mode, noting the BYD dash cam is primarily for driving recording rather than stationary security. The installation is presented as straightforward and cost-effective, making it a worthwhile addition for Seal owners.
