The car recognises the USB stick (symbol top right hand corner) but does not prompt for password or installation. And using a file explorer to click on the APK files prompt a warning message NOT to install any third party software. I wonder anyone in Europe / UK has any bright ideas?

Hello, thank you for your sharing. I installed the APK files as you said to my BYD ATTO 3 my car. Some opened but some did not. For example, Yandex-Maps is opened, but applications such as Netflix and KZitem Music give an error and close before opening. Google cannot load at all. Recently, a software update was made to my vehicle by the authorized service for some corrections. Installed Software version: 13.1.32.2310180.1 After this update we can no longer install apk files. :) They blocked this. Before the update, when the USB memory was inserted, the password screen would appear and we would type the password. This password request screen no longer appears. Do you have any comments or solution suggestions on this issue? Thank you from now.

Would we lose our car Warranty if we install third party apps??? I did the downgrade to the previous official BYD firmate update, installed All apps I wanted, and updates to latest OTA update. Everything os fine, however Today I went to BYD Málaga,Spain, and the seller made me think about this issue, ... nevertheless, I think amy engine issue, car parts issue etc should have a different Warranty, and infotainment another One . If your Seat, belt or a windows does not work properly, Warranty should cover those kind of issues independently if you installed third party apps or not... What do you think ?

@TallPaulTech well , nowadays BYD Seal or any BYD user with the newest BYD update cannot install any third app, we cannot access to the hiden option to enable permissions to do It, but, there is a way very easy for this porpuse , check Felipe Correa, youtuber, his vídeo slideload apps for byd seal explains how. It just consists of installing the previous official BYD update which allows to give permissions, so you install the apps you are intetested in and then, you update again to the newest OTA BYD update. So that, the logical thinking takes for granted that the "general" car Warranty should cover all car parts (Windows, door car, seats etc etc ) even if you installed KZitem app or any third app...(If not it would be really crazy) Infotainment is one thing, and general car parts, other different. Besides, bearing in mind that we also are using the newest official BYD update...what's the problem?? we are of course using the latest BYD firmware, everything OEM as from factory. Despite of being in the latest BYD update, the installed third apps work fine. In addition to this ...we have always used official BYD updates. That all. The warranty would cover everything.

I wonder how secure BYD’s OTA update process is to a MITM attack ?. Perhaps I’m a little paranoid, however we seem to be accumulating a large number of devices in our homes that have encrypted traffic going to Chinese companies - which have a legal obligation to implement any changes required by the CCP for ‘national security’. The same CCP which has conducted cyber attacks on Australian government departments and private companies.
