How to pair iPhone key with BYD Dolphin Surf (comfort trim)

Rohirrimus | 2025-12-18 12:40 | 24 views

Hello guys, can anyone who did it please let me know how you paired iPhone to be used as key? Instructions on the screen are saying to place phone on nfc reader inside of the car, but nfc reader is on the mirror? When I try to tap the mirror I get the error above. Thanks

For the BYD Surf, the NFC is at the storage tray below the wireless charging area (should be with the NFC logo / left tray) The animation on the infotainment screen would show the exact location as well.

Use the wireless charging pad not the NFC reader on the mirror to add the Digital Key.

The nfc reader is in the lower storage section of the centre console, took us like 10 minutes to find it in the dealership as it was the first one they did set up with.

Omg thank you, managed. It’s annoying as animation is showing a different car and there is no nfc writing underneath

Thank you. In fact there is no nfc logo there and animation is showing a different car. Managed now :)

Yeah it was an absolute ballache but having it set up on phone and watch is a life saver

Yeah remember with the Seal it showed originally the charging recess in the animation when really it was on top of the centre storage

In Seal that's not the right place, so might be different for every BYD model.

Got a BYD Seal and yep, that sounds like the genuine BYD software experience
