Weather

Hi - has anyone in Aus had any luck with asking BYD what the weather will be? I saw someone overseas with it working, but I just get a 'sorry, weather is not working right now' response. Not a big deal, and guessing I could also use Android Auto, but would be handy to know if storm/heavy rain on the way when there's no access to phone and using native interface. (Be extra helpful to get a weather radar overlay for the built in map :-))

Just ask Google/siri

Yeah, thank you. I have android auto, so asking Google/Gemini is fine. Was just wondering about the native 'hey byd' as I tend to use that interface more so.

Yep I asked once last week and it gave back the weather for me. But I only did it once, maybe it’s a location services thing? Have you ever used the built in maps etc?

You need an active car data sim for it to work. Is your sim active or tbox dead?

Alright, well today it worked! I guess the backend service must be a bit flaky. Through the built in SIM, native navigation on. Didn't try without the map on yet, so yes it could be a location services thing.

For updates on upcoming weather in my current location I use the window. Joking aside, I do find weather services pretty useless most the time

Mine works (Sealion 7). Sometimes when it’s too early and potentially cellular connection still being activated it says it requires Internet connection but next time i ask it works.

I think that's it. If I wait long enough it seems to work!

In case anyone is wondering - yes, that does turn on the seat ventilation!
