In-car Zhadi APK

BYD · DiLink

Zhadi is a third-party app installed on the BYD head unit that sends vehicle data to E1 over BLE. The phone-side E仪表 app is only used for firmware updates, background images, brightness and similar settings.

Third-party head-unit app; confirm the source and compatibility before installing.

  • Navigation arrows and distance on E1-BYD come from the head unit's built-in Amap (BYD edition); road names and ETA are not promised.
