BYD F3 Disabling the One-Minute Auto-Lock Feature

[Evan]

Disconnect the power for 15 minutes, then reconnect to see if it resolves the issue. Alternatively, after unlocking the door, insert the spare key within 15 seconds, turn it to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard (note: only illuminate the dashboard without starting the engine), and then turn it off for 10 consecutive cycles to force disable the feature. You can refer to the key markings: OFF-ACC-ON-START, where OFF-ON and ON-OFF count as one cycle. The working principle is as follows: 1. Integrated chip; most electronic car anti-theft devices contain an integrated chip with internal switches that output a positive voltage to the drive circuit when an external trigger voltage is applied, activating the actuator and alarm circuit. 2. External voltage; the external voltage is applied via sensors or switches, ensuring concealment and tamper resistance. 3. Interconnected circuits; factory-installed anti-theft systems in electric vehicles operate similarly to electronic anti-theft devices but with interconnected circuits primarily designed to lock the system. 4. Network-based anti-theft; these systems offer enhanced functionality compared to electronic anti-theft devices, including sending alerts to the owner's phone and the ability to lock the system. Phone-based GPS can locate the vehicle within a specific range.
