Does the BYD Han support CarPlay?
2 Answers
BYD Han does not support CarPlay. Here is some relevant information about the BYD Han: 1. Introduction: The BYD Han is part of the BYD Dynasty series, featuring a family design language inspired by the Chinese dragon, symbolizing not only speed and power but also leadership. 2. Exterior: The BYD Han is a B-segment car with body dimensions of 4980 (4960)/1910/1495 mm and a wheelbase of 2920 mm. The front design adopts a closed-off approach, presenting a clean and bold look. Unlike previous models, the new design transforms the dragon's mouth into a flatter shape, lowering the front profile. Combined with horizontal lines, this gives the car a very low and aggressive visual stance.
As someone who's super interested in automotive technology, I have to say BYD Han's CarPlay support isn't completely uniform; it runs on the DiLink system which doesn't come with CarPlay as standard. But the good news is that newer models like the Han post-2023 can enable CarPlay by downloading the official app from the in-car app store. I've tried it myself—just connect your iPhone via USB, open DiLink to find and install an app labeled something like 'CarPlay'. Once set up, Apple Maps and music project directly, which is quite convenient. If you occasionally experience unstable connections, simply restarting the vehicle usually fixes it. The key point is that DiLink updates rapidly, with monthly OTA pushes potentially improving compatibility. If you drive a Han, I recommend checking your system version and consulting your dealer—don't rely on default functionalities since there can be significant differences between production batches. Overall, the Han is making rapid progress in smart features, but CarPlay isn't its core selling point.
