As a tech enthusiast, I find the NFC unlocking feature incredibly convenient. The setup is straightforward: first, download the BYD App, register an account, and bind it to your car. Then, navigate to 'Vehicle Settings' and find the NFC Key option, following the prompts to add your phone. Once bound, simply tap your phone near the door B-pillar or side mirror to unlock, and repeat the action to lock when exiting. To start the vehicle, place your phone on the center console's induction area. This is much lighter than carrying a key—just grab your phone when heading out. Battery-wise, daily usage doesn't drain much, but it's still advisable to enable the battery protection feature in the App. If your phone runs out of power, keeping a mechanical key or card key in your bag is a reliable backup. BYD's design truly enhances the tech experience, especially for someone like me who dislikes carrying extra small items.

As a car owner, I rely on NFC unlocking for my daily commute, which saves a lot of hassle. In the morning, I only need to bring my phone. When I reach the car, a simple tap of my phone on the B-pillar area unlocks the door, eliminating the need to fumble for keys. To start the vehicle, just place the phone on the center console area for a quick scan—it's incredibly fast. The most convenient part is being able to operate it effortlessly even when my hands are full with shopping bags. However, I've experienced reduced sensitivity when my phone battery is low, so I keep a mechanical key in my bag as a backup. I recommend regularly updating the app to avoid signal interference issues. This feature is especially practical for city living, reducing the worry of losing keys. BYD has integrated smart technology into everyday car use, making the car feel like a handy personal assistant.

Under safety considerations, I use the NFC function quite cautiously. First, ensure the phone is set with a strong password or fingerprint lock to prevent unauthorized access if someone maliciously approaches. When adding a key in the BYD App, double-check the vehicle information to avoid incorrect binding. After enabling the function, test unlocking several times to ensure stability. If the phone is lost, promptly freeze the function and seek police assistance. I also regularly check the App's permission settings to prevent privacy leaks. Always carry a spare mechanical key in case the phone malfunctions or runs out of battery. Although NFC is convenient, potential security risks like signal interference may cause the function to fail, so don’t rely on it alone. BYD’s design enhances convenience, but users must proactively mitigate risks.

Setting up an NFC key is not difficult for beginners, just follow my steps. First, download the BYD App, log in, and select your car model. Then, find the 'NFC Key' function in the settings, click 'Add New Key,' and follow the on-screen instructions to enter the verification code. After binding your phone, simply tap it near the B-pillar to unlock the car. Practice locking and unlocking a few times to get used to it. If you experience lag, try restarting the App or checking the user manual. The App includes animated guides to show you the correct positioning—it’s as easy as using a smartphone for payments. I was initially worried about too many steps, but it only took a minute or two, and now I don’t have to dig through my bag for keys anymore. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to take a screenshot and ask the 4S store customer service—they’ll resolve it quickly.
