Hacks & Secrets

Hidden features, easter eggs, and tricks you won't find in the manual — from real owners.

  • Hidden Feature

    ADS 4 — Huawei's newest

    M6 is the first AITO with Qiankun ADS 4. Smarter than ADS 3.0 in older M7/M9. OTA updates come weekly.

  • Money Saver

    Pick battery by use

    180 km EV (cheapest) plenty for daily commute. 272 km (priciest) only if you travel cross-Gulf weekly.

  • Comfort

    Ultra trim — fridge + AR-HUD

    Ultra trim (CNY 309,800) has center fridge + AR-HUD + 25-speaker Huawei Sound. For long family trips.

  • Hidden Feature

    HarmonyOS NEXT — 2026 features

    First AITO with HarmonyOS NEXT (newest 2026). Improved dialect recognition, faster multi-step, Apple iCloud sync supported.

  • Easter Egg

    The M9's headlights are secretly a 100-inch outdoor cinema

    The M9's million-pixel matrix headlights project navigation arrows and a “light carpet” onto the road — park facing a wall and they double as a 100-inch outdoor projector for movies and karaoke. Perfect for desert camping nights.

  • Comfort

    One-tap Nap Mode folds the M9 into a flat bed

    In Nap/Bed Mode the front seats fold flat and merge with the second row into a continuous sleeping surface with climate staying active — genuinely usable on long Gulf highway runs.

  • Hidden Feature

    The M9's 32-inch drop-down screen is also a privacy divider

    The 3K projector screen descending from the rear ceiling has a second job — lowered without playback it acts as a privacy divider between driver and rear passengers (a chauffeur-car trick).

  • Tip

    A Huawei phone unlocks the HarmonyOS cockpit's best tricks

    With a Huawei phone you get seamless multi-device handoff: mirror apps onto the car screen and continue nav/music phone-to-car. On China-spec imports maps stay China-locked — phone mirroring is the practical navigation workaround.
