Official companions, cockpit software, and tools every owner needs — with Gulf availability notes.
GAC's global connected-car app — covering AION and HYPTEC in the Gulf
🌍 Launched with official AION/HYPTEC in UAE (Gargash) and KSA. Official-channel cars only — China-import Aions need the Chinese app.
The community-proven kit to get YouTube, Google Maps and an Arabic keyboard onto your imported car's screen
🌍 Proven by thousands of owners (XDA + Russian and Gulf communities). Verified caveats: BYD removed ADB in v1.7+ (newer units need a downgrade or an AI Box), OTA updates can wipe apps, and video on the driver screen while moving is illegal and unsafe. APKs must be arm64-v8a.
Adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to any Android car screen
🌍 Thousands of Amazon owner reviews — the standard in the head-unit scene. On newer locked BYD DiLink units owners use the AI Box hardware variant instead of the APK — warranty-safe and non-invasive.
Unlocks YouTube, IPTV, video and web browsing inside Android Auto — free and open source
🌍 Installs on your phone (not the head unit) and needs developer mode + Unknown sources in Android Auto settings. For cars with Android Auto. Video while driving is unsafe and illegal — passengers and parked use only.
The world's largest community charging map — with owner check-ins
🌍 UAE: excellent coverage (1,100+ Dubai points). KSA: good and growing (EVIQ, Electromin). Kuwait: sparse but the only practical reference — no national Kuwaiti charging app yet.
EV trip planner — calculates charging stops for long Gulf road trips
🌍 Works in the Gulf but its charger database lags Europe (Saudi EVIQ stations may be missing) — pair it with PlugShare for intercity trips.
Read live EV battery data with a cheap Bluetooth OBD dongle
🌍 Used-buyer alert: true battery health (SOH) is NOT exposed via standard OBD on BYD — you get SoC and voltages only. For an authoritative report before buying a used BYD: dealer diagnostic (VDS) or a pro tool like the Foxwell NT710.
A second community charging map — real listings across KSA and the UAE
🌍 A great second opinion alongside PlugShare — Gulf coverage is thinner but real and verified.
Saudi Arabia's national fast-charging network (PIF + Saudi Electricity Co.)
🌍 KSA only — the must-have app for any EV owner in Saudi Arabia. Network targets 5,000 chargers by 2030.
Petromin's charging network — 200+ locations across Saudi Arabia
🌍 KSA — largest network by locations (200+), strong at urban/retail sites. Complements EVIQ.
The UAE's federal charging network — expanding nationwide
🌍 UAE only — key for trips outside Dubai (Northern Emirates, Abu Dhabi highways). Scaling to 1,000 chargers by 2030.
Dubai's original charging network — 400+ stations
🌍 Dubai only — registration is mandatory for DEWA public chargers.
Tips from real owners across the Gulf — heat, sand, prayer, Ramadan, travel.
In Gulf heat, pre-cool from the car's app 10 min before driving — cabin drops from 60° to 25°.
Park, hit 'Cabin Mode → Quiet'. AC stays on, music mutes, displays dim.
Best fast-charge window: 4-6 PM (before iftar, stations empty). Avoid 8-10 PM peak.
Cd 0.197 means 10-15% less consumption on highway. Great for open Gulf roads.

How do I X — quick tasks every owner should know.
Hidden features, easter eggs, and tricks you won't find in the manual — from real owners.
Open the car app 10 min before leaving. Cabin cools, battery pre-conditions for charging. Saves time, max comfort in 50° summers.
In countries with time-of-use rates (UAE Slab 1), schedule 23:00-06:00 to save 20-40% on your electricity bill.
Park in P, enable Camp Mode from menu or voice command. AC stays on, screens dim. Uses only ~1 kWh/hour.
Set regen to highest (One-Pedal or High). Cuts brake wear 60%+ and adds 5-10% range in city traffic.
A small bump (~0.2 bar above recommended) reduces rolling resistance and adds 3-5% range. Also a heat-safety win.
