TELEMETRY · VEHICLE DATA · BYD
Full telemetry for your BYD,
with every vehicle data point.
DashArc reads the car’s own data straight from the DiLink head unit and shows it in real time on your phone, computer and head unit: 100+ vehicle data points, from battery level and health to each tire’s pressure, plus power, consumption, range, 12 V, doors, windows and lights.
It is the most complete telemetry available for BYD: pick the data you want, follow it live from anywhere and replay every trip with the numbers at each moment.
The data DashArc shows
- Traction battery: level (%), battery health (SOH), electric range, charging power, cell temperatures and voltages.
- Fuel (DM-i plug-in hybrids): level, fuel range, instant and last-50-km consumption.
- 12 V battery: voltage, with a low-battery warning.
- Driving: speed, rpm, power (kW and hp), gear, accelerator, brake, steering angle, slope and drive modes.
- Tires: pressure of all four tires.
- Body: doors, hood, trunk, windows, sunroof, seat belts, lights and turn signals.
- Climate: outside and cabin temperature, A/C and fan.
- Parking sensors: distance from each sensor to the obstacle.
Available data depends on each car’s model, head unit and equipment.
Live on your phone and the head unit
On the Telemetry screen you build your own dashboard: tap Add more data and pick what to follow. The same list shows on the head unit and in the phone portal, and values refresh every few seconds.
DashArc only reads what is in use: if nothing is on screen, it does not keep polling the car, so the head unit and battery stay light.
Telemetry for every trip
In Trip history, each drive stores telemetry every few seconds: drag the car along the route to see speed, battery and fuel consumption, power and slope at that moment, with synced charts and the dashcam video from the same moment.
Use the data in automations
Any telemetry value can trigger an automation: for example, switch to Eco mode when the battery drops below 30% or open the windows when a door opens.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see my BYD battery health (SOH)?
Yes. DashArc shows the battery health (SOH) reported by the car itself, along with level, range and temperatures, on the head unit and your phone.
Can I see the 12 V battery voltage?
Yes. Telemetry shows the 12 V battery voltage and warns you when it is low.
Does it show tire pressure?
Yes, each of the four tires, when the car has the TPMS sensor.
Does it work while the car is off?
With the car off, DashArc stays available in stay-awake mode and shows the data the car keeps active. BYD cloud commands also work with the head unit off.
How many data points does DashArc read?
100+ vehicle data points, depending on model and head unit. You choose which ones show on screen.
Tested on DiLink 3 head units running the 13.1.33 system family. Not every feature may be available on your vehicle; features depend on the head unit, firmware and model.
DashArc is an independent app. References to BYD, Waze and Android Auto identify the vehicle platform and integrations; they do not imply partnership or endorsement.
