Independent app for the BYD Song Premium
The Song Premium shares the head unit and cluster of the Song Plus, DashArc’s development car, and gets the same features. Waze on the cluster, live cameras on your phone, dashcam and sentry mode and remote control.
WHY DASHARC
Runs right on the Song Premium DiLink head unit: no mirroring, no dongle, no WebView.
The DashArc Unlocker enables app installs and installs DashArc. No laptop in the car.
Live cameras and sentry mode stay available in stay-awake mode, with an eye on the 12 V battery.
New versions arrive on the head unit itself, with automatic installs if you want.
Try everything on your car before paying. Then a one-time lifetime license.
FEATURES
Everything below is already in the app. Tap a title to see the feature in detail.
The Waze route shows on the instrument cluster, in front of the wheel, with the next turn always in sight. The head unit stays free for music or your passenger.
Waze, lane guidance, alerts and maneuvering cameras show on the 12.3″ instrument cluster, in the same layout as the Song Plus. The head-up display keeps its factory information: DashArc does not touch it.
Watch the 360° view from anywhere, in your phone or computer browser.
All four Song Premium cameras recorded into a single 2×2 video, while driving and while parked.
With your BYD account in DashArc, the portal controls the car even with the head unit off.
