  • International edition: email registration, local maps, OTA

Import Screen Toolkit

Third-party

The community-proven kit to get YouTube, Google Maps and an Arabic keyboard onto your imported car's screen

  • GBox (free): runs Google services — YouTube, Google Maps, Netflix — in a sandbox on GMS-less screens
  • Aurora Store (free, open source): download Play Store apps with no Google account, straight from the screen
  • Gboard: Arabic/English typing replacing the Chinese-only factory keyboard on imports
  • Google Maps or Waze on the factory screen — full Gulf coverage unlike the Chinese factory nav
  • Install: ADB from a laptop (adb install -g) — the same path i99dash uses. On BYD install AppManager first to unlock installs

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.

Gulf Tips

Practical Gulf guidance — separating verified experience from estimates and pending specifications.

Aftermarket window film

Stock tint is lighter than L7/L9 — add 70% IR film (3M Crystalline) for Gulf summer.

Smaller battery = faster loss

36.8 kWh at 50°C = ~150 km real instead of 212.

Soft sand is not its habitat

All L6 trims are AWD and handle light off-road, but it's a road SUV first — avoid soft sand.

1390 km = Riyadh→Mecca on half a tank

Best L for cross-country driving on a budget.

Refuel before iftar rush

Gas stations get jammed 20 min before Maghrib.

Hacks & Secrets

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

  • Money Saver

    Eco mode + tires +0.2 bar = 12% savings

    Eco mode alone saves 5-7%. Add +0.2 bar above recommended tire pressure (highway only) for another 5-7%. Total 12-14% savings.

  • Tip

    Pro trim covers 90% of Gulf driving

    All L6 trims are AWD. The Pro trim is cheaper with the same range; the Max trim adds higher-end equipment and driver assists.

  • Gulf-Specific

    Aftermarket 70% IR window film

    L6 stock tint is lighter than L7/L9. Add 3M Crystalline 70% film for ~SAR 600 — cabin 8°C cooler in Gulf summer.

  • Money Saver

    Schedule night charging for 40% savings

    In Saudi, residential tariff after 11 PM is 40% cheaper. Li app → Charging → Schedule 23:00-06:00. Save ~SAR 200/month.

  • Comfort

    Face ID for every family member

    Settings → User Profiles → Add Face. Register every family member's face. Car auto-adjusts seat, mirrors, media, and AC based on who sits down.

  • Gulf-Specific

    Best DC charge window in summer: before 6 PM

    After 6 PM, Saudi chargers get crowded. Before 6 PM — empty stations + cooler ambient = 15% faster charge.

  • Gulf-Specific

    Get the master account transferred BEFORE the car ships

    The current Li Auto app needs a Chinese number. Have the exporter transfer the master account or authorize your number before shipping, and switch the system to English. (An email-based international edition arrives with the official export version.)

  • Comfort

    Turn the L9 second row into a real cinema

    One-tap theater mode: the 21.4-inch 3K rear screen drops, captain's chairs recline with footrests, Dolby Atmos + Vision kick in. The second-row seats have 4D vibration units pulsing in sync with the movie audio — a feature many never discover.

  • Gulf-Specific

    The fridge keeps cooling 24h after you lock the car

    The 8.8L console fridge in the L7/L8/L9 holds 0–7°C (or warms 35–50°C) for up to 24h after locking. In Gulf heat: leave drinks overnight and they're still cold for the morning run.

  • Hidden Feature

    Plug a PlayStation into the rear screen — there's a 1.1 kW outlet

    The L9 has an HDMI input for the rear screen plus an in-cabin 220V outlet rated 1.1 kW. Hook up a Switch or PS5 and game on the 21.4-inch screen with Dolby Atmos — a mobile gaming room.

  • Hidden Feature

    Point at a window and say “open this”

    The L9's cabin ToF cameras track where you point. Point at any window and say “open this” — that exact window opens. Works from the rear seats too.
