Gulf charging notes

  • The 12-minute claim needs a compatible charger and conditioned battery; do not expect it at every Gulf station.
  • Before a China import, request a real charging video and written connector, app and warranty confirmation.

Import Screen Toolkit

Verified
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.

  • Online firmware upgrades via the AutoKit app

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.

  • Built-in web browser and screen mirroring
  • Works without root on Android 14/15/16

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.

  • Installs on all three Li Auto screens incl. the rear
  • Re-install support after OTA updates

The de-facto standard in the Russian Li Auto community (Russian UI). Gulf owners can replicate the same result free via plain ADB (adb install -g) — the service just adds convenience and a curated catalog.

Gulf Tips

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

Wait for UAE heat testing

Do not treat CLTC as a summer forecast. Check EV range and charging speed with all three rows cooled once the dealer car arrives.

China software is not automatically Arabic

Treat a China import as Chinese-only until its exact software build proves English support. Arabic is currently undocumented.

Confirm air-suspension coverage

Request UAE warranty wording for the triple-chamber suspension, rear steering and battery before ordering.

Plan on real range

The 1,400 km combined figure is CLTC. Speed, heat and payload will reduce it on Gulf roads.

Keys & Access

Driving Assist

Huawei ADS Ultra

L2+Not in Gulf

Announced with multiple LiDAR sensors for China; UAE activation, maps and functions need dealer confirmation.

Full-scenario automatic parking

Not in Gulf

Announced within the Huawei suite, but availability outside China is unconfirmed.

Safety

  • Independent crash rating

    No published Euro NCAP or independent Gulf result for Taishan was found by the review date.

  • CATL high-voltage battery

    Request battery health, isolation and charging-history reports for any import.

Quick Tasks

How do I X — quick tasks every owner should know.

Before paying a deposit

  1. Request the UAE trim sheet and software build
  2. Confirm AC/DC connector, warranty and app in writing
  3. Test voice languages on the actual showroom car

Test a China import

  1. Open Settings → Language and record the options
  2. Try the Mandarin wake phrase before every command
  3. Do not treat Arabic screen translation as proof of Arabic voice recognition

Hacks & Secrets

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

  • Tip

    Turn the language test into evidence

    On the showroom car, record the Language screen and software build, then test one climate command in Arabic, English and Mandarin. A display language is not enough; capture the assistant's actual response.

  • Tip

    Log a 5C session before trusting the peak

    When the car arrives, log start and end SOC, elapsed time, ambient temperature and charger power. The 20→80% in 12 minutes claim matters more than the theoretical 325 kW figure, and depends on battery conditioning and charger capability.

  • Gulf-Specific

    Get the master account transferred BEFORE the car ships

    The Voyah app binds to a Chinese number. Have the exporter transfer the account or authorize your number before shipping, with the language switched to English — far harder after Gulf arrival.

  • Hidden FeatureAdvanced

    The engineering menu password changes daily — here's the algorithm

    Voyah Free/Dreamer engineering menus use a date-based password rotating at midnight Beijing time (derived by column-wise addition of the year + month/day digits). Static fallbacks like “hellovoyah” work on some firmware or no-SIM units. The owners' community posts the daily code on Telegram, and there's an open-source generator on GitHub. Importers use it for language and region settings.

  • Hidden FeatureAdvanced

    Open the full Android settings on the Voyah head unit via ADB

    The infotainment runs Android — the full hidden Settings app launches via an ADB command. From there importers fix the default Chinese timezone, force-stop Chinese preloaded apps, and manage sideloaded APKs.
