THIS MIGHT HELP SOME WITH SIDELOAD ISSUES - Finally got around to having another go - after plugging my phone into the front USB port to charge it, I realised that the front USB port did not work. Tried the rear USB and It charges ok. So logic says the front USB is not working. (Tried the rear port for the side loading but no go). Pulled the side cover off for the "hidden" usb port access but can't see where the front port connects to the brains without pulling the car apart. Then I noticed that I had previously installed an SD card in the SD slot. Why not pull that out in case in case?? SD out, plugged the USB stick in the front port and up came password screen!! Tried the 6125 password but no go. Tried the GHY and it accepted it. Side loaded all the apps I had on the stick, but G/Maps would not stick. So used Gbox to load G/Maps directly no problem. Thanks to all for the videos and replies.
Weid that the SD card caused the USB to not function. Not seen that before, but thanks for sharing anyway, hopefully it will help others if they find this comment in the future.
Hi, Quick question, Is there anyway you can mirror your iPhone onto the BYD Atto3 screen? I don’t mean mirror certain videos and that I mean completely mirror the phone? I’m able to sideload apps thanks to you so are you aware of an app or any other way of doing it? Again thanks for all your help!
I put the USB stick in and password and it allows me to check what apps I want but when I check one and click install it gets stuck on the “installation progress 0/1” no matter how long I wait? Any reason why I’m getting that? I’m on the V1.6.1 version with the GYH password
@@XingersTechLounge1 I tried RUclips, I tried Netflix and I tried Waze but I just stays on the progress 0/1 screen, I’m I’ve just brought a new USB and I’m putting APK’s on it now as we speak so I’ll try that and let you no how I get on 🤞🏼
@@XingersTechLounge1Ok so I managed to install RUclips, App Manager and Netflix, RUclips closes as soon as you open it… Netflix opens but doesn’t let you log in even though I tried 3 different accounts but that one doesn’t really matter and finally App Manager opens and is fine but I can’t do anything within it for instance I tried to uninstall OTA and it say Cannot uninstall for both OTA apps? RUclips & App Manager are the 2 apps that I really need, Do you have any ideas? Thanks for your videos and assistance so far your a gent! Edit: BTW Just before RUclips closes it says “Can’t run without Google Play store which is not supported by your device”
I install old versiom of gbox and after that i install new version..now gbox is not working saying multimedia doesnt support it...i install back old version.still not working
All working now mate thanks, Quick question though, If an OTA update comes through do I get an option to except or not or will it update itself without my consent? Only because App Manager won’t let me uninstall OTA and I don’t want to loose the apps and progress I’ve made with it all
I put the USB inside, but the message with the password doesn't pop up... tried many different USBs (it worked for me one year ago). Have you any thoughts about the issue?
You can try using it inside an Android emulator like GBox, where Google Play Services (GPS) are present. Otherwise, there's no workaround as BYD Android OS does not have GPS.

Hi Wayne, "third party apps" is correct spelling. "I have a PC, memory stick, internet but can you list the files I need to first download to the PC and also name of apk transfer file?" - can you please elaborate on this? I don't quite understand the question sorry! All you need to put on the USB is Android APK files, they always end with "xxx.apk".

Is it approved from BYD to be done this way ?Heaps thanks
@@XingersTechLounge1 Awesome. I think the key app is google maps for myself. Does this method allow the app to be updated automatically, or will it require a sideload for each update.
Can't install that using Aurora. Install GBox (or any other Android emulator) www.gboxlab.com/ Then install YT Music from this GBox link: www.gboxlab.com/AppAvailability.html Alternatively you can try using Vanced Manager to install RUclips Music Vanced: vancedmanager.com/

Download emulator like GBox, install it into the car and set it up, then go to gboxlab website, app availability section, and download the YT Music APK from there. It will work.
@XingersTechLounge1 I have the gbox app but I want the applications which I have downloaded to be visible on my home screen. I don't want to go I to g box everything. Do you have solution to this?
No solutions possible for non-Chinese speaking customers. There is an application that will turn the cameras on in the car and record the screen, which sort of achieves what you are asking. However the setup is excessively difficult, even for a Chinese speaker like myself.
If it isn't available then you don't have the actual dash cam installed. Import it from China (Taobao/Aliexpress). Once you install it the Android OS will automatically show the DVR app.
thank Xin for support video. i am able to install and run some apps but not RUclips. i guess it says google service required, do we have any way around for this.
I’ve followed your instructions and it doesn’t work for me. I don’t get asked for a password. Then when trying to install it says for your driving safety and system stability…. I’m on system version 13.1.32.2310180.1
Excellent. I have this working and can sideload several apps. However, something has gone wrong with my BYD version of Spotify. I cannot install Spotify updates from Aurora, and native Spotify will not open. Is there an APK where I can reinstall it? Also, I love Android Auto (Spotify is working fine) but very frustrated it runs in full screen mode, hence looking at some side loading. Is there a fix for AA not to be in full screen mode (cannot see fan etc )? I am running 1.6. Have not loaded GBOX (need to to try and get PlugShare working).
Thanks for all of your great videos. Tomorrow I will pick up my Atto 3. I tried your Icloud links bit they didn't work. Can you update the links? Thanks for your great work!
Hi Xingyu good job with share all the information. I have just a question where I can find the driving recorder app because in my region its not available, thank you
If it isn't available then you don't have the actual dash cam installed. Import it from China (Taobao/Aliexpress). Once you install it the Android OS will automatically show the DVR app.
@@XingersTechLounge1 Its not available in Europe because the GDPR the entity which do the regulation and I confirmed with salesman the dashcam is installed but app was removed because this regulation. So I was trying to find the app to check if works
@talicovv4463 That's not possible. From all accounts I have heard, the physical dashcam is NOT installed for ANY European models. Anyhow, use a File Manager app like App Manager and search for BYDcamera.apk
Sorry, this is the only high capacity cloud solution that I use. It is the most convenient for me. At this point in time I'm not looking to host the data on other cloud services.
Thanks a lot for the video, instructions are super clear. I am having a problem tough, maybe you might help. I am able to install whichever apk file with no issues. However none of them can connect the internet. I get always the same error message saying that the app cannot work since there is no data connection. Data connection is def available as all default apps connect with no issues. Thanks a lot in advance
What car do you have? It sounds like you have exhausted your data allowance. The car's default apps use the data via APN - these apps can use unlimited data but do not use up your allowance.
For RUclips, try Vanced Manager. Install it, then open it. Inside there should be YT Vanced + MicroG. Install both and it should work. Completely independent of Google Services.
It is because Netflix changed some back end code. Android 10 cannot be used anymore. If you have already signed in before the change happened, then you are OK. But, if you have not signed in, you cannot do it anymore. BYD (at least for Australia) is working on official Netflix implementation.
Any thoughts on how to do this for the Dolphin? Prompt for the password is not showing for me and yes I formatted correctly and have correct folder name.
You're doing something wrong because this method works for Dolphin. Is the USB viewable from within the car's File Manager app? Otherwise, you may be using the wrong USB port etc.
@@XingersTechLounge1yes it’s viewable and I can get to the folder but get an error “For your driving safety and system stability, please do not install third party apps”
A few other Dolphin users have reported the same. I'm now investigating what's going on. When you plug the USB in, a non-dismissible popup should fill your screen, there's no missing it. You're getting the third party apps warning because that's default behaviour.
@@XingersTechLounge1 thanks. Just to clarify the steps. I had no success formatting the USB with Windows default disk tool, so downloade Rufus. This made the USB able to be seen by the Dolphin. I have then made a folder named "third party apps" (exactly) and am able to see this on the Dolphin. I go into the third party apps folder and hit on the APK and receive that message ("For your driving safety and system stability, please do not install third party apps"). Do I need to be using a specific APK in the first instance? This was just a random one I picked.
@codycooper2498 No, if everything is set up correctly, as soon as you plug in the USB, there's a massive popup with a white background asking if you want to install the apps saved on the USB. There is no "going into the folder" if that make sense. There is an app in the OS that detects USBs with the right format. Clearly this app has been updated to detect a different name or structure. This is what I will be investigating. Cheers.
Hi! I wonder if u know if it’s easy to remove the apps, for example if u are only renting the car for a few years, will I be able to make it go back to factory new without any of the mods I put in to it?
It is as simple as pressing and holding on the app icon, then uninstalling. Alternatively, there's a "reset to factory default" which wipes everything, and sets the media back to when you first picked the car up.
Hi! Thank you for your video. This method and password works with BYD Dolphin as well. Question: 1. I installed Gbox 1.4.4, but I can only get RUclips working. When I click on other apps inside it, the Google Playstore logo appears and that's it. It is just stuck there. Anyway to make other apps inside Gbox work? 2. I tried logging in my account on RUclips, but cannot. It always say network problem, but I can watch videos just fine. Were you able to login your account? Any tips on how to do it? Or is this the limitation of Gbox? Thank you so much!
1. Try updating GBox. Sideload it straight from GBOXLAB website. Latest version is 1.5.X or 1.6.X 2. I actually use RUclips Vanced & Vanced Manager. No need for GBox and is more lightweight than traditional YT app.
Hi mate, I have followed your tutorial for sideloading and it worked Thanks for that mate I struggle to make RUclips working After downloading from Arura it doesn’t work at all When downloading from GBox, it works but buffer the video in 40sec from working. So any video played, it stops in 40 sec with circle loading in the middle Any idea on how to get the app working ? Any download instructions or additions I could do ? Alternatively, I can tun RUclips through Firefox, but I am not able to create a shortcut on home screen for easy access Any suggestions mate will bring highly appreciated Thanks
RUclips requires Google Play Services (GPS) to work. Our car screen's don't come with GPS. Look in to RUclips Vanced or RUclips ReVanced. I personally use Revanced.
1.6 and 1.7 is meaningless. 1.7 in Australia = 1.5 in Europe. Don't speak in 1.X language. Find the actual version number. Starts with 13.1.32. Settings > DiLink/System Settings > Software > Software detail > View > System version
Thankyou for the video, I managed to get the app installed and all working except for youtube music. It starts and then it flashes a brief message (too fast to read) and then crashes. Any ideas?
You need to use an emulator like GBox, or use a modified APK that doesn't use Google services. ^ applies to all similar apps that need Google services.
It does not. Short of rooting the media (infotainment) system which I will never be making a video on, no LEGITIMATE apps installed via this method can do any harm to the media screen. It has zero relevance to any warranty claims. Worst case scenario is you are forced to perform a factory reset, which would be the first one a "dealership" would do when diagnosing infotainment related issues. This then removed all apps and settings, including sideloaded applications. Hope this makes sense.
@@XingersTechLounge1 - Unfortunately this @XingersTechLounge1 @XingersTechLounge1 vor 2 Tagen Try GHY0613byd doesn't work - byd6125f neither - for German BYD Atto 3 ...can you help??
You will need to downgrade. 2310 by default does not support any form of sideloading. Please check my other video if you are interested in learning how.
Not sure what you mean by that. I have an iCloud share link in the description of all my videos. I also reference this in the actual video itself. Otherwise, use apkmirror or apkpure websites to source APK. ALWAYS use a virus scanner like virustotal to scan each file for viruses, before you install it!
@XingersTechLounge1 Hi, I have watched the video (thank you) and I have tried sideloading netflix and plex onto my Atto3. I have an issue with netflix, as the newer versions need google play services to work, and the byd doesn't have this. But I have just loaded Plex and every time I open it, it just auto force quits. Would you have any ideas why?
@cameronsweeney4594 have you got it in the right filesystem? I did a quick format to fat32 the first time and it didn't read it. Needed a full format before setting up folder structure :)
Hi, since I downloaded version 1.62, I can install a TP app i.e. Spotify, but then the next day the app disappeared. Also, I can connect only call via the Phone's BT not audio. Any ideas please? thanks
You'll just need to reinstall the app again. Not sure why it disappeared, haven't seen that before. Not sure what you mean by the Bluetooth issue sorry. Try changing your mode to Bluetooth in the car if you want music over BT.

my usb doesn't appear automatically after being connected. What can I do to install apps please help me!
You've not set up your folder structure correctly.
- Check USB format type
- Ensure folder structure is correct
@@XingersTechLounge1 bro, my version is too new. This is the reason, I got it. Are u looking for solutions, I'm looking forward to solve my problem!
Can you install apps directly from Aurora store? Is there some work around for the "for your safety don't install 3rd party apps"
Check my other video on how to remove this error.
You need to sideload PackageInstallerUnlocked.APK
So download with Aurora store the use package manager unlocked?
You need to instal PackageInstallerUnlocked.APK first. Watch my other video.
Does this method work on the BYD Seagull? If so which usb port?
Not sure but probably USB-A port.
Could you extract and upload the DVR app? Its not available in europe.
If it isn't available then you don't have the actual dash cam installed.
Import it from China (Taobao/Aliexpress). Once you install it the Android OS will automatically show the DVR app.
Not working on seal (aka atto 4)
Tried SilentInstaller and third party apps....
What's your version number starting with 13.1.32?
thank Xin for support video. i am able to install and run some apps but not RUclips. i guess it says google service required, do we have any way around for this.
Please check pastebin link for share 4 URL
I’ve followed your instructions and it doesn’t work for me. I don’t get asked for a password. Then when trying to install it says for your driving safety and system stability….
I’m on system version 13.1.32.2310180.1
You need to downgrade first.
2310 does not support USB sideloading.
Watch my downgrade video.
Excellent. I have this working and can sideload several apps. However, something has gone wrong with my BYD version of Spotify. I cannot install Spotify updates from Aurora, and native Spotify will not open. Is there an APK where I can reinstall it?
Also, I love Android Auto (Spotify is working fine) but very frustrated it runs in full screen mode, hence looking at some side loading. Is there a fix for AA not to be in full screen mode (cannot see fan etc )?
I am running 1.6. Have not loaded GBOX (need to to try and get PlugShare working).
Can you elaborate on "cannot install updates from Aurora"?
Why can't you? Is there an error msg?
@@XingersTechLounge1 Spotify will not open. Tried to update again via Aurora but receive a message saying incompatible with installed version.
Hi which version of ABRP works please 4.4.1 will not show the map it’s blank.
When the app opens it always asks for TTS engine needed which I have installed
Sorry I haven't personally tested ABRP,
It probably needs another dependency.
Have you tried using it within an emulator i.e. GBox?
@@XingersTechLounge1 hi thanks I have tried gbox doesn’t work I’ll try different versions a see if I can get maps to work
Thanks for all of your great videos. Tomorrow I will pick up my Atto 3. I tried your Icloud links bit they didn't work. Can you update the links? Thanks for your great work!
I've just updated the links. Check pastebin link again.
Hi Xingyu good job with share all the information. I have just a question where I can find the driving recorder app because in my region its not available, thank you
If it isn't available then you don't have the actual dash cam installed.
Import it from China (Taobao/Aliexpress). Once you install it the Android OS will automatically show the DVR app.
@@XingersTechLounge1 Its not available in Europe because the GDPR the entity which do the regulation and I confirmed with salesman the dashcam is installed but app was removed because this regulation. So I was trying to find the app to check if works
@talicovv4463 That's not possible.
From all accounts I have heard, the physical dashcam is NOT installed for ANY European models.
Anyhow, use a File Manager app like App Manager and search for BYDcamera.apk
Great full video
But can you please share these app to another's share cloud like google for example.
Because i couldn't get in the i cloud share
Sorry, I only use iCloud share. You will need to create an Apple ID if you want access to the files.
Sideload is no longer possible on Byd Dolphin after 1.2 SW update it won't work with. The" Third party apps "method.
Try
SilentInstaller
As folder name instead.
HI. Do you have an option to access share without using icloud at all? Cheers
Sorry, this is the only high capacity cloud solution that I use. It is the most convenient for me.
At this point in time I'm not looking to host the data on other cloud services.
@@XingersTechLounge1 Thank you
Thanks a lot for the video, instructions are super clear.
I am having a problem tough, maybe you might help. I am able to install whichever apk file with no issues. However none of them can connect the internet. I get always the same error message saying that the app cannot work since there is no data connection.
Data connection is def available as all default apps connect with no issues.
Thanks a lot in advance
What car do you have?
It sounds like you have exhausted your data allowance.
The car's default apps use the data via APN - these apps can use unlimited data but do not use up your allowance.
When trying to enter password I have an alpha numeric keyboard pop up and I can't seem to select letters. Any ideas?

Hi, can i copy the owners manual across and then use adobe to open it?
Also .... Google Play Service.... I've copied it across ( I think?) ... but still no youtube access .... says it missing?
For RUclips, try Vanced Manager.
Install it, then open it. Inside there should be YT Vanced + MicroG. Install both and it should work. Completely independent of Google Services.
Not sure if Adobe works on BYD's, haven't personally tested.
Hey Xinger … does the SilentInstaller folder work on the BYD Seal?
Depends on your version.
Which 13.1.33 version do you use?
Thanks for this. I tried netflix but strangely enough cannot sign into netflix from the car. Tells me to check user/password which are correct.
It is because Netflix changed some back end code. Android 10 cannot be used anymore.
If you have already signed in before the change happened, then you are OK. But, if you have not signed in, you cannot do it anymore.
BYD (at least for Australia) is working on official Netflix implementation.
@@XingersTechLounge1 Thanks. Will uninstall than and wait for an updated one. I am in EU and just bought the BYD
Any thoughts on how to do this for the Dolphin? Prompt for the password is not showing for me and yes I formatted correctly and have correct folder name.
You're doing something wrong because this method works for Dolphin.
Is the USB viewable from within the car's File Manager app?
Otherwise, you may be using the wrong USB port etc.
@@XingersTechLounge1yes it’s viewable and I can get to the folder but get an error “For your driving safety and system stability, please do not install third party apps”
A few other Dolphin users have reported the same. I'm now investigating what's going on.
When you plug the USB in, a non-dismissible popup should fill your screen, there's no missing it.
You're getting the third party apps warning because that's default behaviour.
@@XingersTechLounge1 thanks. Just to clarify the steps. I had no success formatting the USB with Windows default disk tool, so downloade Rufus. This made the USB able to be seen by the Dolphin. I have then made a folder named "third party apps" (exactly) and am able to see this on the Dolphin. I go into the third party apps folder and hit on the APK and receive that message ("For your driving safety and system stability, please do not install third party apps").
Do I need to be using a specific APK in the first instance? This was just a random one I picked.
@codycooper2498 No, if everything is set up correctly, as soon as you plug in the USB, there's a massive popup with a white background asking if you want to install the apps saved on the USB.
There is no "going into the folder" if that make sense.
There is an app in the OS that detects USBs with the right format. Clearly this app has been updated to detect a different name or structure. This is what I will be investigating. Cheers.
Hi! I wonder if u know if it’s easy to remove the apps, for example if u are only renting the car for a few years, will I be able to make it go back to factory new without any of the mods I put in to it?
It is as simple as pressing and holding on the app icon, then uninstalling.
Alternatively, there's a "reset to factory default" which wipes everything, and sets the media back to when you first picked the car up.
Thanks for the fast respond 😊
Hi! Thank you for your video. This method and password works with BYD Dolphin as well.
Question:
1. I installed Gbox 1.4.4, but I can only get RUclips working. When I click on other apps inside it, the Google Playstore logo appears and that's it. It is just stuck there. Anyway to make other apps inside Gbox work?
2. I tried logging in my account on RUclips, but cannot. It always say network problem, but I can watch videos just fine. Were you able to login your account? Any tips on how to do it? Or is this the limitation of Gbox?
Thank you so much!
1. Try updating GBox. Sideload it straight from GBOXLAB website. Latest version is 1.5.X or 1.6.X
2. I actually use RUclips Vanced & Vanced Manager. No need for GBox and is more lightweight than traditional YT app.
@@XingersTechLounge1 Thank you so much for your kind reply.
Hi, I did everything as you said but I guess this method doesn't work with BYD Chazor
or am I wrong?
With the folder structure of the USB, does your car even ask for password?
@@XingersTechLounge1 No, there was nothing
@islomnizomiddinov638 Is your folder structure correct?
@@XingersTechLounge1 yes, unit size -exFat and folder name is "third party apps"
Erase your usb and do it again@@islomnizomiddinov638
Hi mate,
I have followed your tutorial for sideloading and it worked
Thanks for that mate
I struggle to make RUclips working
After downloading from Arura it doesn’t work at all
When downloading from GBox, it works but buffer the video in 40sec from working.
So any video played, it stops in 40 sec with circle loading in the middle
Any idea on how to get the app working ?
Any download instructions or additions I could do ?
Alternatively, I can tun RUclips through Firefox, but I am not able to create a shortcut on home screen for easy access
Any suggestions mate will bring highly appreciated
Thanks
RUclips requires Google Play Services (GPS) to work.
Our car screen's don't come with GPS.
Look in to RUclips Vanced or RUclips ReVanced. I personally use Revanced.
how do you know if you are on 1.6 or 1.7 just got my atto 3 yesterday
1.6 and 1.7 is meaningless.
1.7 in Australia = 1.5 in Europe.
Don't speak in 1.X language.
Find the actual version number. Starts with 13.1.32.
Settings > DiLink/System Settings > Software > Software detail > View > System version
So as a iPhone user, can I not install third part apps?
If you have a Macbook, this video applies as well.
When i use the password 2021232 for my byd v1.0 it says error.
Which password should use for v1.0?
20211231
not 20211232
Thankyou for the video, I managed to get the app installed and all working except for youtube music. It starts and then it flashes a brief message (too fast to read) and then crashes. Any ideas?
You need to use an emulator like GBox, or use a modified APK that doesn't use Google services.
^ applies to all similar apps that need Google services.
@@XingersTechLounge1 thankyou
does this void the warranty or anything noteable
or should third party apps be removed when taken in for servicing etc
It does not.
Short of rooting the media (infotainment) system which I will never be making a video on, no LEGITIMATE apps installed via this method can do any harm to the media screen.
It has zero relevance to any warranty claims.
Worst case scenario is you are forced to perform a factory reset, which would be the first one a "dealership" would do when diagnosing infotainment related issues. This then removed all apps and settings, including sideloaded applications.
Hope this makes sense.
@@XingersTechLounge1 Makes sense, cheers for the reply and informative videos

You will need to downgrade.
2310 by default does not support any form of sideloading.
Please check my other video if you are interested in learning how.
When it asks to input the password, I get a phone pad, can't do letters rip
20211231 was the password, found it somewhere
That means it is the 2021.... password
Read description please.
Could you share all the working apk files too, please?
Not sure what you mean by that. I have an iCloud share link in the description of all my videos. I also reference this in the actual video itself.
Otherwise, use apkmirror or apkpure websites to source APK.
ALWAYS use a virus scanner like virustotal to scan each file for viruses, before you install it!

@XingersTechLounge1 Hi, I have watched the video (thank you) and I have tried sideloading netflix and plex onto my Atto3. I have an issue with netflix, as the newer versions need google play services to work, and the byd doesn't have this. But I have just loaded Plex and every time I open it, it just auto force quits. Would you have any ideas why?
Netflix no longer works. It's a Netflix backend issue. I cannot help.
For Plex, try other versions.

You'll just need to reinstall the app again. Not sure why it disappeared, haven't seen that before.
Not sure what you mean by the Bluetooth issue sorry. Try changing your mode to Bluetooth in the car if you want music over BT.
