Hi all,

We have an issue with the driver alert reminder on our BYD Shark.

The issue is that the audible reminder starts to alarm some 30 seconds after the car has been turned on and you are driving.

This means that you then have to find your driver ID tag (which could be around your neck) - and swipe the reader to stop it beeping. Even if you swipe when you get in it sill alarms later.

We have been in discussions with our reseller without much success other than to suggest we tinker with the settings - their response below:

The BYD Shark 6 currently lacks full vehicle-data support on the platform, which causes the ignition state to report inconsistently, especially when the vehicle operates in electric mode. 

A complete and permanent resolution will require formal vehicle platform support for the Shark 6.

In the interim, as a mitigation step to help bridge Driver ID reminders delays, you can test setting the NFC timer to a higher threshold value to accommodate the short ignition cycles.

I am wondering if anyone out there has BYD Sharks and a driver ID system and can either suggest a setting or some other resolution.

Thanks, Craig
