What Is An OTA Update?
11 July 2026
An OTA Update, or Over-the-Air Update, updates your car's software over the internet without needing to visit a service center, keeping the car up to date with the latest features and improvements.
1. Adds features. The system may gain new capabilities or a refined menu that's easier to use.
2. Fixes bugs. Helps resolve certain issues the system previously had.
3. Improves stability. The system runs more smoothly and responsively after updating.
4. Strengthens security. Updated software can help make the driving experience even better.
5. Convenient. Check for, download, and install updates through the car's own process, no service center visit required.
What should you do before updating? 1) Park somewhere safe. 2) Make sure the battery has enough charge. 3) Check the car's internet connection or Wi-Fi. 4) Read the version details before installing.
In summary, OTA updates keep a BYD ready to go and continuously improving. Update details may vary by model, version, and release timing.
