Recently, a user of BYD shared a snapshot, revealing that the company had recently added the Huawei smart car solution– Huawei HiCar in its vehicle smart screen via an update.

As per the information, BYD released the latest OTA (over-the-air) update for BYD Han EV users. With this update, the company has introduced the Huawei HiCar Solution for improved user experience.

To be mentioned, the company has been approaching Huawei for the HiCar ecosystem for a long time to add it in the DiLink – the in-vehicle system of BYD. The DiLink 3.0 has been debuted in August 2020 with brand new features such as NFC mobile key and virtual assistant Xiao Di.

Speaking of Huawei HiCar, it established the smart connection between smartphone and car and provides various features. It is good enough to empower BYD’s DiLink, which is limited to in-car Bluetooth phones, radios, driving recorders, and some third-party apps.
