Is the BYD Dolphin's ADAS the same as the Atto 3?

The core DiPilot systems are shared — AEB, ICC, LKA, LDW, BSD, and RCTA all appear on both models. The Atto 3 adds RCTB (active rear braking) and the 360° Surround View Camera on higher trims, which the Dolphin does not offer. Calibration procedures for the shared systems are identical thanks to the common e-Platform 3.0. See all BYD models we calibrate

Does BYD use Bosch sensors like other brands?

No. BYD designs and manufactures its own camera, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. This means calibration requires BYD-compatible diagnostic tools — generic equipment built for Bosch or Continental sensors may not communicate correctly with the Dolphin's systems. We also calibrate the BYD Seal and BYD Sealion 7.

My Dolphin's cruise control stopped working after a front bumper respray — why?

If the bumper was removed and refitted during the respray, the front radar behind the bumper has likely shifted position. Even a fraction-of-a-degree change disables Intelligent Cruise Control and affects AEB accuracy. Our £349 Radar/Sensor Calibration restores both systems.

BYD Dolphin ADAS Calibration

The BYD Dolphin is BYD's entry-level hatchback in the UK – compact dimensions, competitive pricing, and a full suite of driver assistance systems that rely on proprietary BYD sensors. If your Dolphin's Lane Keep Assist or Forward Collision Warning is misbehaving after a windscreen swap, the camera behind the rearview mirror needs recalibration with BYD-specific equipment.

ADAS Systems on Your BYD Dolphin

The Dolphin (2023+ UK) runs on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 with these DiPilot systems:

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) – dual-input from front radar and windscreen camera
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) – visual and audible warning before AEB activates
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) – BYD's adaptive cruise using the front millimetre-wave radar behind the bumper
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) – camera-based, mounted behind the rearview mirror
Blind Spot Detection (BSD) – sensors in the rear quarter panels
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) – warns of approaching vehicles when reversing
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) – reads speed limits via the forward camera

As a compact hatchback, the Dolphin's shorter overhangs mean the front radar sits closer to potential impact zones in parking situations. The windscreen camera handles four separate systems – a single windscreen replacement affects all of them simultaneously.

Common Calibration Triggers for the BYD Dolphin

Windscreen replacement – the most common trigger: The Dolphin's forward camera controls LKA, LDW, TSR, and contributes to AEB. A new windscreen shifts the camera from its factory position. Every windscreen replacement requires static camera recalibration before these systems work again.

Front bumper damage: The Dolphin's compact dimensions make parking scrapes more likely. The front radar behind the bumper powers ICC and AEB – even minor bumper work can displace it. If Intelligent Cruise Control stops holding distance after bumper repair, the radar needs realignment.

Rear bumper repair affecting BSD: The Blind Spot Detection sensors sit in the rear quarter panels. Body shop repairs to the rear corners can shift these sensors enough to cause missed detections or false alerts during lane changes.
