DiPlay on DiLink 5: Tested Features and Mixed Car Reports

Available evidence

PR #8 verifies wired media keys on DiLink 5.0 / Android 12 / eng.build.20251111 and long-press Siri over car hotspot on eng.build.20260118, with iPhone 15 Pro / reported iOS 27.0. Car model is not identified there.

The 0.2.8 release names a BYD Tang / DiLink 5.0 / iPhone 15 Pro / reported iOS 27 for new-feature candidate testing. It does not identify a complete transport/Android matrix or separately test the final APK.

Seal 06 #53 reports wireless music stutter on 0.2.7; #57 compares successful XS Max USB and failed 13 Pro USB on the same car. Both reports are from one reporter, not two independent vehicle validations.

What to try next

Use the compatibility checker with your own system values. Keep unknown fields unknown. For wireless, try the current built-in hotspot setup first when available; compare USB to isolate transport problems.

A related report can guide troubleshooting but cannot confirm your firmware. Submit a complete result if your combination is missing.

Changes and checks in 0.2.11

Advanced vehicle data under Location keeps the DiLink 5.0 default and adds explicit legacy detection. Its bounded read-only probe needs authorized network ADB; only accepted fields enable their battery, wheel-speed and parked-video controls (PR #158/#173).

Location reporting stays off until precise location is granted; changing it reconnects an active session. Vehicle controls now live in Location → Advanced vehicle data; the separate BYD ADB card controls hotspot startup. Saved legacy fields require acceptance before becoming runtime readings.

Changes and checks in 0.2.12

Virtual 16:9 maps support compatible launchers without a physical cluster. Experimental DiLink 3/4 routes add scoped cluster handling and retryable stock-state restoration; DiLink 5/5.1 keeps priority. No DiLink 3 windshield HUD or verified DiLink 4 HUD profile is claimed (PR #171/#182/#187/#213).

Custom turn cards add 30%–95% sizing, opacity and phone-supplied arrival data. Unknown/expired guidance clears. Supported dashboard contents switch live with delivery checks; incompatible layout changes still reconnect (PR #193/#232).

Optional wheel-map zoom and main-screen joystick are off by default. Configure keys while parked; call/media actions and matched press/release handling remain. Route and session checks reject commands for old phones or streams (PR #214/#231).

Retest repaired DiLink 3/4 cluster routes, scan recovery, wheel modes and firmware-specific hotspot startup. General stutter, calls/Siri/microphone, iOS 15 startup and colour/theme reports still need fresh current-device evidence.

Changes and checks in 0.2.13

DiLink 4 native cluster casting and picture controls improve; contributor confirmation covers a 2022 Seal/DiLink 4/Android 10. DiLink 3 projection has checked recovery. Turn cards retain their two-minute expiry, map scale adds 125%, and battery/wheel-service recovery is scoped. Independent DiLink 3 call keys/dashboard cards are off by default; stock idle restoration is not a prior-state snapshot (PR #243/#260/#265/#285/#296/#297/#304/#306).

Retest Android 9 P2P, model-specific cluster restoration, hotspot repair and call/audio paths on the target firmware. Buffered music still needs physical pause/seek/navigation/call/Siri checks; contributor setups do not validate the complete signed release.
