Quick Start (Use Pre-built APK)

Download the latest APK from GitHub Releases and install it directly on your BYD head unit.

1. Prerequisites

  • Ensure Wireless ADB is enabled on your device before launching the app.

2. Initial Configuration

  1. Authorize ADB: On first launch, accept the ADB authentication prompt on your device screen.

  2. Background Persistence: In Settings, ensure the "Disable Autostart" toggle is unchecked. This is critical for reliable background operation.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Hard Reboot Required After the first installation and initial run, you must hard reboot the device: Press and hold the Volume Down button for 5 seconds. Wait for the system to fully restart. This step is necessary to finalize the installation.

3. Network & Tunnel Setup

Option A: Dedicated Wi-Fi Hotspot (Recommended)

  • Keep the Sing-box Proxy disabled.

  • Directly enable your preferred tunnel (Zrok or Cloudflared).

Option B: Public / BYD SIM

  • Toggle the "Public" switch at the top right of the dashboard.

  • Go to Daemon View and verify the Sing-box Proxy Daemon is running.

  • Once verified, enable your preferred tunnel (Zrok or Cloudflared).

Telegram Notifications Setup

  1. Message @BotFather on Telegram → /newbot → follow prompts → get your bot token

  2. Message @userinfobot/start → copy your Chat ID

  3. In OverDrive: Settings → Notifications → enter bot token & chat ID


Remote Access

Three options for viewing your car's cameras remotely:

Local Network (LAN)

Access at http://<car-ip>:8080 when on the same WiFi. Zero setup, fastest streaming.

Cloudflare Tunnel

Access from anywhere via https://<random>.trycloudflare.com. No port forwarding, HTTPS by default. Video streaming can be slow due to Cloudflare limitations.

Zrok Tunnel (Recommended)

Free, open-source tunneling with no bandwidth limits at https://<your-share>.share.zrok.io. Best for video streaming.

Quick Zrok setup:

  1. Sign up at zrok.io

  2. Get your invite token from email

  3. Enter token in OverDrive settings

  4. Done — tunnel URL is auto-generated
