in my BYD, three fingers up the touch screen, temp goes up (or down if you drag down) You can adjust the fan speed if you're want with swipe three fingers right/left on the touch screen.

That said I've adjusted it maybe 3 times in my 14 month ownerships, that's the entirely point of climatecontrol and the buttons right there on the touch screen as well and without connected series I can prewarm or preheat the car fron the phone , i cant be assed but my HF does on a cold morning as well as turn the heated seats on

I can also say "Hey BYD my balls are cold"and it turns the seat heater on
