upon reading the manuals when i picked my '57 fr tdi up i was excited to read there was a usb port in the storage locker under the passenger seat - after 10 mins trying to work out how to open the damn thing i got it open and found .... nothing, the inside of the box!
it may be there just don't ask how i got it open, because i still don't know and haven't tried since!
I don't think they have USB only AUX, my 07 or 08 plate has USB.
Thats where its supposed to be but I've never seen any car with them, both mines was FRs and like I say they didn't have them. They had the storage thing but was empty. Im thinking has its VAG I'm thinking its a similar book to the Golf so maybe they had them and the Leon didn't, I've had this issue before with other things and Seat told me some of the functions are not available on the leon. Dunno if its true, you know what dealers are like, one will give you advise and another will tell you its wrong.I've just had a look under the passenger's seat and there is a small storage area that opens up from the front, but there's nothing in there and no USB/iPod/iPhone dock. Is this where it is supposed to be? I've had a torch in and around the driver's and passenger's seat and cannot see any USB or iPhone/iPod connection.
Were they not on 2008 (58) FR models? I have the TDi (170bhp).
This would be gutting to find out that I have the car that doesn't have the connection.

Mine was an 07, then 08 now 10 plate soon to be 62 reg all have aux its only the 10 plate thats had the usb whice ive never used.
Pre-face lift FRs came with the Aux-in (headphone socket) as standard.
Options in leiu of the Aux-in were:
USB socket under the drivers seat, in a cubby hole
OR
Ipod connector
You can only have one of these so if you've got the Aux-in, you don't have the USB or the Ipod connector. These were paid for options so if the original owner of your car was too much of a cheapskate, then you're outta luck.
(As the person who spec'd his 58 plate FR TDI with every option under the sun except 18" wheels,sunroof and satnav....)
Anyone know what the max memory size is for the USB stick and the SD card?
I don't want to buy a big one of each and find they won't work.
