Screen Swap
- Thread starter Mr Pig
- Start date
I don't know. The Cupra is a 2015 with the smaller screen. It does not have Carplay etc. My 2016 FR is the slightly larger screen and it does have Carplay.
I'm not bothered about the connectivity, I mostly just listen to DAB radio and use the satnav in the car. I just think the screen is a little small now I'm used to the larger one. We also have a facelift car with the biggest screen and no direct access buttons and I don't like that. Taking away the buttons and proximity sensor makes usability considerably worse in my opinion.
We had the same small screen on the 2014 SE which was the first Leon we had. I agree, it's something I can live with but used screens only cost £100-ish so if it's a straight swap I'd do it.
Car also has optional heated black leather seats which I'm not a fan of. Don't like leather. Too hot, too cold and you slide around on it. I think the standard Cupra seats are much nicer. Apart from that the car's good. I'm confident it's not been boy racered and that's a big deal.
I suspect that being a 2015 model that it will have MIB1 unit, can't update the maps easily.
Seat dealer in Stoke-on-Trent gave me a more up to date nav SD card to what I already had. I plugged it in n it said the data wasn’t readable. They took the card back, refunded me n said the card I already had was the most up to date SD card…
I've gone off this car anyway. Looking at a younger one now.
The car looked solid to be fair but it has black leather seats, an optional extra, but I much prefer the standard alacantra, or whatever it is called.
The 2015 will have an MIB1 infotainment, and unfortunately isn't practically updatable as far as mapping. The MIB1 has a car with AT designation.
The newer ones have the MIB2, these take AS cards, which are updatable, but an MIB1 card will not read an AS card

Thank you but it's irrelevant now as I've bought a 2018 Cupra. Got the big screen ;0)

You also cannot use an MIB2 display with MIB1, you'd need to upgrade the full system ( kits are available on our website www.eastyorkshireretrofits.co.uk)

I know, my wife already has a face lift FR.
I'm not going to keep the Cupra though. I shouldn't have bought it and once I get the service items that are due done I'll be selling it.
I had an MiB2 system with the larger screen fitted to my 2013 fr184(Mib1 originally)six months ago.Being able to use google maps or waze instead of the standard factory satnav is the most impressive improvement.
