Wondered if any one else has had this problem. My media system started turning itself off a couple of times when the stop/start activated or I changed radio channels using the touch screen. Would come back on after 4 mins or so. On a longer trip last week it turned itself off every hour or so for a few minutes then came back on. The following day it wouldn't come on at all and has been off since. Booked into the dealers on Thursday to get it looked at.

this is something SEAT are aware of, if happens again video it with your mobile then take the car to dealers and the media unit gets replaced under warranty

i had this in mine

Thanks for that. When I phoned the dealer the receptionist said that she didn't think they were aware of this problem. Will see what happens on Thursday....

Took to the dealers today. Turns out the media plus control system ( the box in the glove compartment ) has failed. Having to wait for a new one to be delivered and fitted.

Would be interesting to know what your new hardware and software numbers are on your new unit. When fitted could you post?

I have had the same (or similar) problem.

On several occassions now I have been cut off in mid conversation during a phone call and the media system has dropped the bluetooth connection. Most times the media system then shuts down completely and the screen goes blank!! No amount of pressing the power button brings it back to life.

I then have to wait between 1-4 minutes before it will switch itself back on and reboot itself.

It has been into my local SEAT dealer, where they say they updated the software but it has made no difference. It hasnt happened for a few weeks now but happened twice today in the space of 20 minutes.

Had the new media system fitted today, great to have some tunes back on. Nothing on the invoice about software numbers, only a part number SE5F0035858. If you know where/how to find what you are looking for let me know.
Just as well it was replaced under warranty, price ex vat / fitting was £794.71 !

It is! this is mine:

Device part no 5F0035858A
Hardware 040
Software 0421
Nav database 5F0919866E 0034 ECE2013/4

Later models had:

Device part no 5F0035858A
Hardware 040
Software 0425
Nav database 5F0919866F 0036 ECE2014

Looks like replacements are not upgrades

Thanks again

Looks more like the replacement has been sat on a shelf a long time.

It does seem that way. My car was registered in April 2013 so cant complain, though an updated system would have been nice after such an early failure. I hope this version is more robust

Glad I found this thread. Only had my car for three weeks (although 8 months old). The other morning I got in to go to work, started the engine and noticed that the reverse display didnt come on as usual. Pressed the on button and ...nothing. Completely dead and has been since. Booked in to the dealer on Saturday morning and will let you know the outcome.
