As promised
Ive just had another call from SEAT customer service.
Been told that a solution is under test at Milton Keynes and should be rolled out via the dealers towards the end of this year and this affects all VAG vehicles fitted with the same media system
Was advised to keep in contact with the dealer and should be informed when solution available.
Joe2641 - If I was you I'd still call SEAT customer service and log the fault. The more that they log the quicker they may sort
Hi dulux72 - just wondered if you have had any updates on this issue? Just got my MY16 FR and (as expected from reading your posts) I have the same issue where cannot connect Apple products via the USB. Not a major issue as Bluetooth and SD card, etc. work well, but would prefer the functionality of iPod for playlists, etc.
Any additional info gratefully received.
Thanks
I picked up my Cupra from new last Friday. It has Full Link but if I want to just use the iPod using the Media Function it is not recognised. It is very annoying because I usually use Waze for everywhere that I go (to avoid traffic in London) and the CarPlay is a bit of a pain in the backside as overtime you open music or anything else it switches it on the phone as well and kicks you out of Waze so I would rather use the Seat interface rather than the CarPlay one.
Any updates on this would be appreciated. Car is going in to dealer on Friday at the SatNav doesn't work at all since being collected so I will ask them about it then.

nf2029 - You have more functionallity than I do so at least thats some progress
I'm currently away in the US on business but will chase SEAT when I get home.
I've not heard anything further from the dealer but did receive this email yesterday.

As you say, for those of us without Full Link the manual clearly indicates that iPod is compatible - but isn't. I will be interested to see if what dulux72 was told by SCS is proven to be correct - i.e. there is a fix coming. Unfortunately I am slightly cynical and get the feeling that paying £199 for the Full Link upgrade will be the 'fix'........but I might be wrong.
Pardon my ignorance, but how does having full link help with USB / IPod connectivity?
I picked up my MY 2016 FR with Tech pack last weekend and I have the 'Device Not Recognised problem with mine too
I was planning on telling my dealer about the issue during the 'courtesy call' I was supposed to be getting last Tuesday, still waiting for that..........................

I believe from the various posts earlier in this thread that those that have Full Link have no problems connecting Apple devices via the USB. I think I will also have to raise this with my dealer (also awaiting that call 2 weeks after promised.....)

Yes it is retrofit at £199. It is available now from Seat dealers.
