Cupra Connect 'blocked' by fleet operator

Well I think it is worth. Certainly if it's an EV with the remote controls. The cars are designed around connect services these days only if you live in a country where the service isnt available you wouldn't be getting software updates over the air, map updates or radio icon updates.

Yeah im new into EV's, this is the first one we've had so i thinking it might be worth the cash. I'm also in Scotland so im hoping i get all the software updates needed.

Yeah I've no idea. I would have expected Dealers to have the ability to do this prior to a sale. Call the Cupra Arnold Clark near me and the service dep didn't have a great deal of info on it other than bring it in to us and we can look at it. Cupra's live chat support was also rather useless and just sent me on a email trail.

They could have pushed the update that enabled it like cable and TV boxes. Having got the VIN pushed the update. Hidden hands. May be the call centre dont know exactly what their screens do. Like Virgin Media have you rolling around on the floor pulling the plug out, waiting x minutes and turning back on etc.

Not that I have an EV. One of the techniques is to warm the battery before charging, so thats a remove feature. I'd certainly start the AC off remotely before getting into it. One of the things that EV owners do so get into the car nicely warmed up.

I'm not sure if this version of the Born i have has the added heat pump to pre warm the battery. Yeah the Pre heating/cooling while plugged in is something i was wanting. Might be me but seems a bit cheeky to have to pay for that function.

Think the battery warming is separate. You'll know if you haven't got a heat pump the car will be cold. Probably a google to see whether it was a with or without. This is where getting hold of the build codes come in since you can see what the car was built against. Can be quite informative.
