With Radio/Media selected in your central display between the speedo and rev counter, use the scroll wheel on the RHS of the steering wheel to rotate through the options stored then press the scroll wheel in to change to that selection.

With your radio on and visible in the cars main display you can use the next and previous rocker switch on the left hand side of the steering wheel to skip through your stored stations in the same way that would change tracks on a CD or on MP3's stored on the SDHC card slot.

To demist windows, select both the heating element buttons and have them illuminated. However in the Air con settings accessible via your VDU, you will find an option for having an auxiliary heating element come on in the A/C system during demist or Hi position heat requests, and his need to be enabled.





I found that doing this demisted my car in just a minute or so, much better than all me previous company cars.

Grease marks on buttons, I treated all my dashboard plastics with 303 Aerospace Protectant, 18 quid for 16floz trigger spray Amazon. Leaves a matt finish that resists UV fade, cracking, dust and fingerprints. I do it once per year on all our cars. I then have a 2 quid microfiber handled duster to swiff around each time I give him a bath.

I only have top 2 on a week old 184fr why is that?

Seems pretty random, initially they only seemed to be fitted to cars that operated in low temperatures (I think the first mention of it here was from Belarus) but since then it has popped up in some UK cars both diesel and petrol so I'm not sure what the requirement is!

Very strange and very random, I wonder if someone on here works for seat and.give us an answer on that. I'd prefer to have had it tbh as some frosts in the morning can be brutal. Especially when I make the trip to Scotland for Xmas! Brrrrr....

 

[kevster184]

Just did a small vid of it working in my car (assuming its what you want) but im at work so cant upload it now... so in text terms, you want to go into Radio... Setup...Seek Mode - Preset List.

Then the buttons on the left of your steering wheel will now go between the favorite stations and not scan.

that's awesome mate, just changed it no problem. i hadn't even considered that the Seek Mode would apply to the steering wheel thanks for your time and effort

Jimi seems to have vanished of the forum. My dealer is certain this cant be done on nav high with DAB, or the standard unit with DAB, maybe it's a DAB related thing?
Do you have DAB Ocularis?

I bought my Seat Leon SC SE (1.4) on finance in September and I'm almost 6 months through the 3 year agreement.



It's my first brand new car, and if I am honest I am not that impressed.

• Twice it has just turned off as I have come to a stop
  
• Once the start stop has activated and it hasn't turned on again
  
• It gets stuck going into reverse (will only go into gear if I release the clutch a bit)
  
• Water runs in the boot when it's been raining and I open the boot
  
• Water drips in the car if you open the windows when it's been raining
  
• It takes forever to clear ice from the front window
  
• It's almost impossible to make a smooth gear change into 1st
  
• You can't switch between saved radio stations from the steering wheel (or I don't know how to)
  
• The material used around the central screen and the window open/close buttons make it look like someone has eaten a McDonalds then pressed all the buttons.
  

OK, so the first two things have only happened once or twice but that's the not point. If it's happened once - when will it happen again is all you can think?

Point three I will mention when it goes in for a service. I'm reluctant to take it to a dealer as i've only heard horror stories of people coming out of the dealers with more problems than when they went in there.



Anyone else feel like this?

Would you like to swap cars?

My brand new Leon has had many more serious problems such as water entering the car when the window is closed! Oh and not to mention the creaky clutch and rattling doors which they still can't fix...

Sorry yours has turned out to be a bit of a lemon. Unfortunately which ever brand you buy there is the odd car that gets through. (I reackon I've had my fair share)

had a Mk3 cortina that I bought second hand (3 years old) that had 10 faults in first 3 months.
In the end the dealer PXd it at what we paid for it just to get shot of it, and me.....took a Datsun Sunny 1200 coupe instead and loved it.
even my Merc (12 months at 8k miles) had quite a few faults in the first year, and then a few every year. And being a merc they were all expensive to fix.
My leon's been a peach....

saw this and thought - "musr clear out some old messages"
when did the storage go from 50 to 150?

My 280 (with DAB) works the presets on the stations with the LH steering wheel buttons, after I changed the settings as mentioned before.

So that's 3 cupra 280's it works on, yours, JimiCs and Ocularis (Jimis is Nav high) just not my FR Nav High.... wft!!!

Left hand steering buttons DAB

Yes just tested mine on the way to work on DAB and from Radio 2, pressing the button left goes to Radio 1 extra, then Radio 1 and pressing button right goes to Radio 3, then Radio 4 etc etc and that was from factory settings, as I haven't altered anything.

Mine is MY2015 Nav High with Mirror Link (still not got this to work!) on it's own and not Full Link.

Wish I could find another way of changing albums on SD card setting - seems the only way is to use touch screen to whizz the album cover art around which is difficult to do when driving. I wish the steering wheel buttons could be deployed in conjunction with the central dash display, though they only seem to change tracks - any ideas?

Otherwise, after near 2k miles in a month, car is still rattle free and feels very solid - however, I do miss the quattro drivetrain from my old Audi A3, though am adapting my driving style from standstill to accommodate the lack of traction. Weirdly traction seems easier to control in the wet than the dry, though that could just be me being more cautious with the throttle!

I think this is due to the bridgestones having a bit of 'night and day' grip in the dry. Means that it is hard to modulate. They simply have no grip in the wet so at least you know what they are going to do (ie not grip at all times!!).

You can use the right hand wheel/dial to scroll around and press it in to make a selection. I find the touch screen fiddly as you can easily fat finger your choice.

So same as me then.... i guess you don't have the setting 'SEEK' either?

So why we can't and JimiC can.....

We do seem to be the only 3 with the standalone MY2015 Mirrorlink as far as i can tell...

 

[kevster184]

Went throught all the Leons at my dealer today, all the MY2016 MIB Il and MY2015 MIB I standard Nav units have the SEEK option. Taught the salesman something, no other Nav high cars there, mine is the only one they have sold.
