You get those instances where it's suddenly fogs up so you hit high speed windscreen blow or that lorry that's pumping fumes or the tarmac work where you switch to internal air.... example where you juggle on the move.
Suggestion: leave it on 21Yeah i adjust mine all the time
Start journey on HI
Knock back to 20 degree’s
too cold stick to 22 degree’s
Too hot back to 20
and so on
I can’t have it set on an odd number. It’s not right.Suggestion: leave it on 21
Ha, ha - I know exactly what you mean. In my previous car, the cabin temperature could be adjusted in increments of 0.5 degrees. I always had to have it set on a temperature that was a whole number; e.g. 20.0 and not 20.5 . I’m also OCD about the symbol on the on/off button on the infotainment unit; it has to be the correct way up!I can’t have it set on an odd number. It’s not right.
First of all I just want to know how to remove the infotainment in the first place.. google has not been my friend ...You would need to be really good with a soldering iron, that's if the plastic around them even lets light through
Had a look yesterday ... no workshop manuals did the MK4 yetYou probably want to look at Erwin, buy yourself 7 euros of time and see whether they have published the workshop manuals yet. Web page here in hint for login in:
SEAT Repair Manual and Workshop Information
To answer a lot of the technical questions of the Ateca the full workshop manuals are available by an hourly or daily rate for download as PDF files. You can browse but can't download if you don't pay. https://erwin.seat.com/erwin/showHome.do 7 Euro's + VAT gives you the ability to download in...www.seatcupra.net
I know some people publish the ripped off ones but doubt whether that has been done yet. Like the good old days of the Hayes manuals. Get it down to a fine art and within the hour download all the PDFs, build codes and dealer training manuals (SSPs). Last time I looked a couple months ago there were not any specific Leon4 SSPs.
Honestly didn’t check for build codes .. I just looked at some of the self-study sheets and checked for workshop manuals.Ah. The build codes are there when I had a look a few months back to decipher what UK cars were getting verses those abroad using the Vin. Seeing how much choice had been lobbed off for the UK market. Zn2 is the RR infotainment system which I reckon isn't offered on any UK FL models including the Ateca Cupra FL. That gets the same bog standard Zn1 unit.
Yes, whether or not the small red / blue sections for hearing and white symbols for radio volume on this panel will let light through is the key. If they would, then I’d have thought that Seat would have fitted LED’s behind the panel and cars would’ve come from the factory with this panel backlit.You would need to be really good with a soldering iron, that's if the plastic around them even lets light through
Well since they are touch sensitive light will need to be able to pass through ... otherwise the touch functionality wouldn’t work.Yes, whether or not the small red / blue sections for hearing and white symbols for radio volume on this panel will let light through is the key.

The very similar / same panel used in other VAG models (new Golf, all-electric ID3) doesn‘t have backlighting. I think VAG are expecting owners to rely on voice control or just fumble in the dark.
On the recently announced face lifted Polo, of the current model line-up only the entry level ‘Life’ model has retained conventional knobs for heating and ventilation - other models get a fancy touch panel that’s devoid of conventional controls. It’s quite low down too - below the two central air vents - which adds to the difficulty of adjusting the controls while driving;All the new Skodas and the new Polo has buttons/knobs and illumination for climate control, someone at VAG must have been taking notice. I guess they just have to use up stock of the old instrument panel first before the next facelift. Buttons/knobs will be back for sure, possibly for 2023.
I'd you genuinely think touch panels are cheaper to manufacture than knobs and knockers I'd like to sell you some snake oilOn the recently announced face lifted Polo, of the current model line-up only the entry level ‘Life’ model has retained conventional knobs for heating and ventilation - other models get a fancy touch panel that’s devoid of conventional controls.

Full spec details of facelift Polo GTI aren’t available yet, so whether that model has the more simple old style heating and ventilation controls of a touch panel is anyone’s guess.
I'm not sure VAG will revert back to conventional interior controls - within a large vehicle manufacturing group such as VAG, cost of manufacture and profit are key factors and if their accountants have decided it’s more cost effective and there’s more profit to be earned from using to cheap to manufacture touch panels rather than more expensive to manufacture conventional controls with moving parts, then IMO the car interior without buttons and knobs is probably here to stay.
For the record, I’m not a fan of touch panels and much prefer conventional controls for ease of use while on the move and from a safety perspective.
