CUPRA ATECA Heated Front Screen - Super Sport steering wheel- Factory Spec Towbar

[jt20vt]

Just want to say a big shout out to East Yorkshire Retrofit Solutions for fitting the Super Sport steering wheel, heated front screen and factory spec towbar to my 2018 Cupra Ateca.

The guys have done a superb job with all genuine parts, warranty and customer support.

It has made a huge difference for myself with massive big grins in the morning with this cold weather putting on the heated screen to de ice the screen and heated steering for warm hands from the off. The towbar is a great addition ready for the summer with the bikes on the back.

 

[Seriously?]

A heated wheel is one of those things that you never really think about until you have it.
My current car is fitted with one (a factory option added by the original owner) and I find I use it far more than I had imagined I would.

Agree wholeheartedly. I have a heated steering wheel and heated front seats in my current car; never really thought about them before and had always considered seat heating with cloth seats would be unnecessary. Having now had both heated seats and steering wheel though, I’d not want to be without them - I use them pretty much every journey this time of year and they’ll be a ‘must have’ in any future car.

Heated front screen? I'm missing something here.

I had the factory option heated front screen on a Skoda Yeti; wires in the glass system. Was essential at this time of year for early morning commuting starts.

What's the system on the Ateca, please?

I think the factory option one is St Gobain Climacoat.

As mine is a 2018 it has the older version where you can see the wires through the screen but for 2020 onwards like seriously points out you can have the climacoat screen fitted. The Cupra brand never had the option but the Ateca has it on the SEAT brand vehicles. So its possible to have retro fitted. This should have been an option on Cupra vehicles. Its a must have in my opinion which is why I asked if East Yorkshire Retrofit Solutions would be interested in working it all out and installing.

My Friend has a new Skoda (i think a Scala) and he told me he had a Heated Screen, I was sceptical so he showed me and he was right he does.

I had one on my 1989 Escort RS and it was simply brilliant. Considering we now have so much Tech (most of which we don't need our cars its a shame we don't all have a Heated Screen or at least an OE option for one .

I had the work Ford Kuga for a few days last week, wasn't keen at all but when it was -3 and i just had to press a button to clear the screen I grew much more fond of it

@jt20vt

Thanks for the info; makes sense.

I had a look on the CupraOfficial website a couple of evenings ago and couldn't see any reference to Heated Screen as an option but, from what you say, I ought to be able to get the climacoat version retrofitted to my MY25 Cupra Ateca.

In a way, it's a bit like getting Skoda's Simply Clever parking ticket holder fitted. As the bodyshell for the Ateca is really a Karoq, the bracket in the screen pillar is there available to be used, behind the trim.

That Skoda parking ticket holder is another one of those things that once you've had, you'd never do without.

Same with the ice scraper in the fuel flap
