My Infotainment system refused to switch on a few days ago but Guy at my dealer, SEAT
CUPRA Letchworth, suggested touching the power icon for 30 seconds to reboot it, which worked.
That's the normal forced reboot. Useful if it starts too act strange. Corrupted program.
Mines normal
Ateca. Apart from the remote batteries on the Kessy wearing out through old age no problems.
There are known to be poor batteries out there so I do use Duracell bought from Amazon Prime. You can check the voltage across the pins when you pull them out. Got a thread on the standard
Ateca side.
The car monitors the voltage across the pins and warns you when the battery is low. Original
Ateca's don't tell you, 2016-2018 or so. They all set up a VCDS flag when it's deemed that the battery is too low. Although on that thread I did point out that W=VxA,
. So if the battery hasn't got much capacity it can fool the voltage check. Hence the need to use quality batteries else you are forever popping open the remote, if you do it yourself. Garages might give you a duff one of you leave it to them.
Seats seem to come with Panasonic batteries, not the greatest make. You can reckon on 12-18 months before you get the warning. If you don't get the warning you will note it's more tricky to use keyless. I change the spare at the same time now and clear the VCDS message as well.
How to here... suspect they are CR2032 in all new Kessy remotes. Early
Ateca took CR2025 (flat screwdriver and twist):
ODBEleven reported that both keys were getting problematic on the error check. B147918 - Remote key 1 Voltage too low static B147A18 - Remote key 2 Voltage too low static I didn't get a screen warning thou. Had the car since November 2016, built in September so judged...

Clock resetting is likely to be the way it's picking up the satelitte signal if you use that to set the time. There is an option least on the pre mib3s to use either manual time setting or automatic via the GPS. At one stage Seat shipped them set to manual since they had a software bug.... suspect the bug is out but they still ship them with manual. I'd toggle that to automatic via GPS. I told
how to do that recently on the
Ateca standard site as well, but pass on the mib3, will be in the manual similar. There you use manual or automatic. You can save yourself time by using automatic. That way it self corrects. Reboot causes the infotainment system to restart having ceased any programs running which could be the bug / corruptions.
For some unknown and random reason, I noticed this morning that the clock and odo (trip) meter readings had reset themselves. Not a major
problem, but what might have caused that? Incidentally, when I reset the time it went to BST, not local time. Should it not have gone to local time? And one...
