Full Link Upgrade

[2Stevo2]

Chaps/ Chapesses...

Like many of you, I received an email from Seat advertising Full Link upgrade for £199. The simple question.....is it worth it? I had mentioned it to the wife who offered to pay for it as a Xmas present but I have never seen it being used. Any opinions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

have you got a MY16 Leon with the correct system that will accept it?

Yes m8 i do...

Thats OK then lol

A few people are reading it as though they can update the previous system

If I had the choice I would have it

your sat nav would be future proof with it! due to the fact you can just run it off your mobile plus a host of other reasons

Cool thanks m8, any1 else any thoughts??

I have it on mine using an iPhone 6. Really cool and as the standard nav is a bit crap it's nice to have an alternative although google maps would be nice. Maybe is different for Android users.

I paid £150 for it from new. Only downside is that you have to plug in the phone. I find myself turning bluetooth on and keeping the phone in my pocket for journeys where I know where I need to go. The placement of the USB cable and the charging point on the iPhone make it awkward to put it of the way of the gear stick.

Spotify app is cool and haven't really used it for much else. It's cool and the cost of rolling it up into the car purchase was minimal. Not sure if I'd fork out £199 though...

Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks for the info m8, thats gr8. Ive got to say, its the price thats making me hesistate. If it was £100 - £150 id go for it. Anyone else with an opinion on its worth?

No connection to them but I love an app called trigger. It's very mature and works like this.

You set up various triggers such as wifi, Bluetooth, apps so that when you leave your house bt is switched on and then when in your car it automatically connects. You can change all your phone settings automatically like volume, brightness etc. You switch off stuff you don't need too. On return you switch off bt and reverse all the other settings so your volume is more suited to home etc.

It is free no ads. Been using it for over a year on seve r al Android phones and two cars.

Has anyone actually done the full link upgrade on here? I know on the Skoda forums there was issues with dealers not knowing anything about it or saying it can't be done even though the car was asking for the activation code.

If you look at page 3 of the iPod Connection / Full Link thread - Madefield has had it done and seems like it went fine:

(I can't add the hyperlink as don't have enough posts yet)

Mine is being done before i pick the car up, which hopefuly is the 19th

Will report back then!

I've had the retrofit upgrade done. I love it because Siri can be used to control almost everything. I also bought a 20cm lightning cable off eBay which makes a nice tidy solution.

Do you have a MY 15? How much did it cost to get the retrofit of the my16 satnav?
