Hi folks. I might be getting the Leon FR with FULL LED (900 lm) and intelligent ambient lighting. I've got 3 questions:
1. According to some vids, this version should have the animated rear light lock/unlock LEDs like in the attached video, but I couldn't see this while checking the very model today. Is this somehow not enabled by default? If so, how can I enable this to test this?
2. 2nd question I've got is related to Apple CarPlay. This model comes with 8.25 Media with Full Link (MirrorLink, CarPlay). Is the CarPlay working wirelessly, or only via USB cable?
3. Are there any other differences between The 10" Media and 8.25" one apart of the size and lack of GPS/maps?

I think number 1 disappeared for cars built after approx May 22 with blame put on the chip shortage.

Have you got the car?

To test #1, you can always cover the center top area from the windshield. That's is where the camera and some other sensors are. Doing so will make the car believe it's dark outside and it will turn on the rear lights

2. Both are wireless
3. Buttons. The 8.25 has some, the 10 has none

Or alternatively in the dark, lock the car and watch the rear lights, if you have the animated lights then they should turn off from the outside to the middle.
