DanGB, where is the best place to buy the cluster and display screen from? know of any good fitters
yes and yes
Hey everyone,
Very good thread DanGB. A lot of very useful info in here.
I have a little situation with a new Seat Leon MK2 MY 2009 from a friend of mine. The dealer told him when he bought it that it had OEM Bluetooth fitted. After buying the car and trying to connect the Bluetooth to the phone we discovered there was no BT unit in there. So he made a complaint to the dealer and they said the would fix it. Now they have fitted (without asking) a Parrot carkit and drilled a hole in the dash for the cable and sticked it to the dash with some velcro. Not very professional for a car with Phone steering wheel controls.
Now we have told them to replace the Parrot with the original OEM BT module. I know a lot of this stuff because i RetroFitted my RNS-E SatNav and OEM BT in my Audi A4. But i now have some questions regarding the OEM BT setup in my friends Seat Leon.
1. Is it possible on the Seat_UHV BT unit to select names/numbers with the steering wheel controls on a display (i.e. on the radiodisplay (#2 on Photo), or in the instument cluster (#1 on photo)? See photo for the fitted dash/display.
2. Is a bigger Instrument Cluster needed for name/number selection or is the bigger MFD only to show more BT icons like network coverage. Or is name/number selection not possible at all (with any Instrument Cluster)?
3. The dealer offered to install a Pioneer AVIC-9110BT with Steering Wheel control cable for € 500 extra instead of the Seat_UHV. Only thing with this is that the iPod/USB connections (#3 on photo) will not work anymore standard. I would have to rewire the usb connection to the back of the Pioneer HU. Do you think this is a good solution as it will not be OEM as the car was sold as.
Sorry it has become a bit of a long post but these were some questionsi could not really find a definative answer for in ths thread. At least thanks for taking the time to read.

good question actually.... what does the bigger screen do that the smaller one doesn't?? lol
great guide.
I have two queries:
- does your phonebook show on red MFD?
- do phone buttons (dial/hang-up) work from the wheel?
on the other hand, since yours is a retrofit, perhaps both these are not available / applicable, but will appreciate any advise
Yes, it does,
and yes they do.
Full functionality.
Hope this helps.
