Infotainment 1988 update

[JT437]

Oh great - that stupid bug (that causes the tutorial to pop up randomly) STILL exists, even after updating to 1988. Sigh ... whatever bug fixes were in that 9 GB update, they clearly missed this one. I needn't have bothered updating ...

Sadly, I suspect that 1988 will be the last update for us "pre-facelift" people, so I guess I'm stuck with it. I give up!

I have the exact same problem; once in a while the infotainment system completely resets. All my favorite radio stations are gone etc. I'm still on software 1969 and would like to update to 1988. Which file did you use to update to 1988?

Someone kindly provided a link to the firmware on this forum. Could be earlier in this thread. It was hosted on a Russian (!) server which was a little concerning at first, but it updated my Leon OK.

It did take a while (many hours) to download from the server, I think due to it being on “free” hosting. But after that, it was quite straightforward.

The YT video linked above was very helpful too, as it can be a bit unnerving watching the update go slowly.

As ever, proceed at you own risk. But good luck.

The files will be signed so not hackerable, but whether it's the correct one to use who knows.

I also have this excite same issue, given that it looks like 1988 doesn't fix it, I won't be in a hurry to update myself.

I updated my Seat Leon Sportstourer Hybrid 2021 succesfully with this file. I went from 1969 to 1988. Thanks @Ruslan1718

Any one have the 1989 package?

That's just installed on mine yesterday. So far, the infotaiment was pretty buggy this morning, but seems to have sorted itself out now. I've lost ACC, Auto-Hold and probably a bunch of other features. Have tried a reset this evening, but yet to properly test. Hoping it's a case of just settling down.

Otherwise, I have it already booked in with a dealer to get some other warranty work done.

Hi everyone!
I have pretty old software and no ota update is showing even if I have it connected to wifi. What can I do or how can I update it to get latest software? Only at the dealer?

I'm currently on 1989.
The car however was previously stick on 1790, had a software update manually installed using ODIS and carried out 3 OTA's. (ODIS can't install the newest version.
Gotta go back for the SOS module to be updated too as it has signal drops. However that was already expected we just needed the OTA's to install first.
Previously my infotainment was almost inoperable Slow, Crashing, Unable to connect to the app, Unable to install OTA's. This version works almost perfect however the proximity touch doesn't work currently not really concerned as it seemed pointless anyway and will probably be fixed in another OTA. Although I will ask about it.

Going from an old car with an FM/AM radio this tech seems great but defo has its issues.
Lucky for me I just bought it as a used car so the dealership is obligated to pay for it. Other than that I really love the car.

That software is even older than mine was, It likely will have the same issue as mine. Too old so OTA won't function properly.
I'd advise leaving it set to ESim on for a couple of weeks.
If that doesn't work you'll need to have it updated manually via a dealership or someone with the ODIS software.
I don't recommend using software downloaded online as I've seen people use that and lose features as it wasn't correct for the car.
The SOS module will also require an update.
