MY16 Leon Cupra 280

[DavidSanderson]

Hi everyone!

I am new to the forum after getting my new Leon Cupra 280 last Tuesday! So far I love it!

However - I just have a few questions!

On the infotainment system the Full Link option is available to click on however it says 'awaiting activation code'. The car has the new 6.5'' display (65plate) so I believe this feature should work? Will I be able to contact Seat to activate? Has anyone done this?

Also, there is 2 small red LED's within the interior light cluster, do these serve any purpose or are they there to partially illuminate dash when its dark?

Thanks for the help and sorry for the questions! These things have just been bugging me!

The leds in the roof light cluster serve no purpose other than I think what some might call "mood lighting" I'm pretty sure I've read full link will be available for activation in the future.

The light cluster I believe is for ambient light as per the previous post, I've heard/read this before. For the Full Link code there is a number of posts suggesting both that it's going to be available in the future and there is an option to purchase the code for approx £150. My Leon FR 2016 is the same. They didn't fit the FL package to standard FRs before the MY2016 unless the NAV High package was ordered. Now it seems it's fitted as standard on FRs for MY2016.

Those 2 LEDs in the roof light up when your headlights are on. No idea why.

They provide some ambient down lighting in the interior, and were first introduced in the Passat W8, I remember my brother fitting the W8 lighting in his Bora and its the one thing my dad misses in his new Golf.

Thank you for all the help guys!

I am going to hopefully get in touch with the dealership within the next couple of days regarding the activation of full link so will have answers soon!

heres a bit of the part i read...............................Roll-out of Full Link and SEAT DriveApp begins with New Ibiza and New Alhambra

Three-in-one solution is a first in the global car market
Company car drivers and fleets to benefit from increased safety and efficiency
Tech mirrors usability of driver’s smartphone
Identifies vehicle maintenance issues to reduce down time and prevent damage
SEAT is undertaking an ambitious plan to prioritise in-car connectivity across all of its models, seamlessly bridging the gap between the smartphone and infotainment system, so in today’s increasingly digital world the driver is always connected.

Several new models, starting with the New Ibiza CONNECT and closely followed by New Alhambra, Leon MY16 and Toledo MY16, will be available with Full Link, SEAT’s state-of-the-art, three-in-one connectivity solution.

Encompassing Apple Car Play™ for the iPhone user, Android Auto™ and Mirror-Link™ for Android devices, the solution is a first in the global car market and not only removes fears about current and future compatibility, but also allows users to access many of their phone functions and apps safely on the move.

The brand has also introduced SEAT DriveApp, working alongside Full Link to support easy vehicle maintenance, eco driving guidance, traffic alerts and more.

The New Ibiza, launched in May at the Barcelona Motor Show, is the first model to benefit from the advanced technology which sees SEAT take a giant leap forward in the race to eradicate compromise from connectivity.

I just checked my emails and I have recieved it too! Although I hope villa_chris is correct and it just requires an activation code! Don't fancy paying £200!

I had carplay with an aftermarket headunit in my vxr and it worked very well and definately worth having! Google maps works very well too, as does Spotify!

Can you get google maps with Apple CarPlay?

Can you get google maps with Apple CarPlay?

No.

 

[DavidSanderson]

Yes, google maps is on apple carplay. Works very well.

 

[twitchynik]

No it doesn't. Apple maps, yes.

 

[DavidSanderson]

Apologies, we seem to have got mixed up! I basically mean the mapping software on iPhones which I 'thought' was google maps, it is actually apple maps!

Full link was enabled on a cupra st my16 I collected recently. It did have the nav high option though.
