Seat Leon FR Sport Check the spec. No reversing camera.

[Advancedbiker]

Ordered the new Seat Leon FR Sport in September 2020. Drove the first edition with all the bells and whistles and was under the impression that some of the options were standard. Today took delivery - Came as a big disappointment when putting it into reverse..... No rear camera fitted and not available. Now know Road sign speed limit signs are Optional extra.
Dealership will see if rear camera is offered as accessory.....

When did you order in September? Unfortunately the First Edition effectively had all the bells and whistles. Hence I went for the Sport rather than the base FR to at least get some of them.

The problem I had was because the FR sport was so new, the dealer had difficulty configuring the order. Only driven it from the dealership, does feel a better car.... Need a course in how to work all the gizmo’s.

Just ordered my new FR, didn't go for the sport as an extra £4k for just wheels, power seats and dash lighting?

The first edition spec with adaptive cruise and rear camera is more useful, but an extra £7k!

Not sure where Seat is going with their spec and pricing choices, but it makes little sense to me.

Fitting. Due to VAG clamping down on home modding with VCDS, question is how much can a retrofitter do till they loosen up on that. Probably say everything with Vagcom, probably true. With the face lifted models and 2020 Autumn range VCDS was closed off apart from reading the error reports. Home retrofitting and tinkering least with Obdeleven stopped since VAG locked down coding. Have to put that in my Obdeleven board stuff till it's sorted, whenever that might be.

Bit of surfing, issue with Ross Tech, effects them as well.

Coding of Mk8

Is it going to be possible to do software changes in the new Mk8/Tiguan and ongoing models? If OBD/Ross Tech buy a license will that allow coding chan

Basically a new VAG money spinner. Token based money spinner, a professional retrofitter with Vagcom absorbs the costs and doesn't use home software. Just a note for people that think they can buy a car and mod it themselves to fit missing features in their own garage.... added wrinkle with the 2020 VAG models.

Yet someone in Italy has coded the digital dash to show the Cupra version (speedo in the middle) - see the Facebook group

Why would you want to have a speedo on the Rev cam display?
