Seat Leon MK4 infotainment malfunction - Help needed

[Lelloo]

Hi everyone,

I have a Seat Leon MK4 from 2020 and I'm experiencing an issue with the infotainment system.
The screen shows flickering lines and is split into two, although the touchscreen functionality still works.

I went to the Seat dealership, but since the car is no longer under warranty, they only speculated it's a hardware issue and suggested replacing the entire unit, which would cost around €1000. Their assumption didn’t seem very reliable, so I’m wondering:
- Has anyone else encountered this issue?
- Did you find any alternative solution other than replacing the whole module?

Thanks in advance!

What’s your current infotainment software version?

2020 will have been manufactured with terrible software, if it hasn’t been updated then most of the car will have outstanding updates. (Updates that all need to be performed together to ensure the correct software baseline)

Current software version is 1969. The dealer told me it's the latest.
Perhaps it's a coincidence, but also the gps started working eratically (as in it localises me 200 km away from where I am at) and sometimes it doesn't "read" the road signs. All those malfunctions started at once

Thank you for your help!

In that case the display issues are unlikely to be software

Electronic. Probably something coming off a circuit board . Costs start to escalate. Could be some bit of corrupted memory so it's not seeing what's suppose to be in the memory but something else.

Thank you for your answer.
I resigned myself to the idea that I have to replace the whole module... ‍

I initially presumed that I could only change a part of the hardware (like a fault sensor or something), but now the infotainment only shows the vertical lines, no more split screen, so it's getting worse day by day.

It works slightly better when I shift on reverse (it does show a shaking view of the camera), so you can imagine my confusion with regard to what the issue might be
