Have you got a custom stereo built into the standard headunit? I have and I'm for some reason unable to get the trip computer.

on your right hand drivers stalk theres a little slider on the end, try moving that left and right and a variety of things will appear before your eyes :) hope that helps

No i dont have a custom head unit its just standard, I tried the slider but still doesnt work could it be a possibility that the centre console dash is knackered or would it all not be working if that was the case!

The data should show up in the top left corner (opposit the clock)

What do you have there now?

I know that anyone that installs a stereo there loses the capability of the Trip Comp but you should be ok

took the centre console panel off last night and push all plugs to make sure they are secure! nothing shows up on the top left hand side at all apart from the temperature ! does any one have the serial number for a ibiza cupra centre console because i was reading that some people when they change them put a 1.6 centre console in and i could check with the serial number
