Model Year 23/24 Yesterday all my Cupra`s troubles didn`t seem to be far away!

That’s the philosophy I tend to adopt for most things .

Same here, the 1st stage in my philsophy is avoid main dealers unless absolutely necessary!

@Delanor , so I bought car new in Feb 2024 all was good when suddenly infotainment froze on me several times.
On 1st or second service can't remember, I told dealership while handing the car that it freezes and I am locked out no navigation etc.
While handing back they said they have updated the software.
Since then I am getting regular OTA and less infotainment freezes maybe once a year. Previously it was quite frequent. Hence found that work around of soft reset while holding the power button. I can't go back and forth to dealerships it costs time and money to me leaving work finding time. And yes it has moved to 1989 checked last night. While I was on 1988 approx 6 months ago it froze once. So still better than before.

I don`t buy new cars anymore, I bought a new Toyta RAV4 once allegedly then the most reliable car, on the first day in spite of the dealers PDI I discovered at 70 mph on the wet freshy gritted and salted M6 the washers didn`t work, that was fun, then the windscreen started to rattle in the cold temperatures the dealer changed the windscreen but didn`t check the rattle had been fixed outside in the cold it hadn`t, then the clutch dual mass flywheel started to eat its way out of the clutch housing, the dealer was useless, I have owned 4 RX-8`s 3 were new and had all sorts of problems I had to reject one of them the dealers again were useless, so I tend to buy 6 -12 months old now the theory being any faults should have been sorted by then which appears to work OK although I did buy a Skoda Karoq a demonstrator that was brilliant, again the first Formentor another demonstrator that was OK now my current Formentor has extras of random self switching interior lighting, the lovely "Panoramic Sunroof" doesn`t like to close when the Sun goes in and it starts to rain, the engine warning light illuminated allegedly caused by the dealer, now the Radio is fussy possibly due to a dislike of my selection of radio station and I have not been impressed with the dealers after they couldn`t manage to service it with the recommended engine oil and failure to cancel the "service required" warning message!

I do love my present VZN Formentor but I don`t think I would buy another!

What you just wrote reminded me of my 2018 25T Jaguar F pace, problem after problem and some major problems. Had to reject after 18 months. Thank God for that never ever going near JLR.
That interior light sometimes it comes ON while driving. I just leave it, do bother its not doing any harm to me. At next restart it gets better.
Sunroof don't use it only open to clean the surrounding rubber seals.
I would say just get that infotainment software update done while if its still in warranty.
As you are way behind.
