New DAB Pics

[AEM]

Wheels on the DAB are FR wheels. I asked the dealer about the immobiliser and alarm on the car, he sed immobiliser came as standard but alarm would cost an extra few hundred. Then he tried to sell the one he had in stock which was yellow, dad was like nooo way. So he said what colour i sed red or grey, so then he checked his stock and sed he cant get any red but he can get a grey. Then he also said he just found out they fit alarms as standard on the new DAB so we were like thats good. So i should be looking to get it for around £8200?

Can anyone that has their DAB advise if it has an alarm or not?

I was under the impression that there was no alarm

Cheers

I don't pick mine up until Friday but I was told that there was no alarm and in fact the dealer double checked as I was on the phone the other day.
He said it would cost £170 to supply and fit an alarm.

They come with the pre facelift FR wheels, the facelift FR wheels are different and are 17" instead of 16"

Well the dealer said if i ordered one now from the factory it would come prefitted with an alarm. dunno if thats because its just been ordered, maybe you guys dabs dont have them because you ordered them so early? I dunno im just going on what that dealer told me, he may be bsing

Well, you'll no doubt be pleased to hear that the little wrinkles have been ironed out. The missus went to work in it yesterday morning and called the dealer first thing, asked them to come and pick it up, which they did, and dropped it off later in the afternoon.

All smiles now.

Interesting question about the alarm, I don't know whether it's got one. According to the handbook if you try to open the door with the key in the lock when the system is in 'safe mode' (indicated by the flashing red LED on top the drivers door card) the alarm will sound. However, the LED flashes whether an alarm is fitted or not, I'll give it a go tonight and let you know.

it doesnt mention a few things like the white dials, so not sure how good this spec list really is.

 

[norrie]

Yeah but if you look up the spec on a Cupra it mentions the alarm.

there is NO alarm it only has an immobiliser, the doors definately autolock (may have to ask the dealer to enable this feature on pdi altough most do it anyway)

Hi Pub,

Just wondering what kind of key you were given with you new motor....ie whether SEAT are using the nice VW flip ones yet or it's just a boring flat one?

Stupid detail I know but was just curious. Cheers.

 

[tommmineh]

boring flat key still i think, though sorting out a flipkey isn't hard. see the thread in the Mk4 FAQs section

 

[benjani]

Thanks for that tommmineh
