New Leon owner

[iandjm]

Hey,

I just thought I would say hi to you all. I have just bought a 14 month old Leon sylance sport 2.0 Tdi with 5000 miles on it. I am really impressed with the car which I bought to replace a Golf V6 4 Motion, that bearly managed 30mpg. My new Leon is managing 50mpg +. I was worried about loosing the handling of the Golf, but am pleased to report the Leon handles just as well.

I am hoping to fit an ipod lead to the car, but am not sure they work with my stereo, as mine came with the 3.5 mm input. Seat say in their accessory guide that the ipod lead is not suitable for cars with the 3.5mm connection.

you can use ipod adaptor, its just you loose the aux.

if you need it get an ipod connector with 3.5mm male connector.

Hi mate and welcome!

I was told the same by the dealer but just tell them to order you one and it will fit no problems.

Enjoy the new car.

Nice one mate, its a piece of cake to fit but the hardest bit is getting the old headunit out, do a search on here there are load of threads on how to do it.

Hi,

Further to my ipod lead question, I had the Seat ipod lead fitted at my local dealer today. I got home, connected the ipod and nothing! All i get if I power the ipod up is music playing in the distence when aux in is selected. I am unable to select cd auto changer mode (the ipod adoptor should emulate a cd changer). My car has the standard factory fit aux input fitted. I had a look at the radio manual and it clearly states a cd changer cannot be fitted to cars with an aux input. Can this be true? I find it hard to believe that you cannot add a cd changer or ipod adaptor to any leon with the aux input socket.


Any help would be appreciated.

I assume when you press the AUX button you see AUX on the display?

Try pressing the AUX button again and see if 'CDC' is shown.

That should be the 'input' you want.

I guess you can hear the IPod playing faintly on AUX setting due to crosstalk.

You can toggle the AUX feature on or off by pressing the PROG button on the head unit and selecting the aux option. This will then mean that 'CDC' will come up straight away.

.....I had a look at the radio manual and it clearly states a cd changer cannot be fitted to cars with an aux input. Can this be true?...

Yes, this is true in as much that you cannot have AUX and CDC simultaneously connected.

You can have one or the other but not both; the AUX and CDC input use the same connection point on the back of the head unit.

The dealer would have removed the AUX harness block from the back of the radio and replaced it with the IPod lead wiring block.
