Cariata mate How do u change it mate ? Unless it's me being a dumbo lol
I can't remember - played about when i got the car :) i'm sure the only options was red or white light though unlike on previous Leons where you could select different colours

Does this vid help at all (different unit but maybe options are similar?) -

ur last picture comes up then i click settings everything is there apart from background lighting lol

Just checked mine and it's still working
1. Press car symbol on right (2nd from bottom) when on main screen
2. Press settings
3. Press background lighting
4. Press to select which area you want to change - any of the 3 circles
5. Top left corner now has a box - press this and 3 options appear (white / red / off) - choose option

My displays are slightly different to Al. Khassars so he must have later software?

I believe aftermarket sensors are fitted from the front (pushed in) so do stick out slightly whereas the factory ones are fitted from the inside of the bumper inside moulded in supports so these are a flush fit.
I've seen some Ibizas with 5 sensors in the rear bumper - 1 in middle, 1 either side above number plate cutout (level with central 1) and 1 either side on the curved edge of the bumper.
I've also seen some with 4 sensors (none in centre)

Do you have a picture of the parking sensors that have been fitted. I recall the dealer saying flush fitment. But min stick out. But I called multiple dealers so can't remember who told me they would be flush fit. Either way still happy with them but the sound isn't very loud.

I've had the car since Feb, Its been to dealers twice and the infotainment system has done 3 updates its self. Dealer updated if needed. Didn't bother asking if they did any updates
There samea as yours stick out slight I'm happy with them but don't think they did a good clean after tbh the wash was **** they did lol

How much did dealer charge. I ended up paying £220. Called a few dealers and one wanted £375.

Dealer in Kent was £210.
