I think I get what you're saying. I'm still a bit new to this. But yes, it seems the infotainment screen just isn't setup to use the acceleration input as is.

What I did was just set the measurement to "Active" in OBDeleven, but some more work seems to be necessary. Would be an awesome gadget to have on the dash.
You will have to look for the dash code. It could be a FeC that enables it if we are not at cross purposes. I don't think anyone has hacked the mib3 FeC codes. In mib2 there is the performance gauge that's controlled by a FeC, an added value screen that people wanted, now can be done by retrofitters or DIY. That's a different type of suppressed menu, that one was locked down by a license code. The DLR menu one in mib3 is free you can change that one yourself in Obdeleven as Deano did. Question is whether this is an enhanced performance gauge screen they are holding back... if one isn't at cross purposes on the virtual cockpit or infotainment screen. Question of keeping an eye on published mods.

Hello Everyone,

Greetings from Poland. I would like to ask you about ambient lighting. Did you try to change color code? New versions of Formentor in Poland comes with diffrent ambient colors (including purple, picture attached). Of course dealers doesn't know if older cars will get color update. I have latest soft version (1896).

Do you know if it is possible to change color codes in Formentor, like in link below (2:47)?

Hi, New to the forums. Just received my Formentor 245 PHEV a couple of weeks ago.

A question. Has anyone tried to activate "travel assist"?


THIS ACTIVATES A SORT OF TRAVEL ASSIST. TO WORK, THE LANE ASSIST EARLY MUST ALSO BE CODED AND THE ACC MUST BE ACTIVE WITH THE SET SPEED. IT ALSO WORKS UNDER 60 KM/H.
- Select Module A5 (Driver Assistance)
- Select Long Coding
- Select HC Variant
- Set To Variant 1

Yep, I got that one working with no issues. Have to note I did it before the 1896 update - if that could be relevant.
I do get the "something went wrong" every once in a while, but it usually works on the 2nd or 3rd press.

Door open, bonnet open, ignition on.

Welcome to the club!
"Travel Assist" is a standard feature in the Safe and Driving Pack XL. If you have this, you even have a button on the steering wheel for it.
It's pretty nice.

I wonder if this means it's actually possible to get it without the XL pack. I thought some hardware might be needed.

No, I do not have travel assist on the car. Only ACC with lane assist, Standard package Large. I read this in one of the Seat Leon forums. And someone had it working on a car without the "extra button" on the steering wheel. Would be cool if it worked on the formentor.

I really want to know what could be missing (hardware ?) to have a Travel Assist when you already have lane assist and ACC :unsure:

Well damn! That looks like travel assist alright.

Would be a cool hack to actually get it on a non-XL Package car. You have to try it now :LOL:

Very good question. Seems to be a "pay to unlock" thingy. As I understand everyting is already installed. Exept for the button on the steering wheel.

Leon 4 Obdeleven thread on here has some steering wheel changing stuff in it... I can't say I have read that in detail, but it's on this subject. They have been busy changing steering wheels on there.... might be worth eyeballing to see what they were up to.

Vag have shifted more to FeC to unlock with the latest platform.

I tested it. And it works!
One annoying thing tho. The "Place hand on steering wheel" warning came quite fast. And even if I had the hands on the wheel. It sometimes came up.
Maybe some other setting for this to be less prone. So I reverted back to Stock. I need to investigate further. Or if anyone got an idea.


Other settings I did was to turn of the annoying auto lock over 15Kph. I do not live in a car hijack country.

Well anyway. First coding on my new car. Great success I believe.

guys I'd like to ask a couple of questions:

1) where can I find a list of verified encodings for formentor?

2) entering the control units via OBD11 and without changing anything, remains a trace that they can view in Seat?

3) if I carry out an encoding, can Seat display my encoding?

4) if yes to (3), if I then put the original coding back, can they view the intervention in Seat?
