Not 1940 itself (~about 30 min for me), but if they need to update other modules then yes, it will take time.

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
1940 software update - Get it or wait?
- Thread starter EVangelist
- Start date
It makes sense. Thanks. I was thinking - if you know you have such procedure you can download and prepare. The rest is clear.
They told me for an update which crashed and car kept several months clarifying who is gulty, who will pay etc
Software changed. OTA uodate notification records immediately, PIN issues solved after reset PIN re activate primary user. Still not clear if I like the new resolution ... I think I don't for now. I was on 1900 which with same speed responsive. No restarts. But now I should get every OTA.
new resolution? the fonts are way too large now under 1900, I wish they made them smaller to fit more in.
What is the latest software for this version? Seat Leon MK4 Style? My dealer says that this is the last version, 1765, i have problems with connecting bluetooth and Android Auto is not working on Samsung S23 Plus, i mention that i don't have Full Link with Wireless...only with cable....
Hi All,
I would like to tell you about my following misadventure about infotainment SW update: cause restarts of the infotainment I took my Leon (eTsi) to the SERVICE for checks, they told me that was necessary to leave car to carry out an special update sw of the control unit (I had A896), following this update carried out by the authorized SEAT service, the control unit broke causing the infotainment block with the "SEAT" logo , so I'm waiting for this replacement at moment 10 days....

Hello all! I have a Leon Style 22 with Software version at 1545. I went before 2 weeks for the typical service and they told me that there is an update that has to be done. When the service ended and I went to take my car, I asked for the update and they told me that I will do it myself. I asked how and they told me that I will see a notification. I asked if I need internet connection and they said no, it's from the satellite (?!?). Next day I called another dealer and he told me that I need to have active subscription at Seat Connect App. Do I need to pay for seat connect app subscription in order to have that update? I'm really confused, especially with the satellite thing...
Couple of days ago I spot a red dot so see what's there. Apparently a 3 part OTA update! So I start the download for part 1, about 185mb and have seen nothing since! Can I force it to restart the update again?
Thanks
Thanks
I also had the OTA update couple of weeks ago and nothing since however due to the reboot issues the dealer has just (today) updated the software from A896 to 1940 so hope its now cured
.
I accepted the OTA update today, after around a year trouble free with the system on privacy mode. After the update it wouldn't turn back on, and is now in a boot loop. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, but still no luck, is there anything else I can try or will it need to go into the dealer?
Thanks
Thanks
Boot loop is bad news unfortunately.
I've had it happen twice, which needed a replacement control unit on both occasions. 6 month wait for the first one!
Well the ota 3 part upgrade never reappeared, very strange. I'm on A896 which works 'ok'. Can't face going to a dealer to upgrade, too time consuming. Maybe I'll be prompted again for the ota upgrade
I didn't think
I didn't think 1940 was OTA? (according to other contributors unless future plans). Left mine at the dealers ready to pick up 5 hours later and so far so good.
Are dealers doing these updates for nowt or under warranty. My Leon is now over three years old but the Spoticar Warranty I still have on it seems to exclude software updates. Mine crashes most days about two or three minutes after driving off and then reboots. Less common is a black screen where I have to force a restart. I a going to say they are a distraction when driving and thus dangerous. I am on 1896.
Under warranty. They’d likely charge a fortune after. You can download the update files from one of the sponsors on this forum though and do it yourself, but obviously the risk is on you if it gets bricked.
