So - less than a week since my Cupra Connect ran out and today the car has decided it has no primary user.
This is after an almost daily shutdown and reboot by the system whilst driving.

If this is Cupra/SEAT trying to blackmail people in to renewing connect - it has failed.

Seriously ready to get rid now
Haven't been using Cupra Connect since September, it showed back then that one day after I finished work it needed updating , tried to do it, showed that for some reason it could not be done, don't remember exactly what, meantime had no infotainment and I don't remember what else, was to go on a trip in a couple of days, went to the dealer , couldn't figure out what to be done, what was wrong, we had the system rebooted, tried to reregister as prime user, weren't able, needed more time which I didn't have, so the guy told me if would like to ditch the primary user and continue as a guest only, he told me that mainly all I could not operate is the Cupra info about my car which I didn't really use because it offered nothing that I didn't already know and would always almost show that the car is unlocked when it wasn't , so ever since only as a guest and problem free, apart from the once in a while usual glitches of the infotainment and some functions when mainly starting the car in a morning, which either self repair in a minute or after a restart, although haven't experienced them lately and by lately I mean a couple of months or more.

It will be for the functions of the app (lock/unlock/tracker/on line radio etc) to continue. I think it will also be for over the air updates, traffic jam stuff etc. I will way it up when my 12 months are up and go from there. TBF for £135 is a small cost IMO, I know plenty of people who pay £40 per month just for the “next phone”. I’d rather keep my older fruit phone and cheap sim and keep the Cupra ID service if it’s something I must have. Just my opinion though.

To be honest if it means you no longer get OTA updates, particularly given the vagaries of the cars infotainment anyway this would be a bloody disgrace (Having said THAT there never seems much improvement with ota’s anyway🙄) this is something that could do with clarification really
