How to update the firmware? (Current version 1803)

[Posing3710]

I own a 2020 SEAT Leon 4 1.4 e-Hybrid FR, and I'm looking for guidance on how to update my firmware.

Current system details (pictures attached):​

• Software version: 1803
• Hardware: H56
• Hardware ABT: H37
• Software ABT: 3074
• Navigation database: 20.11
• Radio database: 1.30.24
• Codec version: 3.1.4

I've seen that newer versions are available, but I haven't found clear instructions on how to perform the update.

• Is this something that can be done via OTA updates, or does it require a USB update from SEAT?
• Is it possible to manually update it with files downloaded from somewhere?
• What improvements/fixes come with the latest updates?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I have the same issue and joined to see if there’s any fixes to this.

If I am not wrong, you can update to 1896 with a usb pen.

Can't remember if in this forum someone posted the files.

Good luck

you could also update directly to 1969. There is a risk with every firmware update

Hey everyone,


I reached out to a SEAT Authorized Service Centre to ask about updating my infotainment system firmware. Their response was:

"As I mentioned over the phone, the software update will be requested by the car itself, and you will then have to accept it to proceed."

This raises some questions:

• For those who have updated manually, was the car supposed to request the update first?
• Is there any way to force the car to check for updates?

I appreciate any insights from those who have successfully updated their system!


Thanks!

Thanks for your response!


I've seen in other threads that you (or other members) might have the firmware files to update to version 1969. Would you be able to share them or point me in the right direction to download them?


Also, if you have any instructions on how to safely install the update via USB C, that would be really helpful.


Thanks in advance!
