Model Year 2016 (MY16)

[bretth1974]

Ordered cupra st last week and dealer thinks this will be my16 model. Fingers crossed.

 

[Gadom]

I am thinking of adding the sound system to mine as I've got BOSE in my Exeo. Is it worth it?

I think that it is worth it. Bass is really noticeable and for me even more important thing -> central speaker.

 

[jimiC]

yes, a front centre speaker that doesn't have it's own independent volume control and is overwhelmed by the other speakers in the car

 

[bretth1974]

Just had this from my dealer

Please see below the 2016 model year changes;

And this....


Full link

Full link is a new option to the SEAT range featuring Mirror Link, Apple Car Play and Google Android Auto. It allows seamless smartphone control straight from the navigation system to makes calling, texting or streaming music a fully integrated experience.

Want the new sports interface display stuff for the cupra and the usb port in the middle.

 

[damo74]

Thanks for that!

When can I order one?

 

[bretth1974]

I ordered my cupra beginning of last week. Not sure if I will get the new spec yet but waiting for dealer to confirm

 

[Kurtje]

I've ordered my Cupra on the 21st of February and it's still not build...
Got in contact with my dealer and I'm getting a MY16 model, delivery end of July

 

[bretth1974]

At least the delay means you are getting some extras thrown in. What is the reason for your delay.... Did you choose standard wheels and interior?

 

[JK1]

So does this mean you'll have to have the iPod sat in the centre console rather than nicely hidden in the glovebox?

 

[bretth1974]

Sounds like it but I use the phone for music and would rather have this closer to me so that is fine with me.

Full link costs £150 according to my dealer so I have gone for that as well

 

[Kurtje]

At least the delay means you are getting some extras thrown in. What is the reason for your delay.... Did you choose standard wheels and interior?

No got the buckets seats, but yes the standard wheels

 

[bretth1974]

No got the buckets seats, but yes the standard wheels

Must be the wheels then? I went for black/grey leather seats and black line pack but even with that the dealer said it could be 20 weeks for cupra St ......guess the Spanish like their siestas!

 

[Kurtje]

Yes it's the wheels according to my info.
But the problem is that other party are getting out of stock also.

 

[bretth1974]

Want my hands in it asap but can wait if absolutely necessary, not unhappy with the octavia vrs so I will sit here patiently for as long as it takes.

Having a few extras thrown in like bigger sat nav screen with better resolution and getting full link for £150 rather than spending and extra £950 to get high sat nav helps.

 

[Kurtje]

The standard sat nav has a bigger screen, but I don't think it has a higher resolution...
The Nav High has a higher resolution screen...

 

[bretth1974]

Take your word for it..... I get totally confused a to what is and isn't included half the time!

 

[kevster184]

There's a new English-language brochure for the Leon range

What's not clear is whether any of these functions will be available on other models - or whether the Leon Connect will be sold in the UK.

Checked on saturday, my uk dealer drew a blank face at all this.

Call me easily pleased - But I love these sorts of gadgets! I hope they are available via a software update / VCDS config change...
