Online destination import

[Smowy]

Hey all, struggling a bit with the SEAT Connect app. Just bought a 2020 SE Dynamic and can't seem to get destinations to communicate between the app and the car - favourites on the car don't appear on the app and I can't see any way of sending favourites from the app to the car. Is this something not every model can do? If I can, what's the process? I've tried restarting the infotainment system, leaving it a day, signing in and out of my accounts and reinstalling the app so far.

Thanks in advance.

I have tried unsuccessfully myself on various occasions.

Seems to be a few reports of the software / apps being buggy on the new models

Let us know if it gets resolved, might need an update from SEAT.

[Seriously?]

It appears not just to be the Leon MK4: software issues reported on new Aronas also. Maybe these things are just too complex for their own good?

Look at the new Octavia (disaster) and also Golf (which is almost unusable sometimes)

Out of the three SEAT seem to have implemented the best: physical buttons on the wheel at least and the best infotainment interface, but still far from ideal.

My opinion also that it did the best job and works best out of the three... major issues on the others... also Seat but still, 3 out of 3 Seats tested until now, none of the presented this issues on the infotainment.

Hope in the end they will solve all brands and that's that.

They are all going on about getting connected services registered across this board. I've come across a good spec in German or Spanish of the physical limits of how much can be stored. Never bookmarked it thou. See if I can find it again. The Seat app must be a development of that which they were offering to the mib2 high a few years back, which they subsequently added Alexa, then withdrew. You could send destinations with that to the head unit.

My experience of that outing was here, post 16 is when the app got Alexa:

Enabling Wifi Client Mode in Ateca Navigation Plus Units made before week 22, 2017

Following on from the thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=442330 where it became apparent that there is a missing menu option from Atecas Navigation Plus units made before wk 22 2017 which provide the car with a "client wifi option" so the Seat Media Control app can't be...

Seat dipped it's toe in the water with that, but connect services have been running with mib2.5 on VW and Skoda a good time before including the over the air map updates, so I would have expected VW and Skoda to have ironed out issues although this was all on mib2.5 not mib3. Why I think the VAG brand should pool resources between them and not try to reinvent the wheel.

I keep all of my destination in x,y coordinates and import those via Poinspector to mib2, originally a fare few I exported from Co-pilot and added to. I'd expect to populate any mib3 car that I might have in the future off the existing file I have although I reckon I'll wait for mib5 in 10 years time . 5 year life cycle on Mibs. Poinspector doesn't work with mib3 since the direct Poi import functionility has been dropped but is available via the app, no beeps thou on speed cameras.

Might give them 10 years to sort it out after just reading the Spanish Leon Mk4 board on Seat Connect and options. I see we agree elsewhere on that board that you can't import your radio logos onto FL models (mib3) and the missing menu option to import maps offline.

The Seat Media Control app for it on Android has the attached star rating which is somewhat disturbing. Not a hotel you would book into if it was on TripAdvisor.
