Seat Leon - New keys

[Yern]

Check the Connect prices closely, the last renewal for me (previous MK4) was a little over £100 for 2 years. The first renewal was the same price for 1 year. The new MK4 has 3 year free subscription for vehicles built after (roughly) July 2024. Seat informed me this when I enquired what becomes of any previous subscription left on the previous MK4 when I trade the car in, just one of the questions when deciding whether to change or not.

Yes it's like the service and warranty. I took out a 4 year service plan with Seat via the website a few years back that my dealer said they can't sell but available online. This was before inflation took off again. Always a good investment to buy more up front at the right cost. Got a few more years to run on that. Warranty is always a gamble like insurance which is optional. Obviously they make a profit on warranties like pet insurance. Previously working in a government body that didn't insure anything because it was more expensive for the state, the risk was taken by the body in paying up... not always guaranteed if it was nicked. I take that view if you can bear the risk in not taking out the warranty being able to cover the cost better not to.

Connect services are a bit like service plans at the right cost edging towards a warranty if not having connect services you get left out of an update that will cost you money down the road and leads to lower functionality. Not having mib3 I observe what's in and out of connect services and manual updates and people stumbling around to make good on Vag sites.

...at the risk of screwing it all up completely!
