S-PIN

The S-PIN is a sequence of several digits,
which can be selected when completed the
SEAT CONNECT registration.

When creating the S-PIN, avoid easy-to-
guess number sequences and known dates
of birth. You can change the S-PIN in the SEAT
CONNECT user account in “Account set-
tings”.

The S-PIN is necessary, for example, to pro-
tect your user profile or to run a SEAT CON-
NECT service relevant to the security of your
vehicle.

You must manage this S-PIN with absolute
confidentiality. If you reveal the S-PIN to third
parties, for security reasons you must change
it immediately.

Ownership and identity accredita-
tion

Depending on the Infotainment system, the
ownership accreditation method will be the
2-key method or the registration code meth-
od.

9.2” Infotainment system

To become a main user and thus prove own-
ership of the vehicle, you need both of the ve-
hicle’s physical keys. Ownership accredita-
tion takes place in the vehicle during registra-
tion or, if you already have a SEAT CONNECT
user account, you must log in through the in-
fotainment system and then go to

Manage

users

●

Switch on the ignition and the infotainment

system.

●

In the infotainment system, register in SEAT

CONNECT.

●

Or:

open the menu

Manage users > Set-

tings > Become primary user

and follow the

instructions.

●

Press the unlock button on the first vehicle

key.

●

Press the unlock button on the second vehi-

cle key.

8.25” Infotainment system

To become the main user and therefore ac-
credit ownership of the vehicle, you will need
the registration code found on the SEAT Web
Portal and in the APP after linking the vehicle
to your account (

My Garage > Add Vehicle

> Accept terms and conditions and SEAT
privacy policy

). Ownership is accredited in-

side the vehicle. Go to

Vehicle settings >

SEAT CONNECT > Registration

and enter

157

Infotainment system

the registration code shown on the Web Por-
tal or in the App.

Once the infotainment system has processed
the orders by radiofrequency, the accredita-
tion of the ownership will have been comple-
ted. You can control the current status in the
SEAT CONNECT portal.

Identity accreditation (SEAT Ident)

Identity accreditation must be done before
you can use SEAT CONNECT services that
are relevant to security, such as the “Remote
Opening” service. Identity accreditation can
be done in two ways:

●

In person at the SEAT dealership.

●

You can find more information about SEAT

Ident on the SEAT CONNECT portal at
https://my.seat.

Legal provisions

During the use of SEAT CONNECT services,
information is transferred and processed on-
line through the vehicle. Such data can also
provide (at least indirectly) information about
the driver in question, for example, driving be-
haviour and location. As a contracting party
in the SEAT CONNECT contract with SEAT,
S.A., you must ensure that when your vehicle
is used by other drivers (for example, family or
friends), data protection and personal rights
are respected. Therefore, you must inform
drivers in advance that the vehicle transfers
and receives data online, and that you can
access such data.

Not taking into account this obligation to in-
form, can infringe certain rights of the occu-
pants.

Users can manage data sending and trans-
fers through the privacy mode at any time.
More information at: https://my.seat/faq.

Follow-up services: ask all occupants

The follow-up services need geographical
and vehicle data to determine whether the
vehicle is being used within defined speed
ranges, where it has been parked or if it is be-
ing used in an established geographical area.
This information is displayed on the SEAT
CONNECT portal and in the SEAT CONNECT
app.

Therefore, before moving off, ask all the vehi-
cle occupants if they agree with the activa-
ted services. If they do not, deactivate the
service in question (if possible) or do not al-
low the occupants to use the vehicle.

GPS tracking: marking

If the vehicle has a factory-assembled con-
trol unit that transmits the its current geo-
graphical position and speed, the vehicle
usually has this GPS marking (e.g., on the roof
console). The absence of the marking on the
vehicle does not guarantee that the control
unit does not transmit the vehicle’s current
geographical position and speed.

Personal information

SEAT protects your personal data and only
uses them, as long as the law allows it or you
have given your consent on the occasion of a
use. You will find detailed information on data
processing in relation to SEAT CONNECT
services in the Privacy Policy, which you can
access in its corresponding current version
on the SEAT website.

Permanent transfer of the vehicle

If another person has left you the vehicle for
permanent use (for example, if you buy a
used vehicle), SEAT CONNECT may already
be activated and the previous user still has

158

Data transfer

the possibility of accessing the data regis-
tered through SEAT CONNECT and control
certain functions of your vehicle.

In the infotainment system you can check if
your vehicle is assigned to a person as the
main user. In this case, you can register your-
self as the main user of the vehicle and thus
automatically delete the previous main user.
Alternatively, through the infotainment sys-
tem you can directly and permanently delete
the previous user as the main user, as well as
put the vehicle in offline mode and thus limit
both the communication of your vehicle with
the SEAT, S.A. data server and the processing
of personal and vehicle data.

Deactivating SEAT CONNECT serv-
ices

The following functions are available in the
infotainment system to deactivate and acti-
vate SEAT CONNECT services:

●

Central deactivation or activation

●

Individual deactivation or activation

You can rerun the corresponding services af-
ter cancelling their deactivation in the info-
tainment system.

Note

The services required by law and their data
transmission, such as the public emergen-
cy call system, cannot be disconnected or
deactivated.

Faults

Even if the prerequisites for the use of SEAT
CONNECT services are met, there may be
factors beyond the control of SEAT, S.A. that
interfere with the execution of such services
or prevent them. These may be specifically:

●

Maintenance, repair, deactivation, software

update and technical expansion of telecom-
munication equipment, satellites, servers and
data banks.

●

Change of the mobile telephony standard

for the transmission of mobile data by the tel-
ecommunications service provider, for exam-
ple, from UMTS to EDGE or GPRS.

●

Disconnection of an existing mobile phone

standard by the telecommunications service
provider.

●

Interference, disturbance or interruption in

the reception of the mobile phone and GPS
signal due to aspects such as high-speed
driving, solar storms, meteorological influen-
ces, topography, blocking equipment and the
intensive use of mobile phones in the radio
cells in question.

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient mo-

bile telephony or GPS signal. Also, for exam-
ple, in tunnels, confined areas between very
tall buildings, garages, underpasses, moun-
tains and valleys.

●

External information from third party sup-

plies available with limitations, incomplete or
incorrect, e.g. representations of maps.

●

Countries and regions where SEAT CON-

NECT is not offered.

Introduction

Voice control works both online and offline. In
online mode, commands are recorded more
accurately, as more data is available.

Voice control understands questions and ex-
pressions without having to learn commands.
Commands can be formulated freely and
can be colloquial. You will find proposals for
commands in the infotainment system.

Functions are reduced in offline mode.

Loud noises inside or outside the vehicle can
cause malfunctions, as well as confusing
phrases and answers.

Languages available depending on the
market

Online and offline:

German, American Eng-

lish, British English, French, Italian, Spanish
and Czech. These languages have advanced
functions such as Online Commands, natural
interaction, etc.

The other languages of the infotainment sys-
tem

Commands

For voice control to recognise commands re-
liably, bear in mind the following tips for the
commands to work properly:

●

Pronounce clearly. Confusing commands

are not recognised. Speak in a normal tone of
voice. Speak a little louder if you are driving
at high speed.

●

Avoid outside noises. Open windows and

doors can interfere with voice control.

●

Avoid other secondary noises, such as con-

versations in the vehicle. Do not direct the air
flow from the outlets towards the microphone
or the interior lining of the roof.

●

Do not use a very strong accent or dialec-

tal.

●

Do not make long pauses.



Voice control is active and recognises the
words pronounced.

Note

●

ted, the infotainment system cannot be
