CUPRA CONNECT GEN 3

CUPRA CONNECT's innovative services and functions connect you with your CUPRA and the world. For instance, you can check if all your car’s doors are locked from wherever you are, or you can see where exactly you’ve parked your CUPRA.

Thanks to CUPRA CONNECT services, you can feel safer and more relaxed behind the wheel. Online traffic information makes sure you get to your destination as quickly as possible, while automatic Emergency Call and online Roadside Assistance ensure you feel good while driving. All of these services are only a button away in your CUPRA, computer, smartphone or tablet.

Please note: The availability of CUPRA CONNECT services may vary depending on your country, vehicle and vehicle equipment.

To be able to use CUPRA CONNECT, the car needs the compatible infotainment system version (MIB3), which is available for Ateca, Leon and Formentor.

To use CUPRA CONNECT on a new device, first pair it with your car. All you have to do is:

1. Install the app. You can download the CUPRA CONNECT app on your device at the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or through the QR code which will be shown on your vehicle Infotainment display during the enrollment process. To install the app, follow the store's downloading and installation instructions. 

2. Register with your username and password to create your CUPRA ID. 

3. Add the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your car and accept Terms and Conditions of CONNECT. Once the enrollment is finished, you can make good use of your CUPRA CONNECT Services with your CONNECT app.

You can manage up to 50 vehicles and use services for multiple vehicles with the CUPRA CONNECT app.

In-car activation is the easy way to enrol your vehicle to your CUPRA ID so you can start using CUPRA CONNECT services. The registration assistant will lead you through the simple process of creating your CUPRA ID account in your vehicle, logging in and enrolling your vehicle, and then adding it to the Garage. 

During the registration process, you can view all the legal information (GTC, Privacy Policy) and accept the CUPRA CONNECT contract agreement. 

The VIN (vehicle identification number or chassis number) is your CUPRA's unique 17-digit identification number. You can find the VIN in your registration papers and in the bottom-right corner of the exterior of your windscreen.

You will need it to enrol your car and set up your CUPRA CONNECT profile. 

Yes, a user account (CUPRA CONNECT app) lets you use our full range of services. Already have an account? Just enter your email and password, and click the "Sign In" button. Make sure you don't click the "Register" button in the In-Car Enrollment section, as this might create a duplicate account.

Once you've created your CUPRA ID, you will receive an email asking you to verify your account. Open and click on the link in this email to confirm your account. Now that you're registered, you just need to enrol your car to your user account to enjoy all the CUPRA CONNECT services through the app. Once you have become the Primary User of your car, you will get a confirmation message in the Infotainment system.

To create a user account in your CUPRA CONNECT app, click Login and then Registration. Next, enter your email address and create a password. Then click Registration. You will automatically receive a confirmation email. Click on the link in the email to complete registration. The first time you log in with your user data, you can fill in your personal details (first name, last name, date of birth, etc.). 

To do this, you have two options:

1. Log in in the Infotainment system of the new car by clicking on "add user" in the User menu and follow the instructions to enrol. Once logged in, the new car will appear in the garage of your CONNECT app.

2. Log in to the CUPRA CONNECT app and enter your car's VIN (vehicle identification number). Once the enrollment is finished, the new car will appear in the garage of your CUPRA CONNECT app.

First, check that your CUPRA has an active internet connection and that the registration code you are using hasn't expired (the registration code is valid for 1 year). 

If this doesn't solve the problem, try deleting the vehicle from your CUPRA CONNECT app, in your vehicle settings and adding the vehicle again. You will receive a new registration code to enter in your vehicle.

In order to use CUPRA CONNECT services, you need:

▪ a good internet signal and data connection

▪ the correct VIN of your vehicle linked to your account

▪ a model compatible with the desired services

▪ valid service licenses where applicable (the expiration date of your license can be checked any time in the store of the Infotaiment system.

If you don't activate CUPRA CONNECT services, you can only use the services required by law like the public emergency call.

Please, ensure that the Maximum privacy level is deactivated.

The services get activated for free during one year on car registration day with your warranty signature

You will receive 3 reminders before your licenses expire (1 month, 15 days and 48h prior to expiration). You can also check this in the CUPRA store and in your Infotainment system. To extend your services, simply renew them through shop.mycupra or the Infotainment system store and make the necessary payment.

Contact your local Retailer for more information.

You can renew your services in the Infotainment system store or My CUPRA App. 

You can cancel your contract within the cancellation period (14 days after the service activation) by sending us a statement of withdrawal. You can choose to use our cancellation form if you'd like. You can find this form at the CUPRA CONNECT app under General Terms and Conditions, at the end of the document. If you need more information, please contact CUPRA Customer Care.

If you lose your device, you can change your password by accessing the CUPRA ID Portal from another device. The new password is required to use any CUPRA CONNECT app services. For additional security, you can modify the app settings so that you need to re-enter your password after a period of 5, 10 or 15 minutes with no account activity.

A Secondary User is nominated by the Primary User and gains access to most of the services available in Remote Access and Online Infotainment packages, such as:

▪ Driving data

▪ Vehicle status

▪ Vehicle health report

▪ Remote lock and unlock

▪ Parking Position

▪ Remote ventilation and auxiliary heater

▪ Most of the services available for primary users

However, a secondary user doesn't receive access to:

▪ Speed alert and area alert 

▪ Service Scheduling

▪ In-Car Store, CUPRA Store and DataPlan Webapp

Unfortunately, only one vehicle can be linked to the services agreement. This means it can't be transferred from one vehicle to another. 

The contract ends automatically at the end of each term, it can't be terminated early. A refund of the already paid lump sum licence fee is possible only within the 14-day withdrawal period. The duration of the service is tied to the vehicle.

This means that if you sell your vehicle, the next buyer can continue to use the services until the contract term expires. Please note that if you sell your vehicle, you're required to delete the mapping of the vehicle to your user account by doing a factory reset in the Infotainment system.

You can find the CUPRA CONNECT terms and conditions in the CUPRA CONNECT app and in the Infotainment system.

The Safety & Service package focuses on the safety of you and your passengers by helping you easily manage emergency situations.

If your car breaks down, press the button in the centre of the three-button module to call the Roadside Assistant Call Centre and send your car's diagnostic data. The operator will use the data received to help you identify the issue and order a tow service if necessary. 

If you have a serious accident, you can call Emergency Call Services directly. The tow truck can find your location from your vehicle's data.

Yes, you can use the Breakdown Call service as long as there's a valid call centre number available. You will be put in touch with the call centre from the country of your vehicle's registration.

Customer Care can assist you with any problem concerning your CUPRA CONNECT services or any other CUPRA product. If you want to contact a customer service agent, simply press the Info Call button (the "i" button in your car's three-button module). Your location and service data are not transmitted during the call.

You can find the CUPRA CONNECT terms and conditions in the CUPRA CONNECT app and in the Infotainment System.

When the crash sensors of the vehicle detect an accident which trigger the airbag or the seatbelt tensioner, a connection is automatically established with the country Emergency Centre.

Information about your location and crash time, driving direction and number of passengers is passed on. Please keep in mind, that normally we don't track your location. Your data is transferred only in the case of an accident to ensure your safety.

When you select Delete User or Restore Factory Settings, you reset the Infotainment system to its initial factory settings. This is especially useful if you sell your car to a new owner. You can perform a reset via the CUPRA CONNECT app or directly through the Infotainment system. Keep in mind that performing a reset deletes all of your data and configurations in the onboard Infotainment system. Your CUPRA ID account won't be deleted, but it will be unpaired from the vehicle.

The online system update is a feature that allows your vehicle to receive and install an update to its system functionalities over the air. The update can be done anytime and anywhere. You don't even need to be inside the car.

Your car's online system will be updated remotely. This means you only need to follow a few simple steps in the Infotainment system. The update can take place at any time, but only if you allow it. The update is downloaded during your trip, and the installation takes place when your car is parked.

Service Scheduling makes life easier for you. As soon as your car detects the need for a service, it notifies your preferred CUPRA service partner. The workshop then calls you to arrange a good time for the appointment. No extra effort needed.

Want it your way? You can choose your preferred service partner and contact method (email or phone) in the CUPRA CONNECT app.

When your onboard infotainment system gives you a reminder about an upcoming inspection, your CUPRA service partner receives the following information about your car:

▪ Your contact details (name, telephone and email)

▪ Car details (VIN, model year, car model)

▪ Mileage

▪ Type of inspection (oil change, service interval)

▪ Date and time of notification

▪ Number of days to the next inspection and oil change

Of course. You can change your CUPRA service partner at any time through the CUPRA CONNECT app:

▪ Going to Vehicle option

▪ Click on Your authorised Workshop

▪ Selecting your new preferred partner

With a data plan, you can purchase data for Media and Internet features, so you can use online services such as Online Media or Internet Radio.

You can purchase a data plan outside the car through our partner CUBIC (CUPRA CONNECT app or cupra.cubictelecom.com).

You will also be able to purchase a data plan in the car, via the infotainment system, as long as you activate this option on CUBIC’s website and you are the primary user and owner of the SIM.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact CUBIC’s Customer Services directly (https://cupra.cubictelecom.com/es/contactUs). 

Data plan prices and available countries can be viewed on the website of our partner, CUBIC https://cupra.cubictelecom.com. There are no roaming charges if you travel between the listed countries. If you have any questions, please get in touch with CUBIC Customer Care directly https://cupra.cubictelecom.com/en/contactUs.

The Online Infotainment Update provides you the latest features and improvements for your car wherever you are and at a time of your choice. Instead of going to a workshop, you can do it yourself in just two steps: 

▪ First, download the update. During this step, you can continue to use your car normally.

▪ Then turn off the engine, start the installation and be on your way.

You don't have to wait for it to finish. A notification will inform you if the update was successful or not.

If you own a CUPRA Leon with Navi System or Radio & Navi System, the personalisation service lets you enjoy a custom driving experience. Simply set up your preferences directly from your vehicle, and they will be saved automatically.

For example, you can set your preferred rear view mirror position so that you can just get in your car, sign in with your CUPRA ID and drive off without any hassle.

No, all confidential data (home address, etc.) is blocked until your identification has been confirmed.

Remote Access lets you manage your car and vehicle data at anytime and anywhere from the comfort of your own device.

To reset your CUPRA CONNECT settings via the infotainment system:

1. Tap on the Menu button and then select Setup.

2. Now tap on Factory Settings and then choose if you want to reset your entire CUPRA CONNECT configuration or only one part (e.g. Media). In both cases, you can also reset the vehicle user.

Keep in mind that if you reset the user (delete user/restore factory settings), your vehicle will no longer be linked to your user account and you will lose your vehicle data in the CUPRA CONNECT app.

In the Driving Data section, you can see an overview of your distances (mi), driving times (hours), fuel/gas consumption, average speed per trip and the specific details of each previous journey or day. If your vehicle is an e-Hybrid, you can check the consumption as well as the battery charge.

Vehicle Status shows your vehicle’s remaining fuel range or electric charge status, overall mileage, distance (mi) and days until the next service, distance, days until the next oil change, window and door status (lock & unlock doors and windows) and light position status. If your car is a diesel CUPRA, you can also check the AdBlue autonomy in the CUPRA CONNECT app, in vehicle information section.

The data is usually up to date. When you switch off the engine, it transmits the most recent vehicle status automatically. If you would like a more up-to-date status, you can request it at any time via the CUPRA CONNECT app.

Normally, your vehicle automatically sends the most recent data to the server as soon as you switch off the engine. However, your vehicle can't transmit data if it's in an area with no network coverage, such as an underground car park or dense forest. This may be why the data displayed in your car is more up to date than the data displayed in the app.

The Vehicle Health Report compiles important data concerning your car's mileage, upcoming services and any warning lights displayed on the instrument panel. You cannot print or save the Vehicle Health Report. The data overview is available in your CUPRA CONNECT app as well.

If your car is new and you're in an area with network coverage, you can request your first Vehicle Health Report after you've covered a distance of 20 kilometres or more and switched off the engine. Keep in mind that sometimes it can take a few minutes for your most recent vehicle data to appear in the CUPRA CONNECT app. 

Moreover, you can request a report update by performing a long refresh on the app while the car engine is running. This action will always update the information in the CUPRA CONNECT app.

You can only see a visual overview of the most recent report in the CUPRA CONNECT app.

The Parking Position service lets you search for your car from wherever you are. Getting to your car is quick and easy thanks to the in-app navigation, which clearly displays a map with where you parked, when you parked and even a possible route to your CUPRA.

The Parking Position is usually accurate, within 5 to 10 metres. Accuracy depends on several external factors, particularly GPS signal quality and type of GPS technology used.

The Horn and Turn Signals service in the CUPRA CONNECT app helps you find your CUPRA in a large car park by activating the horn and/or hazard lights once you're within a 500m radius.

The Horn and Turn Signals service only works if:

▪ Your car is parked

▪ The engine is off

▪ The bonnet is closed

▪ The Anti-Theft Alarm is not active

▪ Your device is within 500m of your car. Please check that the position in the app's GPS is correct.

The Remote Lock and Unlock service lets you check and change your car's central locking system from your device.

To use this service, you need to register in the app, identify yourself as an authorised user with your S-PIN and create a CUPRA ID in your dealer, which has to be activated there.

For safety reasons, the Remote Lock and Unlock service can't be used while driving. The service only works if:

▪ Your car is parked

▪ The engine is off

▪ Your car is unlocked (to use the Lock function), or your car is locked (to use the Unlock function)

▪ Driver door is closed

With the Remote Ventilation service, you can control the ventilation system of your car remotely and activate it from CUPRA CONNECT app.

The Area Alert service lets you know if your car is located within your predefined area. For example, if someone has moved your car into or out of an area, you will be notified by email or push notification so that you can take the appropriate steps. This service is only available in vehicles produced from week 25 2022.

The Speed Alert service notifies you when your car exceeds your predefined speed limit. This service is only available in vehicles produced from week 25 2022.

For CUPRA e-Hybrid models, you can manually start the immediate charge to allow an early departure with a fully charged battery.

The charging process is optimally performed to save energy costs. This includes charging during the night or starting and stopping the charging process, depending on your needs.

Also, you are able to set up the maximum charging current (improves the use of the battery and extends its life cycle). Using the CUPRA CONNECT app, the customer can check the charging status, remaining range, remaining charging time and the connection through the charging plug.

For CUPRA e-Hybrid models, the customer can set departure times through the CUPRA CONNECT app.

The vehicle wakes up in time and carries out the charging process and/or the pre-climatisation at the scheduled departure time.

The battery can be charged and the vehicle acclimatised before departure, meaning the battery duration during the trip is improved.

Setting for charging and air conditioning, as well as the battery charging limit, specification of maximum amperage and night-time use can be set by customers. Different charging locations can be also preconfigured.

Online Infotainment improves your overall driving experience by providing real-time navigation information.

Online Infotainment is only available for cars equipped with the Navi System.

Your maps will be updated once a month. The Online Map Update is performed automatically, based on your car position and destination.

The Parking service looks for suitable car parks and displays the number of available spots, opening hours, prices, distance and capacity. This saves you time and reduces risk of distraction.
