Hi there, am new to the site after picking up this beauty last week:

I'm coming from a 2017 VW Tiguan 220PS R Line, and while that is a great car it just didn't have the power and handling I was looking for after coming from a MK6 Golf R. The CUPRA Ateca has the power and the ride quality along with the space I need. SEAT isn't that big over here in New Zealand, they have only had a dealership here for about 18 months, and with the CUPRA being so new this is the first batch of them over here but I love the uniqueness.
Was big into the forum scene with the Tiguan, especially with coding (did a lot of work with getting TSR, HBA working and other customisations) so looking forward to seeing what is capable with the Ateca. Have already turned off Stop/Start and enabled Mirror Dip as well so will start tinkering when i have time to see what else can be done.

Welcome you are not the only member from NZ so I am sure you will get a local welcome later.

Very nice car and there are lots of things you can tweak on these motors, what do you use VCDS or something else.

Thanks. I have been using the OBD11 for doing all my tweaks. Also, since it is the engines are the same I have a drop in filter, CTS Turbo inlet pipe and turbo muffler delete I had on the Tiguan which I will move over.

Hi and Welcome, where in N.Z ?, Love that colour definitely suits that body style.

Cheers. I’m in Auckland but don’t hold that against me
I love the colour as well, very close to the Rising Blue Mk6 Golf R I had before the White Tiguan R Line.

Blue was on my shortlist (my last 4 cars have been blue!), but I hadn't seen any Ateca's in the metal with that colour and couldn't find any good pictures either. Looks good, but I still prefer my grey one!

Good man, I love OBD11, Not as all powerfull as VCDS But gives you more than enough for the average user.

I should add if you are not in the closed beta testing group the next release will allow you to run a single backup of all control units - much better.
It also gives you access to

0.14.0 (Closed Beta)
- Added Workshop number Setting
- Added EEPROM function (Go to Control Unit -> EEPROM) - Next one for me to understand
- Added Full Backup (Go to Vehicle -> Backup)
- Extended Backup functionality
- Improved Apps to show newly added Apps
- Improved Charts to support 16 values - Have not had time to test yet but i suspect extra chanels will slow it down.
- Moved Charts access from Live Data to Control Unit

I do like the look of the grey I have seen in all the marketing photos but that wasn’t available, the only colours the dealer here in NZ had was blue, black white and red. Wouldn’t get a black car again and not fussed by red, the white looks good but not as good a the Tiguan was in white. As soon as I saw the blue I knew it was what I wanted especially since it had the bucket seats!!

Thanks, will have to look into the new features. Tempted to get the iOS version as I have a crappy old Samsung tablet just for using with this which is really slow so would be great to use with iPhone or iPads I have.

Any recommend changes for the Ateca?

Will be interested to see what tinkering you get up to!.
Oh and keep us posted on the buckets seats.They are a bit of contentious issue in the uk,being an expensive upgrade (don’t know if they are in NZ),so I would be interested in your thoughts over time as they look great!

I would wait for IOS as you cant code with it yet (by end of year they hope).
Check out https://forums.seatcupra.net/index....vity-working-ones-for-the-ateca.438134/page-4 on this forum and i see you are already on the Ateka forum so hopefully some stuff on there for your car
