Aux port/ USB - Activating?

[Jacey Boy]

We have an 07 Cupra, there is a Aux port on the centre arm space but upon trying to connect it to the stereo nothing happens, so I checked the Audio manual and according to it there should be a CD/AUX button on the unit, but there isnt, just CD only, also says there should be a USB port under the seat but there isnt, should we have this on the car as the Aux port is there?

IIRC if you have the ipod conector under your seat you dont have the AUX in the centre console.

to use the AUX i think you have to go into the stereos menu and enable it , cant remeber what button to press , have a search , its been discussed before.
once its enabled you can get it by flicking through the source button on your steering wheel.

Thanks, will try on the car later, cant find anything on the forum though

you can only have 1 extra inpout on the head unit; so thats either a CD changer, Aux In, Ipod, or USB.

 

[Jacey Boy]

I dont know what I have, all I know is the Aux input box is in the side console, but I cant get it to work on the unit?, or dont know how too

 

[Jacey Boy]

Any ideas or help with this?, thanks

The button on the head unit should say CD/AUX, I find it odd that it only says CD.
Perhaps the head unit in your car was swapped out at some stage for a model without AUX in?

Do you think its worth going to Seat and seeing if they will replace it?

Should be in the setup menu .. and then you will need to put a tick in "Activate AUX port".

Mine's got CD/HDD/AUX at the top

Cant recall direct instructions... Will pop out to car on lunch break to have a look

 

[Jacey Boy]

Thanks for doing that, how do you get into the setup menu?

Have you got Touch screen display?

Have you got Touch screen display?

This is what I have....

 

[CupraLee K1]

Right ok .. I've got the Touchscreen Sat Nav thingy-bob so that's how i got into it last time because there is a button on bottom right that says 'Setup'

As for your one pal .. unfortunately cant help .. Sorry

Have you tried pressing the CD button twice? True, for most people it does say CD/AUX, but the function underneath should be the same.

Pressing it multiple times should swap between the CD and AUX inputs.

(If you're in Radio mode and press the CD/AUX button while the CD drive is empty, it will usually "ping" and jump you into AUX mode instead.)

 

[Jacey Boy]

Yep tried that

From memory:

Turn the head unit on
Press 'PROG'
Press the round button below the '>' arrow on the screen
Press the round button below the 'auxin' (I think) option
Press the '<' or '>' (next/prev track buttons above the volume control) to turn it on or off.

If you don't get an 'auxin' (or similar) option, then check if you have the 'CD changer' icon on the screen. It'll be next to the single circle icon (which indicates a CD is inserted), and will look like two overlapping circles. If this is present, then the unit thinks a CD changer/ipod/USB is connected, and won't enable the aux in socket.

From what I know there 2 versions of the SE3xx head unit that were used in pre-facelift Mk2 Leons:

- SE359: Non-MP3 unit, with 'CD' button, used in MY05 & 06 cars (Pic)
- SE360: MP3 unit, with 'CD/AUX' button used in MY07 & 08 cars (Pic)

Looks like your car got the aux-in centre console jack, but got an MP3 head unit without the 'AUX' label on the 'CD' button, so maybe there is a third version of the unit with MP3 capability but no 'AUX' input selection. Would be interesting to know if these unit have CD changer control capability or not....

I dont have the aux function under the program option, but I do have the two round circles over lapping

If you put the radio onto the 'AM' band, do the circles disappear? It could be that's the FM stereo indicator, as they look similar.

 

[Jacey Boy]

Yes it does disappear

 

[LeonMunkee]

Yes it does disappear

It's the FM stereo indicator then, and not a CD changer icon.

If I had to guess I'd say your car got the centre console from the 07 model year but an earlier head unit which couldn't use the input (or the input was not connected). Have you had it since new, or is it possible a previous owner had the head unit changed? I know some poeple had the 'CD DRIVE ERROR' defect and had the units replaced under warranty, so maybe the wrong replacement unit was used.

Does it play MP3 CDs correctly, or only normal audio CDs?

Either way, I'm not really sure what else to suggest, apart from taking it to the dealer and asking him to investigate.
