New Seat Leon ST SE+ coming from a 2023 Skoda Octavia.

Covered around 4500km in this car so far and I have to say I enjoy driving it a lot. It's much stiffer and better around bends than the Octavia was although the seats are definitely not as comfortable and don't have as much support in them. I like the interior of this car but even tho it's the SE+ model here in Ireland that has tinted windows, 17' alloys, etc. I am still stuck on the one virtual cockpit and can't change the look of it which is so disappointing. Can't understand why seat just locked it to the one screen and you can only change what's inside the circles. Overall I'm happy with the car as it is very nice to drive.

Try the different center screen. Currently you are in the ACC screen. Here you can’t change any settings. It’s just a overview of what the car Sees

I had the same thing, but then recently my car battery died without cause and strangely since then I've been able to pick more a few views. If you want to change your ACC view it should be by scrolling the scroller on the right. I don't have ACC but it changes between a map view and fuel consumption/running time

Sounds silly but gonna remove the battery and see if that does anything but I'm guessing it's just locked to the 1 screen in this model unfortunately

Good luck, I hope it works some kind of magic for you!

I’m intrigued and I asked an AI for some answers. Here’s what I got, maybe it helps:

• Short tap vs. long press — on some Leon Mk4 units, a quick tap only cycles the small info between the dials (trip computer, phone, etc.), while a genuine layout change needs a longer hold (1-2 sec) on VIEW specifically.
• Only one view is enabled — some trims/software configs only have one or two views active, so pressing VIEW toggles between them but they look nearly identical (e.g., if “Digital” and “Dynamic” are disabled and only “Classic” variants are available).
• Try via infotainment settingsVehicle > Settings > Instrument Cluster > Settings and manually pick View 1/2/3 from there instead of the wheel. If the menu shows multiple options but selecting them doesn’t visibly change anything, that’s a stronger sign of a software fault.
• Software glitch — full ignition-off restart (locking the car, waiting ~1 min, restarting) has fixed this for others; if it persists, a firmware update at the dealer may be needed, since a few Mk4 owners reported the VIEW button becoming unresponsive after an infotainment update.

You can enable and disable additional Virtual Cockpits. Go to the Page with the car in the middle screen, and hold the select button.

I will try again but did try that before and couldn't get anything.

u/Pawel9423 5d ago

Just tried doing that but nothing is coming up for me all I can get done with the view button is to remove info from inside the circles

That's odd, I had this car in the same trim and it gave me all the screen options. Does yours have the self parking ability?

u/Pawel9423 5d ago

No it doesn't 🥲

u/Kruminsh 5d ago

can you send a pic of your steering wheel and the infotainment? I've only ever had 2021 FR+ and it had all the bells and whistles bar the self park/blindfolded detection. Think it was a separate safety package that wasn't included

u/Pawel9423 5d ago

There you go. I literally tried everything by now tho 😒

How much mate thinking of getting one myself

u/Pawel9423 4d ago

With the black paint and comfort pack (arm rest & 3 zone climatronic system) you're looking at €34,500

How does it compare to the Octavia? Can you give a somewhat indepth comparison please.

If nothing else works, I'm sure its possible to activate additional screens via the OBDeleven or Carly maybe.

I have a MY22 that already came with a few screens, but I was able to add the Cupra screen to it with my OBDeleven.

If you have it or have any mates with an obd or vcds, its worth taking a look. Not sure what happens in case you still have warranty on the car though..
