Introduction

The integrated infotainment system in your Seat Leon can act as a local Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing up to 8 external mobile devices to share an active WLAN internet connection simultaneously.

Alternatively, the infotainment unit can operate as a WLAN client, connecting to an external Wi-Fi network or smartphone hotspot to supply internet access to onboard systems and connected devices.

Note

• Wireless data transmissions may incur cellular service charges depending on your network provider. Due to the substantial volume of data consumed by connected features, using an unlimited flat-rate data plan is recommended. You can also purchase dedicated vehicle data packages directly through the Cubic Telecom portal: https://seat.cubictelecom.com
• Downloading large data packages or purchasing connectivity through third-party providers can lead to unexpected charges, particularly when operating your Seat Leon internationally under active mobile data roaming rates.
