Re: Problem with electronic key

Does your key fob have the special carbon fiber cover? If so, try swapping it with the regular plastic cover. Carbon fiber can act like a Faraday cage and block EMF signals :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: If you don't want to swap covers, you can try rotating the carbon fiber side away from the vehicle...

Re: Lowering the Born

I highly recommend using any kind of online translation tools to go through this German thread: https://www.born-forum.de/forum/thread/178-tieferlegung/?postID=5353 The gist is that lowering the Born will likely lead to vibration on the rear axle and there are some good tips about how to mitigate at...

Re: Servicing

Anyone had their Born serviced lately, and if so what were they charged? Ours is approaching 2 years old and we've been quoted £175 from Cupra Pulman at Sunderland. That doesn't include the pollen filter. They also said brake fluid and aircon services were optional extras, I would not be taking the...

Re: plastic strip below front bonnet bumper cupra born

Do you mean the front spoiler? If so it's part # 10E8059159B9. fwiw it costs about 85 euro including tax in Germany image(11).png It's actually possible to swap it without removing the front bumper. You have to unscrew it and then slice it with a box cutter close to the edge where it clips into the ...

Re: Dealership Enquiry

Why would VW waste money on electricity to fully charge all the EVs they sell? I think the general policy to is ship it with 30-50% charge which is a long-term sweet-spot according to various studies.

It's up to the dealer's discretion to charge it after it arrives

Re: Beats Audio issues

The audio dropouts and stutters affect all of the non-4.0 hardware vehicles on the MEB platform (ID., Enyaq, Born) that are equipped with the premium audio option. It's a ridiculous bug, frankly. The main difference between the regular sound system and beats is the extra audio processing options and...

Re: Internet Radio

Is there anyone who got the Internet Radio function to work? It should work if you connect your born to your mobile phone (with mobile data enabled, of course) Otherwise in Germany at least you can pay for a data package from Cubic - which you can order from the in-car menu. 2 GB for 30 days 6,95€ ...

Re: New Cupra Born VZ !
