Re: Should I buy a Born until the issues are resolved

Like Monkey hanger I have had an ID3 and now a Born since June 22. There is a lot said about issues of both cars and although some can be an irritation it's not like a long walk with a stone in your shoe. I adapted to the haptic buttons in no time at all. I occasionally touch a button on the wheel b...

Re: Heko wind deflectors

I was going to fit them to leave windows open slightly in summer for less noise & save on using air con but they apparently don't reduce wind noise. If you want the outside air you can run on fan only by selecting LO temperature with the AC button off but Climate ON. You then have fan only that...

Re: How long until current trip is reset?

How long does the car have to be stopped before it resets the current trip (consumption, distance, average speed etc shown as "Since start")? This morning I took my daughter to speech therapy, got out for 2-3 minutes to take her to the door, then went back and sat in the car with the radi...

Re: Hi from Portugal

Hi mluisbrown and welcome to the forum.
No rear speakers rattles a lot of owners. We are all different and it doesn't bother me. I rarely have any music on at all.
Do you have a blue interior? Not seen that before.
I thought all Borns were black!

Re: AC charging fault

Just a quick update on this, my car is now repaired and back with me in under 2 weeks. Apparently it was a faulty Onboard Charger Control Unit (I understand there are a few different Control Units on this vehicle) rather than a problem with the charger itself, which was causing the vehicle to not c...

Re: New owner of Cupra Born - beginner questions

Software 4.0 will require new ICAS3 hardware, so it doesn't look like any of the current Born/ID-series owners will get that @Elea4 you mean that all current Born/ID series cars will never get any upgrades beyond 3.x? What is the ICAS3 hardware and could it be updated to enable further updates? btw...

I've not heard of that particular fault before. Surprised the HUD still functioned.
