Was parking the car and got this. Parking sensors completely unavailable. Never happened before. Any ideas? The reasons the manual mentions (dirty sensors or loud noise disturbing the sensors don't seem to apply.

Hello
I had this a few months ago. It turned out that a stone had hit one of the front parking sensors (one of the dark grey ones in the grille). There was clear damage to the sensor indicating stone impact.
This rendered the whole front parking array inoperative.
I tried aftermarket sensors, but they don’t work. The solution was to purchase the correct part from Seat. The good news is that it is plug and play, the bad news is it’s about £120. With some wiggling it is possible to pass it through the front grille and if it is one of the dark grey ones there is no need to spray it the correct colour.

Thanks for the replies. The fault fixed itself a few hours later and has been fine since, so not really sure what happened. Thank god it wasn't a damaged sensor!

Same issue happened for me today, already had the parking sensor replaced on the front a few months ago, which gave a different error (wanted me to clean it) whereas this has left all my parking sensors unusable!
Hopefully it'll go away, but wondered if it has happened to anyone else recently?
It comes up in the app as well...

How weird, maybe a new update? Would be interesting to see if we are on the same version...
It fixed itself a few hours later! Then a clown bashed my front bumper the next evening and knocked a parking sensor in, damaged the paintwork, and drove off... so now it's definitely not just a software fault
Dashcam install next on the list of priorities!
It was kind of awkward explaining that one to Cupra customer services though
My rear parking sesnors also have this fault but for rear only.
I activated the rear speakers to check if could install them but after resetting I'm still facing this issue anyone else had this ?
I've tired factory reset waiting hours and pulling fuses thanks
