What data is stored in SEAT systems?
Only nickname, e-mail and password
(or social identifier if the user uses
a Social Network to login)
What’s my user id for login?
Good question. It is the e-mail you used
to register, not the nickname.
Will the app publish something
in my social networks?
Not without your consent (i.e. if you
want to share your challenger results
in the social networks, the App requests
your approval for it).
Information published depends on
your device and social network security
settings. Why are there widgets that can not be
added twice?
There are some widgets that make sense
to add more than once, for example,
the contact shortcut with different actions/
contacts. However other widgets like
Miniplayer can only be added once,
because there is only one media source
(MIB) to be managed.
How does the Weather feature work?
User can configure one, or more, specific
locations (i.e. “Barcelona”) or navigation
destinations to display its weather status.
Once configured, the widget refreshes the
data every 3 hours (for specific locations)
or 10 km (for current location weather).
How does the Miniplayer feature work?
At the moment only audio from the MIB
(radio, SD, HDD, …) is available to be
managed using the app. Sources from
the device connected to MirrorLink™
such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi streaming
are not supported yet. How does the Tracker feature work?
When a user saves a track using this
widget, they will be able to review the car
data (speed, rpm, consumption and gear)
later out-car, using the Tracks menu.
How does the Read to me feature work?
the language used in the speech feeds is
configured in the device: Under Language
& Keyboard settings > Text-to-speech engine
(in Samsung it has to be configured to use
the Google engine, not the Samsung
engine).
It has to be downloaded (using “Install
voice data” option) in order to be used
without connectivity (common in-car
circumstance).
If the feed (twitter, mail, etc.) is in a different
language than the configured in the user
device, engine will try to “read” the feed in
the configured language, and not in the
one used in the feed. This is because the
app (like any other feeds reader) does not
have the ability to check each feed language.
8. SEAT C onnectApp and SEAT Drive App FAQ’ S
What is the Challenger feature?
All the challenges are oriented to basic
drive-efficiency, not racing. They are not
exhaustive and they are not optimized for
each engine model, they are quite general.
The user, as the Disclaimer app says, is
responsible to respect the traffic restrictions.
When possible, the app adapts to the
car capabilities. For instance in a DSG
car, the challenger related to gear-shift
will not start until the gear mode is changed
to sequential.
Out car mode: Is this the same app?
Yes, it is the same app that adapts to
in-car (vehicle’s infotainment touchscreen
display and out-car modes (smartphone
device screen).
Out Car mode: what is the My track feature?
In this section user can review the tracks
that have been recorded while driving.
This section is expected to be improved
dramatically in the next version (including
maps and tracks comparison). Which cars are compatible with the app?
App requires second generation of
Infotainment systems with the FullLink
package configured.
Systems compatible are: Media System
Plus, Navi System and Navi System Plus.
The models compatible are Ibiza, Leon,
Toledo and Alhambra.
Which mobile devices are compatible
with the app?
MirrorLink is an OS agnostic technology
Currently, only some Android Phones that
include an implementation of the
MirrorLink 1.1 (this implementation
depends on the Device Maker,
not Google).
What happens if your device loses
its coverage? What features don’t work
without coverage?
POI search, Weather, Read to me, will
not be available without connectivity.
User configuration and status (Challenger)
will not refresh in the backend until
connectivity is recovered, however these
features will be fully functional for the user. What happens in Roaming mode?
Like any other app, data transfer in roaming
scenarios will be enabled if the user has
allowed it in the phone settings. This topic
does not depend on the app itself.
Who provides the Weather information?
OpenWeatherMap Warning quota usage
limits: 3.000 requests per minute.
Who provides the POI information?
Foursquare Warning quota usage limits:
5.000 requests per hour (a typical POI
search performs 5 – 10 requests, but
the Backend implements mechanism
to optimize this usage).
