READ TO ME
With Read to Me you can keep up with 
everything that’s happening in the world 
and your social circles. It’s possible to 
sync your email, Twitter and Facebook 
accounts and your car will read updates and 
messages from friends out loud. 
Remember to configure your Social Network 
settings out of the car, as you won’t be able 
to manage it while driving, for your own 
safety. The language settings from your 
mobile device will determine the language 
Read to Me will use. Remember to Download 
TTS Engine from Google in case your device 
doesn’t have it.

CAR STATUS
This allows you to check your car’s “health” 
at any moment with information about your 
oil level, battery, wheels, lights, engine, 
wiper fluid and lock system. It also gives 
warnings when the car detects a need for 
maintenance in any of these areas. Car status 
also allows you to search for your nearest 
SEAT dealership and will even send exclusive 
offers and special discounts on things like 
car check ups and oil filter changes.

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.

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).
