Had the car for just over 1 week. Drove it around 300miles and I'm happy with it so far (wife despises it)

However

The stereo is really winding me up...it's awful!
The actual worst I've ever had in any car. It's really getting to me.
There is no difference in volume from 60-100%
I've done all the EQ settings and put Bluetooth settings to LOUD but it makes no difference. For a top spec model they have really ballsed it up!

Same here. Will get a quote for upgrade next week.
Shitty sound from Beats indeed…

Count yourself lucky, that the eCall SOS system hasn't packed in yet. It kicks you off Bluetooth as well so renders my mobile and music useless (as well as breaches the legal requirement for a working eCall system). Fingers crossed the sos light stays on green for you, it has been red on and off and in the garage 4 times for me over 6 months. Sounds like a major recall could be on its way soon, SEAT technical don't know how to fix it but are apparently working on it.

My car is less than two weeks old. So far no eCall error. Fingers crossed.

There is a cheap and non-permemant solution to the audio issue (non Beats)... Fit a DSP like I did!

I have the one for sale in the post as I upgraded to a 31 channel DSP (for the dedicated sub output). PM me if you are interesed,

The DSP will make the sound night and day difference.

Good idea, thanks!
Meanwhile changed Spotify settings and now it sounds much better.

What settings in Spotify did you change?

Sound quality and equaliser.
