If I sell my car, can I transfer my contract to the new owner?

Yes. First, decouple your vehicle from your user account by restoring to factory settings in Infotainment menu. The new owner can then register in the My CUPRA app and link the vehicle to their user account, to continue using the services until the contract expiration, since the CONNECT licenses are linked to the vehicle and not to the ID.

I've purchased a second-hand CUPRA and I'd like to take over the previous owner's contract, so I can use the CUPRA CONNECT services. How can I transfer the contract?

The services contract term is linked to the vehicle, not to the user, so the new owner can continue using the services until the contract expires. To use CUPRA CONNECT services, create a CUPRA CONNECT user account in My CUPRA app, if you haven't already done so. Enter your CUPRA's vehicle identification number (VIN) during the Add Vehicle step. You will then receive a notification telling you that you can change the primary user. The previous owner will also be notified of this by email.

How do I receive my invoice after I've made a payment?

You will receive your invoice via email. It will never be sent by post. You can also download your invoice in the CUPRA Store by logging in with your user account. If you haven't received your invoice, please contact CUPRA Customer Care.
