2GB RAM / 64GB
The entry option. On the 7-inch radio it is available with Dual USB or USB-C + USB, and it does not include a reverse camera.
SEAT 2005–20131P
SEAT Leon 1P Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Upgrade
The PQ35 Leon, listed to 2013 with a 2013 caution.
The Leon 1P is SEAT’s Golf-era hatch and is listed for 2005–2013. Most 1P cars were gone by 2012. A 2013 Leon can already be the next 5F generation with a different dash. Use this page only if your car is the 1P and the factory radio is the bolted RNS/RCD style.
Both radios include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a CANBUS decoder. They replace the factory radio. They are not add-on modules.
Why upgrade a Leon 1P?
A 1P Leon still looks sharp. The factory stereo is what ages it. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto add maps and music without a phone mount, and a 7-inch or 9-inch screen makes the cabin feel current.
- A modern colour touchscreen in place of the original stereo
- Wireless Apple CarPlay
- Wireless Android Auto
- Google Maps, calls and music without a cable across the dash
- A fresher-looking interior that still looks like your car
- Everyday extras such as Bluetooth, USB charging and optional reverse camera kits
Product options
These are the two existing LJ Automotive radios, not new products. RAM is working memory. More RAM generally helps the radio keep maps, music and other apps open together. We do not promise a specific speed or frame rate.
4GB RAM / 64GB
The usual middle choice. On the 7-inch radio the 4GB options include a reverse camera. On the 9-inch radio 4GB is sold with or without a camera.
6GB RAM / 128GB
The highest option we sell. Both radios include a reverse camera on the 6GB variants. Choose this if you want more working memory and storage.
USB-C versus Dual USB
On the 7-inch radio you can pick Dual USB or USB-C + USB. That is about the physical ports, not CarPlay. Phone linking is wireless on both radios.

- Confirm you have a Leon 1P, not a later 5F. Then photograph the radio. A 2013 registration is not automatic proof.

Models on this page
- Leon 1P (2005–2013 as listed)
Altea 5P is the MPV sibling. Golf Mk5 and Mk6 are the VW twins. Leon 5F is not listed.
Installation considerations
- A 2013 Leon needs a generation check. The 5F dash is not this product.
- FR and Cupra models still have to match the radio opening.
- The Golf Mk6 tutorial is the right family, not a Leon film.
- Many references put Leon 1P production at 2005–2012. The shop chart lists 2005–2013. A 2013 Leon may already be a 5F — send a photo.
CANBUS is included. Steering-wheel controls can work after the correct setting is selected. Factory SEAT menus are not promised.
Installing in a Leon 1P
Radio swap in a PQ35 hatch. The YouTube video is a Golf Mk6. Leon surrounds can differ — do not force SEAT-specific trims.
The installation tutorial we share is a Golf Mk6 radio swap. It is not a film of a Leon 1P, so use it only as a general overview.

More detail
Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and CANBUS
Both radios support wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. You do not need a USB cable to connect your phone.
CANBUS is included. Steering-wheel controls can work after the correct setting is selected. Factory SEAT menus are not promised.
Reverse camera options
Not every option includes a camera. The aftermarket camera supplied with camera options is compatible with the radio it comes with.
We cannot guarantee that a factory reverse camera or parking sensors will work on the new radio. Fitting a camera may involve working with your car's wiring. If you are not confident, use a qualified mechanic or auto electrician.
