Seat Ateca Sunroof Issue After Coding
Summary of the thread
The 2016 Seat Ateca's sunroof and sunblind became unresponsive after coding changes were made to the vehicle. The issue likely stemmed from the new coding conflicting with the sunroof's default settings, leading to a "Sunroof not initialized" error. A diagnostic tool was required to perform a sunroof reset, which resolved the problem.

Thanks for the reply! I did check the fuses, and they all seem to be fine. The error message is pretty generic, just says "Sunroof not initialized." I haven't really done anything else beyond that. Is there a way to perform a sunroof reset myself, or is that something that requires special software?

Given the error message and the timing with the coding, it's highly probable the sunroof system requires recalibration. While some basic resets can be performed manually, a proper sunroof reset usually necessitates diagnostic software to reinitialize the system. Considering the complexity, it might be prudent to consult a workshop with the appropriate tools. Continuing without proper intervention could risk further damage to the sunroof mechanism.

Just wanted to close the loop on this. Took it to a local garage, and they ran a sunroof reset with their diagnostic tool. Apparently, that's all it needed! Cost me 75€, which is a lot better than I was expecting. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction; I really appreciate it!

The symptoms you describe certainly suggest an issue with the sunroof system's initialization. Since you mention coding, it's plausible the new settings are conflicting with the sunroof's default parameters. Have you tried any basic troubleshooting steps, such as checking the relevant fuses? Does the error message provide any specific codes?
