I have the cable. I have it connected. I can't work out anywhere on the stereo where it gives a aux option. Is it something that needs activated at the dealership?

Hi Michael

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that the Xcarlink will work with the iphone 3GS / iphone 4 / iphone 4S on a Fiat 500 with B&Me installed. The Bluetooth module is optional and does let you stream music but you will not be able to control the music using the steering wheel/radio controls.

If this resolves your issue, please close your ticket.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen that link elsewhere. TBH its for my wifes car for the very odd occasion i am driving it. She doesnt care a less if it has ipod connection so spending £80 on a connector is pointless.

I thought if i could do it with a cheap cable it would be worth it but it seems not.

For the benefit of those with Pops if you buy the additional module for streaming at £40.68 (total price is now £118.93) you get a handsfree so that cost may be justifiable. I haven't tried this setup but hopefully someone on the FF will try it and give feedback.

I was first aware of this 'device' on the AF so my acknowledgement to them. Feedback has been very positive on the MiTo.
