This is an update to a previous thread.
Started with a rubbish FIAT Uconnect 5 Sat Nav Radio. Removed that and replaced with Blaupunkt 945.
1 Problem .. The UConnect 5 is a Single DIN Unit whereas the Blaupunkt is Double Din. You need a Dremel or something similar to remove the unwanted plastic.
2 Problem .. Once the New Blaupunkt was fitted the Mileage Flashed.
3 Problem .. No way to set date and time you need the UConnect 5
First bit was easy with a Dremel and a NEW Ducato ..
No Date and time is sorted by getting the Ducato PROXI Reset and telling the vehicle it has an aftermarket radio fitted.
This also stopped the Mileage Flashing
4 Problem .. No SWC Steering Wheel Controls.
Fitted a Connect2 unit that worked but the mileage started flashing again. When the Vehicle was PROXI Reset again it showed it had a radio fitted and date and time change not available Also some of the buttons on the steering wheel did not work with the Blaupunkt Unit. Removed unit and PROXI Reset. Date and time now on MENU Button. No SWC
Found a CX-401 from a supplier in Germany. Shows it works with Blaupunkt and others. Ordered one and fitted it. Steering controls worked perfectly but back to flashing mileage.
Back to Sherwood Truck and Van ( Thanks for your patience ) Plugged in to diagnostics and shows Unexpected Control Unit ( Entertainment Telematic Module ) so removed CX-401 and everything Ok but no SWC Module.
The problem is that the FIAT CanBus does not like anything it's not expecting. Anything you add to the CanBus has to be DUMB and just listen.
:idea:
Consulted Supplier of CX-401 and there is a software update 1.2.4 .. Updated this afternoon and guess what ..
IT ALL WORKS
So I now have a Blaupunkt Android Sat Nav with IGO 8 Software, FM and DAB Radio, SWC that work and I can change the date and time using the MENU button on the dash.
