I want to share this with anyone with the same model to save their effort / time.

I have a Fiat Panda 1.3 Multijet (Panda 2nd generation 169) bought in 2006 with a built in radio "blaupunkt 169 cd" showing the "no source available" message.

I followed this procedure:


I was optimistic at first because the radio has the 4 cd changer pins although on the diagram pasted at the back of the radio they are labeled as "NC" (not connected?) instead of "A.AF.L", "A.AF.R" etc.

Still, I thought it was worth a shot (I thought to myself "it has the pins right?") so I bought this cable off Amazon

Although it's from blaupunkt I had to cut a strip of plastic off the corner or it wouldn't click in position.

Once plugged, I turn on the car and it still shows the "no source available" message.

So disappointing.

Wrong cable, you need one with a yellow connector. You then need to remove the existing yellow connector and replace it with the cable you've bought.

I fitted the yellow one and works ok.... But the blue one must work in some circumstances as people buy it? When will the blue one work out of interest?

It may work on the single DIN Panda HU, I've never had a play with one. It certainly doesn't work on the MP3 compatible double DIN unit and I'm assuming neither cable works on the non-MP3 compatible double DIN HU, it being non-MP3 compatible and all.

Other than that possibility, it must just be for other Fiats and sellers assume that it also works in the Panda.

Hey Matt!
Thanks for your input.
Glad to find someone with the same car that knows what I am talking about.

I would like to listen to music from an iphone via an AUX.

Alas my car doesn't have the "mp3" sticky on the front.

Behind I only have the two gray connectors shown in this picture.

No blue, no green, no yellow connectors.
I have exactly what the guy in the video above has (except the "mp3" sticky).

Can I do anything?
I would even give up the FM in exchange as there is only rubbish there.

Hi, i have a problem with my radio, and i want buy a Aux.

But, my car doesn't have the "mp3" sticky on the front

The model is -> BlauPunk 169 CD/MP3 SW ver 2.86

My question is, which Aux should buy ? The blue or yellow?

Mine's a 2005 Dynamic with a double DIN head unit and it plays some home recorded discs that my home CD player won't. Someone suggested that they may have been recorded in the MP3 format but it sounds from here that an older unit like mine won't play that kind of disc.

Or have I misunderstood?

Anyone know, if the Blaupunk has a secret menu or something?

I can't find the aux option in the menu
