Hi,

Recently purchased a Stilo Abarth but it came without the Connect Nav+. Ihave bought one via eBay and have a few dramas. Can anyone help?

It is asking for the Master Code, I do not have this and have asked the person who I bought it off and they are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I have looked through all the paperwork and cannot find it. I have also read in a few of the other threads about reflashing the firmware but really need a step by step guide on how to do this if anyone has one available?

I have also asked at my Local Fiat garage and they said they would look into it and get back to us, which they haven't!

I'm really glad I spent £180 on the system for it to just sit there, any help will be gladly appreciated!

Hi, Welcome to the FF.

This is what you need:


WARNING:It has been reported by some people, that carrying out the firmware update has permanently destroyed their CN+. This could possibly be because the procedure was not followed correctly, or because the car battery was partially discharged. Before proceeding, decide whether you really want the update, and that your battery is not discharged.

Here's a link for the version 9.8 Update disc. You will need to burn it onto a good quality, blank CD-R at slow speed.

[ame="http://rapidshare.com/files/276572663/CN98.ISO.html"]CN98.ISO.html[/ame]​

​

​

This is the Update procedure:

NOTE: Some information stored in memory will be erased once this update starts.

You must follow the instructions exactly as follows:

1. Remove the SIM card then switch the ignition on (DO NOT start the engine).
2. Once the CN+ has fully started, clear any error messages using the “ESCAPE” button.
3. Remove any map or music CD then turn the CN+ off using the “ON” button.
4. Once the CN+ has fully shut down, turn it back on using the “ON” button and clear any error messages using the “ESCAPE” button.
5. Insert the Update CD and wait for the display to show “CD Error”. Clear this message using the “ESCAPE” button.
6. Turn the CN+ off by pressing the “ON” button.
7. Remove the ignition key and then wait about 30 seconds.
8. With the ignition key still removed, switch the CN+ on using the “ON” button.
9. The Update procedure should begin. DO NOT switch the CN+ off during the procedure. The update may stop for a few moments a few times, this is normal. When completed, the blue FIAT logo will appear on the screen and the CD will be ejected automatically.
10. Remove the CD then switch the CN+ off using the “ON” button.

If the update procedure has been successful, when you switch the CN+ back on, it should show 9.8 in the bottom right hand corner of the blue Fiat screen.

NOTE: If the update procedure stops at 50% for more than 5 minutes, or does not complete successfully for any reason, you will probably now have a corrupted flash and a completely dead CN+. It has been reported that pressing buttons 3 then 4 then 5 then 6 then “TEL” will flash all the front panel lights twice and may allow the update to resume. I have never needed to try this, so I don’t know if it works or not. Your only other option though, would be to send the unit to Magneti Marelli in Italy for repair, or to replace the CN+.

After you've updated the firmware, the language of the CN+ will have reverted to Italian. To change the language, you will need the Setup disc.

Here's a link for the Setup disc. You will need to burn it onto a good quality, blank CD-R at slow speed.

​

This is the procedure to change the language:

1. Switch the ignition on.
2. As soon as the CN+ starts, insert the Setup CD and allow the CN+ to boot up normally.
3. Read and clear any warning messages using the “ESCAPE” button.
4. Press "SETUP" then "LANGUAGE" then choose your language.
5. Highlight “OK” then press “ENTER” to accept the new language.
6. Read and follow the warning messages as appropriate. When complete, press “ESCAPE” to clear the final message.
7. Eject the Setup CD.

this may be a very stupid query.

Our Stilo JTD Multiwagon with sat nav and phone was written off a few weeks ago by a careless person who pulled out of a side road as I happened to be driving past.

I have now secure a v nice 2006 Dynamic diesel estate in white which has a fine service history as well the late Stilo remodelled grille seats etc, and perhaps [tho cd radio is working fine] might consider buying
an Abarth sat nav phone etc, as long as comes with all wires etc and master code.

Am I digging up a nice fresh can of worms for myself?

And anyway if no satnav will there be the connections waiting to be plugged in on a Stilo without?

what do you learned bods think?:worship:

Some of the connections to retro fit a Connect Nav unit will not be there, but many people have done it successfully.

For those who don't have Nero to create your discs then 'imgburn' is a great free software to create image files on to disc and more!

It's very simple to use and, again, Free! I use it all the time.
