Hi all just a quick word of warning to all Grande owners.
I took the usb stick out of the glovebox to add some music and to my suprise I also had the actual usb port attached to the stick when I got home!
I called my local Fiat "centre of excellence" who wanted to book the car in but I explained as I was pretty sure something would need replacing that they may want to have a quick look at it and then order whatever and book the car in then.
So thats what they did.
Two weeks of radio only use later the car went in and suprise suprise they weren't able to fix it.
" Good news and bad news" was my welcome ."We know what it needs but as the car is now in its third year dealer warranty , entertainment is NOT covered"
I would also like to add at this point that the car is two weeks into the third year dealer warranty period. Calls to Fiat CS followed and I am still waiting to see if any goodwill exsists as the car apparently needs a "Blue & Me Convergance Unit" That sounds cheap eh ?
I have been very careful with the port and dont even use the glovebox just to be safe as it always looked vert vunerable to damage.
I'm in the lap of the gods now. Can you all cross your fingers for me ????
