Hi,
I brought my fiat 500 Lounge (2010) from a private seller around 4 months ago, as it was the first time i'd ever brought a fiat 500 I didnt know what to look for.
Long story short the mileage has flashed continuously since ive had it, the windows & phone button do not work on the steering wheel, and the blue and me system seems to be pretty non existent. Oh and the USB port gives nothing from it.
My start stop was starting to play up and when i started my car it sounded horrendous and sometimes wouldnt start. We realised that the car had been fitted with the wrong battery so we have now swapped that and had a auto electric engineer come out to reset the system to see if he could get the buttons working again. He had said that he cannot find the blue and me system anywhere on his computer and that it either didnt exist in the car or it had been disconnected from somewhere.
Does anyone know if the blue and me system comes in the car as standard? if so would anyone have any idea where it could've been disconnected from? So after all that I still have flashing mileage, the buttons still dont work and blue and me still cannot be found. But at least my car starts now haha! I took it to fiat and they said it was the convergance nodule and they wanted £450 to fix it which i just cannot afford. Bit worrying aswell as the auto electrician told me that he cannot see nor find on his computer this "nodule" that fiat are talking about...
Anyone had the same kind of issues or any ideas on how to resolve this?
Cheers
