Hi all,
Bit of guidance please
I own a fiat 500s convertible.
66 plate no sat nav so my question is can you get sat nav fitted if so how much is it apx please.

Also this uconnect can I use the sat nav and apps via my phone ? My phone e is a Samsung 9+.
Thanks for you help in advance.
 
Hi there.

As far as I know you can only use your phone satnav via the screen on the dash, if your car is pre configured for it (such as on a Mirror model).

I have the same uconnect on my '18 500S and whilst it will read me my text messages, stream music via apps, podcasts and spotify and make calls, I can't use my iPhone's sat nav via it either.

When everything gets back to 'whatever normal will be' I was going to ring the dealership to see if it could be retrospectively loaded on an update or something.

(Sits, drinking tea - waiting for an expert to pass by)

With Apple carplay you can use your satnav via the screen but you can also pick the phone up and see the maps on the screen of the phone.

On other cars like my Punto or wife’s 2017 mini (which does have satnav anyway) you can still plug the phone in and use the phone as a satnav mounted on the dash or windscreen in a holder, and still charge via usb. Now I have android auto on my golf but I don’t have an android phone so have no idea how it would work with a Samsung
