Posts: 42 Thanks: 1 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers How large is the memory stick? I think I remember seeing somewhere that the car's computer (based on windows, probably XP), won't recognise anything big, ie anything over about 4Gb. If it IS a windows based operating system from the mid 2000s, then it probably won't recognise any flash memory device bigger than 4Gb. It may also need to be formatted to FAT32 (or maybe NTFS, I can't remember which was Microsoft's preferred system). If you're using a Mac, it may have formatted the usb stick to a different system. (FAT32, the drive software the operating system is very likely expecting to see on the memory stick won't recognise any file larger than 4Gb anyway). Looks like I was wrong about 4Gb being ok..... tried this morning with a 4Gb drive with nothing but music files on it (in folders tbh), and nada. Will try again with all the music files in the root folder (which would seem to be a superfluous test, but hey, windows.)

Genuinely did not expect that. (Especially since the 'MP3-display' options ARE managed through the radio!

Sometimes she'll recognise the word YES straight away but others she'll keep repeating herself and finally switching the voice command back off. Is there a fix for this or is it just her monthly cycle?

Posts: 1 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers Hi I have a 2012 500 twin air and the bluetooth module apparently needs replacing. I works in every way except there is no sound through the speakers. I have been advised to update the software first before removing and replacing the module. I can't find the software to download though. The official site does not work anymore (it needs flash player) so I don't know where to get it from. If any one has a copy of software for the blue and me I would appreciate it greatly. Thankyou

![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers It’s going to become a reoccurring theme and I can’t believe if you found this you’ve not seen the other posts, basically to update the b&m in your car you need to use an update tool (the now defunct website) to establish which bit of software your specific car needs, its not as simple as just using any old software you can find

![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers The blue and me website is running on out of date and insecure software that the makers no longer support because of security concerns.... this is why it is not accessible from regular web browsers Obviously if you want to use equally insecure and dodgy software that’s been linked with all sorts of issues, then that is entirely your choice. Bare in mind that the reason that it does not work on other browsers is because Adobe have killed the flash player so if the site is working on another browser which is not using flash player, then there are bound to be massive security issues in that browser, and that’s without taking into account the reports of that particular browser sending your personal information to servers in China. ![]() So follow this advice at your own risk.

Posts: 143 Thanks: 14 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers Ah Yes, the Rusky's and Chinese are working with Michael Caine on the new Italian Job where they are going to hack all the Fiats and Alfas with Blue&Me and cause traffic chaos worldwide ![]() The statement was quite clear the Blueandme site is NOT defunct. ![]() ![]() Personally we used an old laptop with Windows7 64bit (yes WIN7 too is outdated and not secure but again NOT defunct). I have no personal data or use it for any internet work just for access to blueandme.net and the odd suspect sites we may need to access. That said all our connections go through a VPN and tight security on anything we download. Cnet and Softpedia are well known download sites we use a lot and whilst obviously have their caveats no one can ever consider themselves entirely safe and even as ARK has said previously to use an old out of date browser would be no safer at all ![]() I have been downloading and sending out files on a memory stick and/or transfering them over the internet to those that don't use Windows and get these returned with a SAE that I then check update and modify as required. It keeps one of my work colleagues (Hacky) very happy in between code breaking, who at the moment though cannot stop laughing at the thought of Putin in his palace instructing the KGB to hack the Blueandme website to ground all Fiats so he can sell more Trabants or Ladas. That said maybe Xi Jinping has other thoughts. Don't forget though other warnings to be careful of 5G masts ![]() ![]() BYE

Posts: 143 Thanks: 14 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers I have no idea what a dealer would do when someone has a faulty B&M module as without the access to the blueandme.net site how can a new module be programmed. ![]() ![]() The boss has just ordered 100 2GB USB memory sticks at 15p each (he doesn't know yet)......damn it though they are coming from China so I hope they don't know its for blueandme updates and get intercepted. BYE

That said maybe Xi Jinping has other thoughts. Obviously in this instance you’re recommending other people go out and do what you.... sorry “hacky” is doing, except people will use their own laptops, and computers, they will have files on those computers they don’t want people to have access to and it’s exactly this reason Adobe have killed the Flash Player, because it’s not secure anymore... Your method for fixing this is to deliberately install software which is known to harvest data.... things like passwords, bank card details and the whole history of everything you access online gets held in cookies and other data.. Seems like a genius idea to tell people to install known dodgy software. ![]() It’s a good job “hacky” is the brains of the operation. Byeeee ... ![]()

Posts: 143 Thanks: 14 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers Wow I wondered who was still going round telling people not to buy Lancias because the engine falls out ![]() No one was advising ANYONE to use this browser as their default browser or for their banking or personal data use. It was for access to the Blueandme.net website which you were peddling as defunct and it is NOT. Fake news ![]() ![]() Yes I left that particular forum and have not returned depite some PM's/emails asking me not to leave and how they too have left and had to come back in a disguise avatar refraining from engaging with certain members. Can you not see the word FORUMS top left or understand the difference of a plural even.......perhaps not ![]() BYE BYE
