Yes, you can keep music on the stick - it just needs a little bit of space left over to record its info.
That port is fine.
Shouldn't affect your map, but your map might affect the results you get from eco-Drive.

Hi just wondered if anyone knows if it saves things like speed, I assume it does. No one worried about it saving them speeding?!

not worried
Hey, you've got a point it may well be recording you speeding but the data transmitted to FIAT in theory (in the terms & conditions) is anonymous and i dont think anywhere in the interface the speeds on a journey are shown to the user.
If it didnt take speeds into consideration i think the calculations being performed would be majorly flawed also.
Either way i dont see FIAT dobbing us in for it......

Can you use your Ipod instead of a USB stick?
Just followed the instructions on the fiat website to a T and when i turn the car on it wont install it says config. error. W T F ?

you've got an old version of the blue and me software on your car, older than the v5.3 that this ecodrive is designed to be installed on...

Time for another dumb Q from Ffoxy...
So I get any new USB stick from PCWorld or the like, drop the software hack onto it from my laptop and plug it into my USB port in the car.... then after a while I remove it and plug it back into my laptop and it tells me stuff....? How is it presented, on a graph or what?
Stuff that can show me how "green" I drive, gearchange points, how I could drive smoother and cleaner...? Yea?

if your car is more than a year or so old you might have to do the hack mentioned above, but seems to work well after i did the hack.

Watch this - http://www.fiat.co.uk/ecodrive/#ecodrive/intro you will love it!
then get it here - http://www.fiat.co.uk/ecodrive/#ecodrive/download
once its on your stick, do the hack.
"Reeeto, Ive sorted it.
Some of us are still runing 5.2 software (not sure if this can be updated at the dealers) but
if you open the file (PENDRIVE:\Install.inf) it only has the 5.3 installer.
[Windows Mobile for Automotive 5.3]
Open1 = \iFiat\ED7_R_x_4_EcoDrive-1100_single-install_F.ARM920.CAB
Change it to be like this
[Windows Mobile for Automotive 5.2]
Open1 = \iFiat\ED7_R_x_4_EcoDrive-1100_single-install_F.ARM920.CAB
[Windows Mobile for Automotive 5.3]
Open1 = \iFiat\ED7_R_x_4_EcoDrive-1100_single-install_F.ARM920.CAB
Then go and install.
Once its done turn off the key and then restart the car.
Press Windows and say "ECODRIVE ON"
Mrs Blue will let you know that its on."
and your sorted!!
nb. the car instalation instructions are shown and printable when you are doing the instalation process on the PC, very step by step its good.
