General Does my car have android auto and auto-stop start

[mh8782]

Hi, I have a 500 lounge cabriolet, made in 2017. I am currently selling the car (love it, but sadly surplus to requirements with a growing family), and I am not sure if my car has two features:

• Android Auto
• Auto stop/start

How would I go about checking if my car has these functionalities?

Thanks for any help.

Hi your car is a face lift so I’m guessing you have the U connect system not android (someone correct me if I’m wrong) as for stop/start i believe they had done away with it by 2017 due to it being flaky and not working!
Again someone correct me if I’m incorrect

Thanks, does that make the Uconnect an upgrade?

In my humble opinion yes it’s a newer technology whereas pre 2016 500s like the lounge model came with a system called blue & me and a basic stereo I presume you have the touchscreen with DAB radio older models didn’t have DAB

Thanks, we definitely have the HD 7 inch screen, but Android Auto seems to be something additional. I'm not sure, and just cannot find it anywhere.

It may only have been available as an “extra” when the car was factory fresh and from what I’ve read not a cheap addition

Have you tried to find out the full spec list of your car? The info is out there with the help of google

I found out my factory spec on autoDNA only cost a few pounds

For instance this was my factory spec list!

Your friendly fiat parts department will give you that info for free if you ask nicely
