Can anyone help?
We have a new Abarth 500 and I'm having a few teething issues with it.
We were unable to buy it WITHOUT the pressure guage pod - they would not let us opt out. I find it distracting when it flashes and have no interest in the pressure of whatever it is it measures (not 100% sure and even less sure if low is good or not).
Next, we did opt for the blue and me nav - which is utterly appalling. Only 3 roads in our village are listed and I don't live on one of them.
I do have a road angel 9000 (cracking bit of kit - if a bit old now).
What I want to do is move the pressure guage thing (in the manual it shows it tucked neatly out of the way behind the indicator (page 18), and attach a sat nav in its place.
I have seen that some people have a little connector here and I wonder if this is a universal thing (blue and me map or pressure guage) or if I can add some after market kit, or even if I can use a fiat sat nav bracket and modify it to fit my road angel 9000.
With the rubbish nav, the buggy blue &me, the media player that keeps crashing and the parking sensors that beep all the time I'm beginning to wish I'd never bought this car and its only done 200 miles.
Can anyone help?
This pic shows the pressure pod thing in case you didn't come across it:
