There have been several posts in the past few days from different folks reporting that the latest iOS update breaks connectivity with the Blue&Me system in pre '61 reg 500's.
This results in the loss of ability to play music from the phone through the car speakers and the loss of ability to charge the phone.
Pre '61 cars cannot run the latest Blue&Me firmware and it's unlikely there will be any more updates for the early cars, so there is little hope of a fix from Fiat. AIUI, it is also difficult or impossible to roll back the phone software once updated.
As yet, there is no known solution to this issue; please be aware of this before updating (or allowing your phone to update) to iOS11.
I'll edit this post if there is any further relevant news.
