I have just bought my first Stilo Abarth.
Nice car :)

The thing is, I have found a few problems with her already.


When I turn the stereo on, it seems that it needs quite a bit of time to "warm up". The guy I bought it from said there is some sort of charging going on, so it won't work straight away as it needs to charge a little. That's why it goes off after a few seconds.
What the guy told me seemed believable, as sure enough, after leaving the system for a minute or so, it powered up and worked fine.
However...on the way home, after around half hours drive, I was fiddling with the menus and stuff, using the steering wheel controls and the screen went all scrambled, with lines going across and then switched itself off.
I tried to switch it back on, but it would only stay on for a few seconds.

I'm going to try it again tomorrow when it's all cooled down.


Any ideas in the meantime?


Thanks
 
I have a abarth and the head unit is like any other , it requires no warming up etc I think he's pulling your leg to get the sale

Not the only problem mate :(
I've listed the rest under the Stilo forum.
