I've had the fiat Cd changer in for a week now and i must say that i'm not verry impressed. A part from the fact that every time you turn the car off it only seems to remember the Cd you were on (and not the track) i have found that every time i use the phone on my sat nav the Cd starts all over again!!! is this normal??? Is there any way to fix either of these problems??
Tanks a bunch,

Hi

What you are experiencing is indeed normal, and a right pain in the butt.

I am hoping this will be cured by the time the next update comes out for the NAV+ system - fingers crossed.

Have read that this issue only really affects the SatNav Cd units and not the normal Cd unitsand can be worse when mp3 cds are used.

Exactly, which is why I am hoping the next firmware upgrade SHOULD resolve it

Do me a favour and carry out a little test for me, to confirm my thoughts.

Play a CD in the multichanger and set the volume to about 14-15. During quiet parts / in between tracks, can you hear a high-pitched whine in the background ?

I had this on my first Stilo Abarth and I've got exactly the same on my current one. It's bloody annoying and Fiat are allegedly 'aware' of it, but in usual style, pass the buck between Visteon, Blaupunkt and Uncle Tom Cobbley as to who's fault it is and what can be done about it. On my last one, Fiat refunded me the money for the CD changer, with me keeping it in place and I can see this one going the same way.

I hadn't actually noticed that but i will try it and tell u the result.

I tried that today, and never heard a high-pitched whine?!

I wish I could in some way record it, but it'd probably lose quality in recording and I doubt you'd hear it. I might try it, though.

I don't seem to get the high pitch whine either. CDC works fine as far as sound is concerned.
