Technical A Panda in the family! Nicknamed "Silver"

[thyssenkrupp]

Hello everyone, and thank you for accepting me into this forum!

We have just purchased this silver/gray 2017 Fiat Panda TwinAir 80 (Lounge) with 28500 miles.
Its a vehicle for my wife but I certainly had a play in the decision-making process, as I have wanted a Panda for a long time!

I have a few questions in regards to a few parts;

- The 7" touch screen head unit, which is an option for 2021+ Pandas I believe, would that by any chance be plug and play? If so, what about the part numbers for the dashboard air vent blanking plate, and the top center vent which is available on 2021 cars? Perhaps some of you has tried upgrading the infotainment system and can chime in? I found one from a wrecked 2021 model, it comes with the code for activation, I would love to maintain the ability to use the steering wheel buttons

- What is the part number for the original fiat phone mount?

- Fog lights? Our Lounge model does not have them, but I can easily source the correct parts from a breaker, including the button to activate them inside the vehicle. Is there any CanBus sorcery involved here? What about the wiring?

- Lastly, in terms of MultiEcuScan, which version to get and what wiring bundle do I need in order to reset the Uniair module between oil changes and possible activate the fog light addition.


Looking forward to your replies!

Best Regards
Taras

This doesn't answer your specific question re radio but it may be of interest... https://www.fiatforum.com/threads/radio-code-new-panda.502023/

Thank you,
Had a look last night, it does provide some indication on compatibility, but I would like to have a little more "dirt" on the conversion

The car has been sitting since 2021, without being used... So th oil hasn't been changed for a few years, despite only having covered around 10k km.
Went ahead and purchased all the filters along with some good 0-30w AGIP Oil that meets the requirements.
Jacked up the little silver, put him on stands and did an oil change. It started to rain, so I will have to do the pollen + air filter and plugs later on.
Had a proper look under the vehicle, and I must say that despite the amount of salt they cover the roads with around here, it doesn't look that bad with the tray removed.

Also, I reckon the transmission oil is fine for now, with the car only having covered some 46k km.
