Re: Abarth Dashboard Colour Screen?!?

Hi, Am I missing something here. I have a 53 plate Abarth with the white dials. At night they go black, no signs of colour. Is there something I can do to make them colour or are they monoatone?

Thanks
Steve

Re: Abarth Dashboard Colour Screen?!?

It refers to the actual display that displays such information as "Door Open". Older abarths had a colour screen like (DTSN), newer models have a standard orange-backlit dot-matrix display.

Somebody is useful Abarth Color TFT dasboard in an JTD modell ?

I have 2005 1.9 JTD, and i like color TFT on dashboard (CN+ is installed on my Stilo)

Or did they make JTD with color TFT display?

No, the speedo's are the same for 3- and 5 doors, after a Proxy Alignment procedure they adapt to the settings of your car.

Proxy alignment procedue?

else youll get lots of error messages, because the old cluster will "know" what was in the old car and what is in your car might not match. you can do proxy with FES. but youll need to visit dealer to get milage calibrated.

Nice one, I'll visit them on the w/e and let them rip me off

Proxy alignment procedue?

A Proxy Alignment copies the configuration of your car which is stored in the body computer to nodes which have a different configuration (i.e. instrument cluster or climate control node from scrappy...)
After this procedure these parts will have the same configuration/features like the original ones.

ahh, always wondered what it ACTUALLY did...so is this how someone would add cruise control to the car and have it light up on the dash?? or is it a different procedure?

Normal cruise control is not a NODE so doesn't need proxy alignment, however, there is a function in FES just to enable the cruise control light on the dash.

Adaptive (Radar controlled) cruise control is a NODE (NAC).

 

[mzhussein]

i know its a little off topic, but what would be required and is it prohibitive, to fit radar guided CC as opposed to normal CC?

 

[Davren]

I don't think it was ever put into production. I've never seen it or heard of anyone with it.

It's shown in the eLEARN manual but not in ePER so no idea where you'd get the parts for it.

So FES can set it up to bring the light on the dash when I turn it on with the after market fitted CC stalk

Nope, its also in cars handbook, but like you say I don't think it was ever put into production.

Also, exactly what is a NODE? Whats its deffinition so to speak?

I've not used it, my car had CC as standard but I read on Yani's forum that it's possible with FES. I think Yani used it on his own Stilo.

Also, exactly what is a NODE? Whats its deffinition so to speak?

NODEs are the different ECUs connected to the CAN system.

tis a shame would have liked to try and fit radar guided cruise....oh so cool lol.

thanks for the info. just need to hunt me a cluster....

 

[Davren]

I suspect it would have been an incredibly expensive option just to apply the brake if you got (what it decided was) too close to the car in front.

 

[mzhussein]

maybe they thought:
"actually, we shouldnt be doing this, we are fiat, if we get it wrong and the car vilently stops mid motorway....were in for it, quickly, take it out"

saying that, id still try and retro-fit it if it were possible...
