Technical Fiat Bravo stereo - secret menu?

[PeterMmX]

Hi guys,

Just wondering how many people realised that there is a few hidden menu options - not that they do anything nice but...they are there ;-)

First one - hold button 1 and 6 (memory buttons) pressed together - should come up on the screen as PIONEER-S105 VE00701 (That's showing on mine, what's on yours?)

Second - Hold button 2 and 6 - some tests will come up with the results - use right arrow (beside volume knob) to switch between them.

Third one - Hold button 3 and 6 - SPEAKERS TEST! Yeah, don't jump out of a car ;-) Starts from front left bottom speaker, when you use right arrow it will switch to the next ones - it's generating some certain frequency noise to test the speakers - love subwoofer one, especially at midnight in quiet estate - i woke my neighbours last night when i was messing around with my radio ;-)

Fourth - Hold button 4 and 6 - display test, whole stereo display will light up.

Anybody has figured out any other options??

If that's not a guaranteed way to set my headunit off on another crazy moment I don't know what is

thanks for the tips Peter

 

[ausritmo]

anyone knows that this is all about???

 

[Tad-bravo]

going out to test that right now !

after testing : I have no idea what that menu's good for other than moving various motors related to the AC...

 

[ausritmo]

maybe it's for factory testing purposes. Nothing relevant to us..?

 

[PeterMmX]

That's great - another new, hidden "thing" in our cars
Wondering now who's gonna get more info about it?

 

[Tad-bravo]

after seeing the video again, I understand that when in the 37 value, the right number indicate the RPM of the engine ! cool !

Did anyone notice that it's EXACTLY the same as in STILO ???? Both Radio thing and Aircon thing are known to Stilo owners for the past few years... :-/ I just found that there is some info on the net about both "secret" (or service as it should be called) things...

But what do they do and what do they tell you?

what info did you find?

Search THIS forum in Stilo section about Radio codes and aircon service menu - that's how i found details about it. I'll post some info tmw when i come back from work. I found out that basically aircon service menu can tell you car speed, fan speed, engine revs, temperature from various sensors, voltage etc etc. I got a bit upset when I found out info about our Bravo stereo and aircon service menu was well known to Stilo users since 2005-2006!!! Yes, it's the same thing in our Bravo as in Stilo...
Some french stilo club forum has some info based on spanish forum - http://www.microsofttranslator.com/...start=30&sid=7ebad935182fd4893748f73973feb31f

I have found a few things in a menu but you probably all know about them

When you press and hold the MODE button on the right, you can set a speed beep amongst other things to go off as a speeding warning - that surprised the wife on her way to work the other morning.

The Thing was It was set at 85mph naughty girl

I have mine set at 75mph. When my wife drove it she complained it kept on beeping at her. VERY naughty girl!!!!!!

That's because the Bravo is based on the Stilo. The climate control is just re-designed to appear different(as to fit into the Bravo design). Both cars are based on the Fiat C-Platform so things that work for the Stilo will work on the Bravo(i.e the climate secret menu). However the list that's floating around(based on the spanish/french list) is not the correct one for us(this might be because the ECU has been updated for the Bravo), I haven't been able to locate the correct one and if anybody has it please post it here

I'm still trying to work out what it actually allows you to do?

It's an diagnostic menu. It allows you to see different sensors output(which normally would require you to drive to the dealers to get it hooked up to a computer)

 

[DickBarton]

Ah right ok...sorry that is what I was thinking but thought (for some reason) you could also change the settings - which is what I wasn't totally understanding. If it just provides read outs then that makes a lot more sense.

 

[ritmaias]

I just tested it.
When I changed options I listenet to small klick sounds from the left (my car is left steering) of the dashboard.
The brake pedal hardened so like when the enjine is not running. I suppose you can modify settings in your car through that menu.
How can we find that out?

Just tried this

What is the sequence to read the sensor outputs?
