Flashing mileage
Hi and welcome 
Flashing mileage indicates a communication error on the CAN Bus system
Probably the car's computer is looking for the radio but not finding it
Proxi alignment should sort it
If you fancy doing it yourself, MultiECUScan is very useful software to have

Theres 3 or 4 members with mes showing on the map try contacting the one nearest to yourself!
How do I find them
On the home screen click on "forums" on the black task bar scroll down to MES members then click into there and the map will come up -click on individual members for details!.
Found one in my area but he’s not replying to my message

Give it time. They may not be regular visitors to the forum especially at this bust time of year.
Yes very true
Maybe time to try the next nearest person -even if you have to travel a bit further!
I have tried no one coming back to me
Thats a shame!- might be wrong time of year i guess and they are spread fairly thin in wales!.
As previously suggested the cost of the program software and a set of leads is not to great -It might be worth the investment and then of course you are set for any future diagnostics you might need!.
Yes might do that
Just need some advice how to use the software
Before buying the program - you can download a simulated version which "mimics" testing and adjustment, this allows you plenty of time to "practice" and locate things in the sub -menus before working on your car!
Do you have the problem
I dont understand what you mean?
What I mean do you have the Multiecuscan program
Search on utube. I came across an excellent detailed walk through on utube a few yrs ago. Unfortunately at the time I didn’t have a Microsoft PC to run the mutltiscan s/w. At the time I had problems with the blue & me module which had water ingress. A common problem with fiat 500’s as the module is located in the rear quarter. Rather than replace the module I had it removed. The mileage has flashed ever since! My garage failed to perform a proxy alignment to stop this! The video explained why inexperienced users would fail to rectify using the multi scan sw.
Without fully understanding your specific problem the on board central computer needs to know what you have done with the radio.
In my case the flashing mileage was indicating a fault with the blue and me module. Although now removed, the OBC needs to know this. This is what the proxy alignment does. (Im not an expert), but hope this helps.
