Introduction

Step 1

              Prepare firmware
  • Download Version Firmware (VP2 CO version)
  • Extract the zip file and copy it to the USB stick. A USB2 stick is advised with a capacity of at least 2GB and no more than 16GB.
  • If you get a not compatible error during this process upgrade to 12.00.24.01 followed by 13.00.57.05 before finally upgrading to 13.00.74.00. this will ensure you have a upgrade path.
  • If you are on a 13 .xx.xx.xx version already, above should not be required. Any verion older than 12.xx.xx.x uplifting to 12.00.24.1 should get you there
  • You can can download the firmware from the fiat forum.Click here to download firmware

Hallo ich brauche eure Hilfe. Neuen Radio MIT Navi zugekauft für 500L - der Original Radio war OHNE Navi! Leider hängt sich das Navi beim Starten immer nach kurzer Zeit auf!! Kann der neue Nav-Radio dem Steuergerät „angelernt“ werden? Danke für jede Hilfe! In zwei Fiat Werkstätten war ich schon, leider ohne Erfolg.

Angeblich kann in einen Fiat (in meinem Fall 500L 2013) serienmäßig OHNE Radio mit NAV ausgerüstet, KEIN Radio MIT NAV eingebaut werden!? Kann da jemand helfen? Vielen Dank Manfredo
