Alfa Romeo Forum - View Single Post - Blue&Me audio takes a while to kick in/goes dead

OK. One visit to the dealer turned into two this week...

At first they replaced the Blue&Me control unit (I think that was the term). This fixed the problem until I was five minutes up the road from the dealer, when the sound cut out! So, on the second visit to the dealer, they decided the radio unit was also at fault and replaced the head unit to that as well. So far, all is good... but will report back if problems occur again.

The interesting thing here was that the service guys said they had found fault with the original part they replaced - so I was clearly suffering from two different problems conspiring to result in the same issue.

Also - the dealer did say that Blue&Me still isn't 'right' as a product -- and they find themselves replacing at least three or four units a week at the moment!
