Alfa 159 hissy fit

[Gav alpha1]

Hi guys,
I recently bought an 159...love the looks but already got some niggles :/
The following messages or words to effect come up...
Hill stop thing not available
Vehicle protection not available
Can anyone help with this?
Also does the iPhone work with blue&me?

Also, can I get an adapter to fit 4stud alloys to the car?

Thanks for reading

Not sure about the alloys and iphone (although i think you can get an iphone adapter) but the hill holder and vehicle protection could be dodgy fuses which need to be replaced.

Not without an adaptor. Take a look in the ICE section for help on this area

the messages?
If you got them at start up it may be worth looking at your battery, get the voltage checked or wack at bit of charge in.
the car may have been sat for sometime before the sale to you.

I bought a B&M iPhone adapter but it was never right. Still got it in the box in my spare room as I replaced the head unit for a real one that was designed to work with iPods/Phones.

You can get the software update from the dealer, plug in the adaptor and away you go. I have an ipod permenantly in the glove box and no problems to date.

I have had some problems with my Brera, and having read about, what you could experience is a poor battery (because you got electrical warning messages). It's easy enough to get the battery checked and you'll know.

What year is the car? Does the battery look original?
