Hi everyone I believe I'm seeing better levels of USB audio integration from Apple phones (over Androids) with the first generation Infotainment system on my 2017 Giulia. If so then it "steers" me towards choosing Apple's over Android's.... Is this what others see too? If you have tried this...

I'm an owner of a 2007 Brera, with Blue&Me (without nav). Recently I started looking into a way to play music from Spotify, since using mp3s was getting inconvenient. I uploaded my BMConf.xml file to the blue&me flash website...

Zane's 5th Gen Prelude! (NSW, Central Coast)

Hi all, i know detailing has been covered in great detail in some threads on here, but i am time limited on this and the detailer i was going to go with hasn't got back to me recently. The dealer has offered me a Gen 3 ceramic detail for £299, has anyone had this done or could guide me either...

Hi, I have been keeping an eye on my DPF and fuel consumption, I have MultiscanECU and have noticed the average distance between re gens is around 350km today it was 140km. If a regen failed to complete would the ECU count again when it restarts? Im pretty sure it didn't complete early this...

After defogging my headlights It seems they are botched (mostly due to the ****ty xenon conversion) beyond repair. Its usable, but not good enough. The electric height adjustment is also dead, so I'm thinking of ditching both of them and the xenon conversion, and putting new ones on september...

Long story short, after spending hours recon-ing my 2.0ts cylinder head and getting it going, I was about to take it for a MOT when the backbox falls off and I also notice the centre box is shot to. And this got me thinking, it sounds pretty good without a backbox! a little loud but not over...

Hi guys My GQV didn't come with the pop up sat nav and I was wondering if any has or knows if it's possible to swap out the standard Blue and Me radio for the touchscreen found in the newer G's? Surely it's just a case of swapping out the dash trim? Any thoughts? :smile: Ross

I have a 2007 159 200 with (I believe) a Blue and Me first generation unit fitted. It previously had B&M software V5.4 and no English language pack. I down loaded the language pack and successfully installed that. I then went through software upgrades V5.5 and V5.6 both successful and tested...

Hi folks, Picked up my first Alfa, a Giulietta Cloverleaf in white on Monday. Of course, so far I love it, that much goes without saying. Unfortunately, I have the about 6 months of the car when it seems to have been manufactured with the 1st generation of Blue & Me device (updated to 5.6)...

Hi, Picked up our second Alfa at the weekend, a 2011 159 Ti joining our much loved GTV. Despite being nearly 2 years old the alloys were immaculate - until this morning that is :( They were bound to get kerbed sooner or later but so soon! :cry: I've seen the alloys described as 'Dark...

Hi, I recently bought a new HTC One and am having trouble with Bluetooth connectivity. The devices will see each other during paring, I enter the code (generated by Blue&Me) into the HTC and all seems to go through well. The phone will report "connected" then pause 10-20 seconds before...

Hi, Has anyone managed to try an iphone 5 in a 1st generation blue and me (with firmware 5.5, 5.6) yet? I'd really love to get an iphone today but dont want to get one and find the new iphone doesnt work with the blue and me media player. Thanks steve

I am about to do a 12k service which I will do myself on a 146 Mjet. Just wanted to ask opinions on parts whether I should use genuine and specific Selenia oil - having owned Audi's & VWs in the past I have always used good quality like for like but I don't want to aggrevate potential engine...

If anybody in AO land has a 1st gen iPod Nano bought between September '05 and December '06 then Apple advises you not to use it. There's a small risk of the battery overheating and the device catching fire. Apple are doing a recall and it sounds like they will be replacing it. Linky Apple -...

There's always NO ONE in YOUR area that's willing to work on them, I'll pay people money, that's not the issue, the issue is people don't want to work on the car or they don't know what they are doing. I drove the car last night, after buying a freakin R707 batery:rant:. I had a smile on my...

Evening all, I apologise if this has been covered before - I have tried searching through past threads and have come up a bit confused! :confused: I have an '07 Brera with B&M 5.5 installed. The media player works fine with a USB stick (mp3s) but I would like to connect my 2nd Gen iPod Nano...
