    Fed up now of the stop start attitude of my reversing sensors :disappointed:. When I have some spare cash I'll fit a tidy set up that will give me quality reversing plus sat nav etc. For now (X-Mas is coming:party:) I was thinking about a cheap(ish) wireless reversing set up. Has anybody tried...

    Hi All, I have found the Uconnect 6.5 system not that good so I purchased an Alpine iLX-702D head unit plus a Kit-7AR-940 to fit in my Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2017 reg last week from the CarAudioCentre. Since installing the head unit , when I reverse the car and then go into another gear or...
  3. The Classic Alfa Romeos
    These are not working on mine. With the ignition on and the car in reverse there is either no lights or a faint flicker of both lights. Given that there is a flicker I am guessing that it is not the switch. Any thoughts on what to do next.

    I know a number of solutions for retrofitting have popped up for various things such as paddles, Auto cruise control etc. Haven't seen anything on reversing camera. I didn't get it fitted, but after numerous scraped alloys thinking it might be a good idea. Has anyone done this / or is it...

    Hi, have tried the search function but as usual it gave no results, I am a bit lost in the headunit world but would like an upgrade from my standard stereo headunit installed in my Brera. I would like a unit with sat Nov, reversing camera, cd, radio and probably MP3. Has any 159, Brera drivers...

    Hi All, I have noticed my 147 2005 1.9 jtd is really heavy to turn when reversing, guessing its a power steering problem, any advice or guidance would be most welcome? TIA Andy

    Hi everyone, I have been reading a few things on here about some people experiencing similar things. My beloved QV has started making a horrible whine when reversing onto the drive, its really loud! Sounds like Chewbacca in pain, probably the best way to describe the sound. My drive does have a...
  9. Alfa Giulietta
    I'm finding it tricky to gauge the position of a wall / car when reversing using rear view mirrors etc. Maybe it's an age thing or I'm just getting lazy. Just wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket system that fits in well and without much hassle. Even one of the basic beeping types...

    My 06 Lusso doesn't appear to have a reversing light.... shock horror! It was cheap and someone has had the rear bumper painted so some doctoring must have taken place I reckon, UNLESS someone knows different? Surely it wasn't an option? I had a bump and so am replacing the rear bumper with...

    As the post suggests, has anyone figured out how you can make the factory fitted reversing camera also act as a recording dashcam when driving? Must be possible, but how easy would it be?

    I'm going to fit a Garmin reversing camera to my 2010 159 but for the life of me I cannot find a wiring diagram which shows the colour of the live reversing lamp wire which I need to tap into. Can anyone help please?
  14. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Quick question guys, I know reversing sensors have been covered ad nauseum [emoji6] The question is I have the intermittent issue over the last week or so. One journey they work then they don't sometimes the error light comes and then during the journey goes off. If I put the code reader on to...
  15. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi can anybody tell me if and where the switch for the reversing is located. I have an intermittent rear wiper and the same with the reversing sensors, Sometimes if you take it out of reverse and put it back in a couple of times it seems to be fine other times it just works and sometimes...

    Happy New Year to you all from a New member. I have a Mito Veloce 1.4 Multi Air and she has just started to make a whining noise when I reverse and decelerate. A colleague suggested it may be the transmission fluid/oil. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Also information regarding topping...

    Hi Guys, I have just posted in the newbie section a small hello. I have a problem and reading some of the threads I think it's an issue with the looms in the boot, but would like some other advice if possible. I have a 2013 Giulietta (only had it 10 days) I put her into reverse and the lights...

    Hey all, I have had issues with my reversing light. bulb is fine, wiring tested from the bulb to the battery and seems the issue rests with the switch located in the gearbox housing. Before ordering the part i just want to confirm that there maybe isn't anything else i may have missed that...

    Anyone replaced one of these that could advise where it is ! Not in boot , maybe in bumper ?
  20. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hi, I have a facelift 156 and the fuse for the reversing lights and radio(on/off with ignition) keeps blowing. I replaced the fuse and with the radio off, put the car in reverse. As soon as the gear lever hit the reverse position I watched the 10amp fuse blow. Any idea what might be causing this?
