Uconnect7 blackout

Post by carbox »

Hello,
FIAT500's 7-inch Uconnect sometimes blacks out.
Do you have any update information?
Kind regards

Some systems have been know to overheat and lockup etc.

You could have an overheat issue.

You could try removing the out bezel and sliding the unit out a little to give it more air.

Does it still blackout / lockup?

Hello
I found the following information from the manufacturer's website.
There seems to be a USB update for the car radio SW to version 23.00.81.04 or later.
The update includes a black screen.
Do you have updated software?
Kind regards

I suspect a Dealer Only or and independent garage that has access to Fiat service systems can get and do the update.
