    I've heard of one person in a forum removing it and cleaning the PCB module (shown at 3:50) with compressed air and fixing it back inside (fiat punto), worked with most people who've tried it. I'm facing the same issue but LCD is completely dead now. Will try the cleaning method.

    Hi - great video. Will the same procedure work for an Alfa 159/Brera/Spider? I've got a flashing odometer after an aftermarket head unit was fitted and the B&m unit removed and discarded (not sure if the battery was disconnected prior to B&m removal). All done prior to my ownership of the car (Brera). Thanks.

      @@gavintownsend702 I’m not completely sure, but I think the proxy-alignment will solve the blinking odometer issue. Older cars do not respond on the can-bus fault code you create by disconnecting a module without disconnecting the battery. The fault is there, but doesn ‘t lead to a blinking odometer.

      That's right, the second part is to stop the blinking of the odometer. Taking the plug out of the Blue&Me unit will stop the draining of the battery.
      I'm not sure the fuse is only for the Blue&Me unit, if that's the case you could just remove the fuse.

      I have tried myself but I didnt succeed. If I remember correctly the fault code with "CAN B" in the name, which appears if you unplug a CAN-module without disconnecting the battery, made the odometer also blink. However some cars, like older Fiats, doesn't have a blinking odometer with this fault code.

    Hello, I bought my Giulietta Qv and the odo was blinking. I was wondering if the reason is the blue and me module because I was not able to connect to it with my phone or usb. Removed the battery and started working on it. Found out that my blue and me module was not connected so I fixed that and reconnected the battery. The odo was not blinking but still not able to connect my phone or do anything with the windows/menu buttons. I am still not able to use my Usb port. Do you have an idea for that? Maybe I should run proxy alignment and try to set the buttons to the 8button type if they are changed at some point to 6?

      Hi Gabriel, looks like your Blue&Me unit is broken. There's only one reason for the previous owner to disconnect the Blue&Me unit and that is a drained battery:(
      I would recommend to check the drain current when the car is switched off for a while.
      You could get a replacement Blue&Me unit or fix the flashing odometer by following the video. Good luck!

    Hi Tony, Thanks for the video :) - I have the same problem I have pulled out the Blue and Me module and I am deciding on whether to live with the flashing odo or purchase the Multiescan software and cables however a little nervous to do this . I have asked some Alfa mechanics if they can reset but none are willing - very strange why they cant do this - looking to purchase cables and software do you by any chance know of any suppliers in Australia? - I have checked and can only see the Uk supplier. Thanks

    • @fix-it-again-tony
      @fix-it-again-tony  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Sue, as a matter of fact this video started as my father's Alfa mechanic didn't want to fix it! I think the problem is the mechanic can't explain why it takes some hours just to stop the odometer flashing. When you are lucky it is a quick fix, but when the car doesn't want to cooperate it can be time consuming. For instance if the radio is replaced by a normal head unit and the old radio is not there anymore, and the replacement was done without disconnecting the battery, it's impossible to stop the odometer flashing, apart from 'emulator boxes'.
      The good news is you can by the OBD-kit step by step. First you can buy an interface module of the following type: ELM 327 v1.3+/OBDLink/OBDKey in Australia (ebay perhaps?). On the HELP-page of MultiEcuScan.net you can find more information on the interface modules. Furthermore you should have the A3 adapter cable. I made it myself from ordered parts, just follow the guide on the VEHICLE-page. Then you can download the free software version of MultiEcuScan. With a limited amount spent you can try if it works. You should be able to retreive CAN-BUS info from the car. Now you can buy the licensed software online from the website and you can start the procedure as in the video.
      I must state that you might not be able to stop the blinking if there are more faultcodes (like from the radio) or something else is not cooperating:(. However luck favours the brave so just go for it!

      It basically comes down to disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the blue and me unit, connecting the battery again and performing a proxy-alignment of the CAN bus. The odometer blinks when a CAN module is not working or a CAN module is removed without disconnecting the battery, but it also blinks when a CAN module is missing. By performing a proxy-alignment you alter the list of CAN modules in your car. In your case you should perform the proxy-alignment to stop the odometer from blinking.
