Great video. I have flashing mileage and a battery drain as well as the blue and me not working. Can I just unplug the unit rather than replace? I’m swapping out the head unit but want the mileage to stop flashing and steering wheel buttons to work. Cheers
The flashing mileage is the cars way of saying something is not programmed correctly. If you removed / disabled the B&M it would stop your drain but continue to flash. Fitting a aftermarket radio would also cause the flash as the car will not recognise the foreign part .
@@thorobredcars1975I do not care for flashing odo, I just my car to not die after 12 hours of sitting:( where is the blue and me unit in a north America abarth ? Do you have a clue ?
If you're doing an older 500 the first thing to do is clean the rear seat belt lower mounting bolt which comes out through the wheel arch. Wire brush and wd40. If you remove the bolt without doing this it will shear. Very very important to do this.
Those seat belt anchor bolts have a tendency to snap unless you wire brush and lashings of WD40 on the end of the bolt in the wheel arch. You don't need to take the rear seat backs out either.
Thanks for your helpful video. I have a Fiat 500. BLUE&ME causes the battery to drain. Is it possible to disconnect the BLUE&ME from the power supply, or do I have to disassemble the panel and disconnect the connector from the unit? Thanks.
What a estupidez pluce to plaxe a Blue me .. i have thesame problema with my fiat punto my life 2011 i have no ideia were the unit in placed here in Portugal it cost about 1000€ completly rediculess .. saying that excelente vídeo with you well
Flashing Odometer means something is not programmed. Look for anomalies, Aftermarket radio ? Fiats do not like non genuine parts fitted. Ask for a Proxy Alignment to be carried out.
Great video. What a pain in the arse device to get out. Would have broken something through frustration and rage if it wasn't for this.

None of them need to be coded. The sticker means you shouldn't need to do a proxy alignment if put into the same car it came out of.
Great video. Where did you send unit? I like the fact that no coding required.
Great bud, fixed my draining battery. Any ideas of the cigarette charging point will still work?

Thankfully it's behind the glove box in the US model. Thank God it's not in the Rear quarter panel!!!

We had a similar issue with a AlfaRomeo Giulietta .
In theory you could just pull the fuse , but we opted to unplugged the unit physically.
Great video mate, got this job coming up. Can diagzone diagnostics do the proxy align? My diagnostics look very similar to yours
Wheres the fuses, for blue me

I’ve sent mine for repair can I still drive the van without?
Yes , although the mileage will flash which will be annoying , It’s a warning that a control unit is not correctly programmed.
Where to buy you me unit?
Is the blue&me located on the same side if the driver seat is on the left side?
I’d imagine it would still be on the same side as this video, but honestly I would only be guessing 🤷🏻♂️
I just found out that for left seat drive the module isn't on the left....😂
And also not on the right. I don't know what is going on with my car. Keep you posted!
@@MrRubyyyy Hi, same issue here, did you manage to find a way through ? Thanks.
@@annarion994 yes I found out that it is under the glove box, found a different video showing it
