How To Update the software on your Blue and Me system Fiat Punto Evo, Grande, panda, 500 Abarth

This Video is out of date. To see the latest video on this subject click here • Updating Blue and Me 2...
It is worth doing this sooner rather than later, it seems Fiat is no longer supporting the Blue and Me system in favor of the newer Uconnect system and as a result there have not been any Blue and Me updates in a while and there have not been any updates to the website either, therefore it might just disappear one day, knowing how fiat supports things longer term.

Beautifully explained video. Thanks for uploading 👍🏻

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for the comment

[@danielgarciasalorio8646]

Posting just to show some love to your Punto EVO! I'm also owner of a 2011 Sport one externally almost exactly like yours, metallic blue with black optional rims, only difference is that I ordered it with the Skydome roof, and painted the small roof metal section remaining and the boot spoiler in black to keep all roofline in the same colour. I think I've seen less than 5 other Sport Evos like ours during this years with our same external configuration. I still totally in love today with its blue colour, when it's clean is gorgeous :_)

[@PuntoHowto]

You’re probably looks way better than mine. Mine has a lot of problems with the paint especially around the bonnet and front bumper

[@danielgarciasalorio8646]

@@PuntoHowto totally get it, actually mine it's in the paint shop at the moment to repaint the roof parts I mentioned as they were starting to peel off at some points. Also had problems with paint since I bought it, Fiat's paint seems to be made of butter and got a ton of small scratches and dents just with looking at it, seems that their coating is extremely thin. One of my friends have a Bravo with almost the same age and has the same problems with paint on his, seems to be a common issue with the brand.

hello , I have a fit grande punta evo 2010 and I'll try to do this update .thanx a lot mate!

[@chloegleeson1286]

Hello, I have a 2010 Fiat Punto Evo and I followed everything you said - I was able to update my Blue & Me system but it’s still not working. UPDATE: My Blue&Me system still didn’t work after the update. I had to buy an AUX lead, remove my radio and replace the Blue&Me wiring with my AUX adaptor. I had to download white noise onto a USB stick and plug it in the USB port. When the AUX lead is plugged into my phone, it works - you can find loads of videos on KZbin explaining this process! I hope this helps someone :)

[@PuntoHowto]

The blue and me system from Fiat is very temperamental and many people are finding as they get older the systems just stop working or a new phone won’t work with the set up, this seems to vary from one car to the other with no specific reasons. My car has a later “blue and me 2” system and is a top spec ex dealer demo car so it got everything including the usb and an aux input, however if you don’t have this I’m not sure it’s something you can add. It however does work for playing music from a phone or MP3 player.

[@mjrd78]

Thanks Chloe I think I may have to do the same thing.

[@evieemaya88]

great video, can confirm this works with a grande punto tjet 59 plate. but sadly doesnt seem to be able to use spotify / youtube,myphone maybe to new, but it does allow my phone to work via bliuetooth for calls and text

[@PuntoHowto]

May depend on your phone and the cars version of blue and me etc etc, also I have no idea If or how Spotify is supposed to work? Amazon music works on my 2011 with blue and me 2 so but if you have blue and me 1 then it might not work?

[@logancoutinho21]

I tried playing music on Spotify but the stereo doesn’t recognise it. This after updating blue&me to the latest version. Any idea why this happens? Also noticed that if the song is playing on the phone and if I pick up a call and cut it, the song plays on the car stereo for a second and then stops (it shows media player on the display too) . Can you please help me as this is driving me nuts.

[@ricoberveling3772]

Have some updating problems with my Fiat Punto Evo 1.3 2011. I followed all the steps (Car saw the files in Step one). But in Step two I get the message: “CONFIG.FOUT” (Config Error). I tried like 3 UBS (1GB, 4GB, 8GB) the 8GB my car can't see that and the 1GB (that I'm using for step 1, gets the same message). Also the same message on the 4GB version. Is there something else I can do? I hve the problem that when I push the Windows button (for connecting my mobile for the first time) my radio freezes and I have to detach the battery.

[@ellie-maenevilleshaw5584]

Hi I found this so helpful the first update worked perfectly and the second one I put it in and it said updating then update error ??? What does this mean

[@PuntoHowto]

There are lots of different reasons you might get an error, usually it gives you some sort of code (which to be honest doesn’t help) it may be you just need to try again. If however your car has not been updated for a long time, it may be so behind it can’t have the newest software added so you’d need to update it to a half way point

[@hamzahaidar9299]

[@kaerussell]

do you think i could exchange the (only) usb-port with an usb-aux-port? i made the update (v10) but i didn‘t get it to work with my phone... how do you start the media player?

[@PuntoHowto]

Press the media button to cycle though other sources of audio input, chances are if you have a very new phone it won’t work with the old blue and me. I can’t say if buying a cable/socket with the aux input would work

[@georgecharalambous6237]

cant download software because of some adobe flash error. Do you have any solution for that? thanks

[@jamiebrogan]

I tried going to the Blue&Me site to download the update but given that Flash is no longer supported I can't download the update. Do you have it stored anywhere on a USB drive you could upload or know of anywhere it is?

[@PuntoHowto]

Sadly it doesn’t work like that, there is a whole process of the website working out the blue and me system you have and the version of the software you have to get the right update, at the moment there are a few ways to get the website to work but they are very complicated, because of the complexity at the moment I’m not going to do a video about it because it can open you up to being hacked

[@Squirrel26king]

I bought a fiat punto 2017, and my dash does not have any of those usb/aux ports, any ideas what i can do as my fm transmitter does not want to turn on when i put it on the automobile auxiliary power outlet, any recommendations?

[@PuntoHowto]

later model puntos had a veery different set up to the blue and me in my punto you may be able to get a aux input off ebay, it might be worth a gamble for about £10

[@user-ub2jk6xx4x]

Hi can you sent me the link for the base of the phone to put it their and listen music???

[@jamiejones18]

Just treated myself to one of those phone holders, but it doesn't point high enough for me. Seems Fiat only thought of the 500's 68R port that is flat to the dash, and not on an angle like in the Punto's. Such a shame. Im looking at replacing the entire air vent unit for one with the large storage area instead of the 68R port as its just obsolete, even the TomTom 2 is out dated as an option and incredibly expensive to buy and renew maps when we have free apps like Waze. Hope your Punto is still keeping you happy!

[@PuntoHowto]

Keep an eye out online ebay and Facebook for sale pages. If the chance comes up to buy a cheap tomtom mount for the 68r port this has more adjustment than the phone holder, however what you can do is take both apart and put the tomtom parts onto the phone holder giving you much more adjustment. I did this and it cost me about £5 from a Facebook ad.

[@jamiejones18]

PuntoHowto that’s a great idea! I did actually have the tomtom 2 for a short while and it did have more adjustment you’re right. That’s for the great idea!

[@oskarpuchala2685]

[@95roshak95]

Hi, thanks for a great video, would you know where can i order the phone holder? Thanks!

[@PuntoHowto]

You can/could only get this phone holder from fiat and it was stupid expensive, I paid £50 for it from my fiat dealer about 4 years back, but now if they ever do appear for sale they’re nearer £70+ which is just too much. Also mine was a custom hybrid of the phone holder and the old Punto satnav holder

[@Sandrarrrrrr]

Hi, I just bought my 2013 Fiat Punto Easy. it has come to my attention that the blue and me feature doesnt seem to work at all, the windows button on the steering wheel and the phone button show no response either. no sign of blue and me working at all. On the update website im not sure what to put as my model of car as its not a punto evo nor is it a grande punto or abarth. i tried to extract the punto evo files onto a usb stick then into the car with no luck, same with the grande punto files. thanks in advance

[@PuntoHowto]

There are known problems with the blue and me system going wrong, as it’s not essential to the car people will simply remove the blue and me computer, this maybe your problem. You’ll need to make sure the computer is present, which is above the glove box, if present you’d need to remove it to see if it’s been disconnected

[@PuntoHowto]

For what ever reason the sound is not getting from the blue and me computer to the radio so I would be looking at the wires on the back of the radio? Do you have any problems with sound when making Bluetooth phone calls over blue and me ?

[@giovannimarro3246]

@@McAuley2442 I actually found a solution. Change date on your PC to a date in 2020 and as long as you already have flash installed, it will let you access the website. Otherwise you'll have to download flash from a third party which is what I did. Don't download the latest, instead download the version that is still operational

[@user-li3ck9kq4i]

I'm interested in finding the base for the cell phone you have in the video

[@PuntoHowto]

This is a genuine fiat part and can be obtained from your local fiat dealership, however since I got mine a couple of years ago the price has gone up massively especially during the Covid lockdown and here in the uk they are being sold at £70 by dealers !!!!! Which is insane. You may find it cheaper where you are but can’t say for sure. At the moment the people who usually sell them on eBay are shut down and not selling anything sadly

Sort of... you could get a cheap Bluetooth receiver and put that into the aux port, that way you could get in the car and the phone would hopefully just connect to the Bluetooth

[@RubenRC94]

I just bought a 2015 punto twinair. It doesn't have the whisows logo and nowhere blue and me is mentioned. But there is a option for the ecodrive mode in the menus. And can use my phone and steam music so I'm guessing it's there.. I tried to run the update because sometimes my radio and the steering wheel controle is terribly slow. Literally responds seconds after the input. When I plug in the USB the only message that shows up is no music. Any ideah of this radio is too "new" to update?

[@PuntoHowto]

I’m not sure your 2015 Punto has anything like the same thing as blue and me. Newer cars don’t have blue and me and your Punto sits in a bit of a grey area between blue and me and the newer Uconnect system, I’m not really sure what to suggest.

[@RubenRC94]

I was afraid this is the case. Maybe I could contact fiat not doing off other forums that won't work either. I probaby live with with the slow radio for a while (wich if it works has all the functions) and then get a new one with navigation. Thanks anyway, the punto is a great car

Maybe worth a message to Fiat uk, via email or on Facebook, as it seems most of the dealerships are closed.

[@iam.damian]

@RubenRC94 how did you get the music to work? I just bought 2015 punto twinair. Since it is 2024, it is a 9 years old car now, so the driving characteristics and a low budget were the most important things, Bluetooth was an afterthought.

Hello! Thank you for the video. I have a Fiat 500 from 2007 with the Blue and Me system. I bought it recently (it’s a second hand car). I guess the previous owner never updated the system, therefore the USB plug doesn’t detect my iPhone X. Also, when I want to try to use Bluetooth and connect my phone it’s asking me for a code I can’t seem to find anywhere. Would doing the exact same thing from the video work for my car? Is a 2007 car too old for that? Also I have a MacBook and an iPhone, and I’m ensure the website will work on my MacBook 😅😅 If anyone can send any requests, it would be great!

[@PuntoHowto]

When connecting Bluetooth you should see a code come up on the dash in the middle of the speedo, put this code into your phone for pairing. You can try updating the Bluetooth, you will still need a windows fat32 formatted usb drive. But I think you can use the website from a Mac, the thing is fiat blue and me is a windows designed system so works best with other Microsoft products.

[@nocifgaming]

Thank you for your answer. I was able to do the update with an USB key. Therefore, since the update was done, my car detects my iPhone by Bluetooth but still doesn’t detect it in the USB sector for it to charge... Also I am still unable to listen to my phone music on the car stereo even when connected with Bluetooth. I don’t really understand why. Also when doing the update, the latest version I could get was 5.6... Which is far from being the most recent one. I don’t understand why I can’t do more. 😭 I really would like to be able to plug my phone in the USB sector for it to charge and also to be able to listen to my own music without buying an extra adapter. I really don’t know what to do..😅

99 times out of 100 it’s because of the battery, the only fix is usually a new battery which is usually fine for use in any other car, it’s just the fiat stop start system is overly sensitive to the battery condition

The car has a microphone in the interior light, when paired the microphone in the car is what picks up you speaking. If this microphone is broken then the person you’re calling simply won’t hear you

Does it have the blue and me 2 system or the older and original blue and me? Realistically if you can’t get it working it may be far more cost effective to completely replace the radio

[@stephenprice7502]

I tried this, but i couldn't even get past the first stage where it reads the initial process from the usb key. Key was formatted as FAT32 and I can confirm the data was readable on the usb key after unzipping. I know the usb port in the car works as it already alllows music playback from iphone via a cable plugged into the car.

[@PuntoHowto]

What sizes usb stick did you use, obviously the cars are getting older and were never designed to read huge capacity usb drives so I advise trying with the smallest drive you can get away with 1 -2 gb is best if you have one

[@PuntoHowto]

Bear in mind even in 2012 the blue and me system was well behind the times, designed for windows phones from the early 2000s that never proved to be popular, your 2019 android phone is and never was designed to be compatible, iPhones have been around since 2007 and there is a lot of old compatibility that passes over from one generation to the next so it’s likely the fault of the phone not the car, also I’d avoid android and HUAWEI myself at all costs

Sadly if this happens it’s an indication that the blue and me computer has failed, you would either need to get it repaired, replace it with another computer or have it removed from the other electronics in the car to stop the flashing.
