Fiat Linea Blue&Me Fail

The latest bug to develop on my car is the failure of the Microsoft’s Blue&Me system.

The audio controls have stopped working for the USB based media.

The calling buttons and the famous Windows icon button also have stopped responding.

One solution I found online is to reboot the Windows Mobile system that powers this whole ‘technology’.

Would have to find someone who can disconnect the battery and reconnect it after a while.

If that fails, I would have to take it to the Fiat service center hoping they would find a solution for me. The solutions I read online is a replacement of the device which requires to be imported from Italy. Which means a waiting time of a month. Let’s hope it is covered under warranty. My car would be one year old in a month’s time so I would have to hurry!

Update: The reboot method seems to have worked. Windows Mobile probably rebooted and it is all well now. For the time being! Yey! Microsoft WTH.

You're lucky just a restart fixed it. It's a relatively new product by Microsoft without much use.

as with most software based solutions, a restart usually fixes a lot of things.

the technology is not new. it is not rocket science. it is just a windows mobile powered entertainment system that is sold as blue&me by fiat and microsoft.

tata uses the same technology but bundle it with a different branding.
