Good morning,

As many of you have already experienced, it can happen from time to time on FCA cars that the odometer in the instrument cluster starts flashing and the Bluetooth stops working.

This type of fault is caused by the loss of memory of the Bluetooth control unit (also known as Convergence) or in some cases its internal damage, and as the most obvious consequence to the customer, the odometer starts flashing.

Often the origin of the fault can be traced back to a battery disconnection/reattachment.

In fact, when this anomaly occurs, the advice we give, before changing such a control unit, is to try to perform the proxi alignment with your instrument and see how effective it is. Sometimes this operation alone is enough to solve the problem. If, on the other hand, this does not resolve the problem, it will be necessary to replace the damaged Bluetooth control unit and then re-perform the proxi alignment.

The control unit can be found in various locations depending on the model, we list the location on the most popular models:

• behind the passenger-side glove compartment (see file Fiat Punto 1.2 - BLUETOOTH ELECTRONIC BOX - S.R);
• under the passenger seat (see file Fiat Panda 1.2 - BLUETOOTH ELECTRONIC BOX - S.R.);
• behind car radio/navigator (see file Alfa Romeo Mito 1.3 Mjet - BLUETOOTH ELECTRONIC BOX - S.R.);
• behind passenger-side moulding (see file Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6 Mjet - BLUETOOTH ELECTRONIC BOX - S.R.).
