Fiat Uconnect radio “code error”

[Riverbankannie]

Have you ever had the radio software updated by Fiat? Loss of DAB is a recognised fault on units with pre 2017 software, fixed by later updates.

Thanks, going in to a Fiat dealer tomorrow for service and MOT so will ask.

Deneb Thanks for information. Requested software update to radio which was done free of charge and now the DAB works again as if by magic. Wouldn’t have thought of a software issue, imagined something had come disconnected.

Hi we do not have the radio/cd code for our camper van - any ideas how I can locate what it might be?

You'd have to ask a Fiat dealer, but if it is the uConnect unit, even though it may sometimes show a code error on screen, it often happens because it has been turned on whilst the ignition is off and the body computer is in low power mode. Turn on the ignition and it should work again, although it can take up to 15 minutes.

My Peugeot does this sometimes, but not always. When it does, you can always get the radio on by opening and closing a front door. Bizarre but true! Clearly opening the door performs some sort of reset. Worth a try!

Great! That just worked for me with same problem. Thanks!

We have a 2012 van where the radio turned off after 20 mins. I managed to change this to 180 mins by doing the following.
Turn radio on using central button. Within 15 seconds simultaneously press FM AS and preset button 2.
Each time this pair of buttons is pressed, the display will alternate between Normal power mode and Camper power mode.
Ensure Camper power mode is displayed then press Menu.
Using the up and down button now changes the display to show various adjustable items. Cycle through the options until Radio Off and a number of minutes is shown on the display. This will take approximately 2 presses of the up button or 7 of the down button.
With Radio off shown on the display press the left or right button. Each press will alter the number of minutes 180 and 0.
With 180 showing, the setting is complete and 3 hours of radio operation can be enjoyed.
Press the power button to exit the menu and return the display to normal.
Hope this works for you, it did for us.
