How to install a TFT Speedometer on a Fiat Abarth 

Thanks Colin

You are welcome.

Thanks

Yes you right lol

Dyslexics are teople poo

Phil's Salvage Rebuilds I’m concerned. Shouldn’t you be looking at the road the most? 🤣

@@Oscar-gj6dt ha, you know what I mean 😁

My pleasure 😊

it's not an option on this clock

Unfortunately, the three things that you mentioned above are a side effect of doing this mod, since the elements that control these functions are set in the equivalent radio that comes with the TFT screen.

Thanks

Did you ever manage to figure this out? Thinking of doing this

Same for me

@@dzry you can find the alfaobd program and it has the ability to write the correct settings for the turbo booster to the proxy. You cannot set the time, date and daytime running lights yourself in this speedometer. these speedometers work only with Uconnect radio and the installation of these functions has been transferred to the radio. Also there are no settings for Blue & me in this speedometer. If you watch this video carefully, you will see that it does not have the original little radio in the car and thus it has Blue & me removed. Also in this video, he did not set the date and time, because there is no such function in the speedometer. These speedometers work with a turbo booster, so you need to record this in a proxy I have bought an after-market kenwood radio but I have been waiting for 4 months behind a BLUE-UN11 CAN-BUS steering wheel interface with Blue&Me recovery for a kenwood Radio so plug and play normally everything should work with the tft screen from the start of the renovation I was able to do and everything works I will report it here

Yes you can

Yes you can

I got the registered version from gendan

yes, it needs adjusting on the wing so it sits tighter to the bumper, to be done in a future episode.

Yes I did notice

Am not sure , but am sure someone in the fiat forum would know

Not without looking

Hi Jordan, mileage has now been sorted, you'll see it in Mondays video.

Yes you can

speedo milage can only increase, there is a warning about that in the multi ecu scan. probably there still is a hacky way to bypass it

Yes it will

@@CarsForPaul thanks man and great content. Btw keep an eye on the front lower suspension arms the rear Bush is weak as hell I'm upgrading mine to pu bushes as I am on my second set of arms in three months due to them failing.

You only need to proxi align if you want to correct the mileage also try and get the radio or get the same model radio from eBay or you wont be able to adjust the clock. Other than that it is plug and play.

I got the miliage sorted by contacting multiscan support who sent me the correct hexadecimal. The only thing you wont be able to sort is the time and date as this is controlled by the radio that connects to the TFT.

Hi Paul, I’ve read online that the TFT has a only limited menu and all other settings are done on the Uconnect radio in later models. Hexadecimal? Is that that a custom proxi alignment? Multiecuscan should integrate those settings in their software for those who don’t have the Uconnect radio. How can I get the hexadecimal is on their forum? Thanks

The software will only let you increase the mileage, it wont let you rollback, and Welcome from the US

@@CarsForPaul thanks and I look forward to more videos. There are a few folks doing Abarths over here too WatchJRGo and Hoovies Garage. They have had some interesting issues and they documented their fixes. Miles on theirs are higher so possibly upcoming issues for you.

You're welcome

Yes you can!

Watch out ! Some starts only for model 2012 and up 😊

you wont be able to set the time and date, and I also had to get support from Multiescscan to work out the hex code, but other than that, everything else works.

Thanks for the speedy response. Do you think maybe an official abarth dealer might be able to set the time ?

yep pretty much plug and play

From ebay

it will work on the pop too

It does it itself, I didnt need to do anything

Hi Tim, did you manage the throttle dial working when in sport mode yet?

They may do

you can email multiscan support who will send you the hexadecimal code based on your TFT clock type.

Cars For Paul Thanks, will do

You will need multiECUscan to fix this, its free to download (last time I checked) but you will need to buy a dongle from ebay

Yes I did, the Mulitecuscan support team sent me the hex code to change it from km to miles

@@CarsForPaul Do you remember what the hex code was? Currently have mine stuck in km’s

Unfortunately you will not be able to change the date and time without the appropriate radio to match the clock

on ebay, search for tft screen

Yes it does

@@CarsForPaul And how about a regular Fiat 500 from 2009 with Blue and me gen 1? Would it work too?

Off eBay

yes it will

Yep the came good and fixed it

@@CarsForPaul Was proxi alignment the procedure that fixed it,or other procedure?

@@CarsForPaul can you tell me please what was the procedure? Thanks!

How could I do this without my extended warranty company freaking out. They flip with anything that messes with odometer for obvious reasons.

I fear that something on the dash or speedo can be different with 2 differents manometer : psi vs bar.

contact multiesuscan on their forum, thats how I resolved this issue

Paul did you managed to change the speed clock you installed with the kilometres to miles

Yes it will, you will need the hex code from mutiesuscan but it will work

@@CarsForPaul Brilliant I love watching your videos

@@CarsForPaul also what's the name of the software I would need

I got a new hex code sent to me by multiecuscan

@@CarsForPaul - can you share the hex code please? Is it something unique to your vehicle?

No I didn't

Th mileage is currently showing km's so it not wrong, but I need to change it to MPH which I am stuck on at the moment.

I think he's referring to the 895 which was the milage but you had said 985 out loud. Pretty sure you would look back at your video for correct reading when correcting the new one. 👍

Mark Wright yes mark that’s what I was referring to.

You need the corresponding head unit to change the time and date

@@CarsForPaul I do not understand friend explain more in details? Thank you

I actually did type in the mileage but I cant get it to switch to mileage

You might need to change it on the actual dash menu and not in the software?

I think now you’ve changed the settings to miles you just have to redo the proxy alignment. Your video makes it look like the mileage changed automatically when you did the proxy. How comes you didn’t show the actual procedure for the typing in the mileage?

No you wont, but you wont be able to set the time or date without it. I have a Atoto head in my car so I get the time and date from that

Did it also changed the date of the tft display? Or will it beeb always on 1 januari?

@@devoneijkelenkamp5732 I'm assuming if I put the old unit back in and change the cluster settings it'll be okay. I'll try it tomorrow and I'll post up whether it's yay or nay.

Ikr I was like... Are you dyslexic?

I did hear my error when I played it back, lol👍😂

@@CarsForPaul :) love it, love the videos keep them coming, mistakes and all, we all make them and it's big of you to admit it.

Thanks

Lol, indeed
