I know there are guides for this, but its so indepth, its easy to kind of lose yourself lol. I have the unit on its own and judging by the guide, need a microphone and some looms? Have neither, so not good start lol. Unless of course the mic is built into the unit? That would make things easier. I'm planning to install it without changing the antenna (Mainly because I refuse to start mucking around with the headlining and stuff). Its more on the phone usage that I'm interested in. I would appreciate, if there are any available, a picture guide to installing this as it also requires fitting a delay and to be honest, I aint the best person to start mucking with the engine or electrics as such if I dont know what I'm doing lol. Also, if possible, could someone advise me on the best microphone to get?

Once I know how to install the unit, I will prob change to the black one as I dont like the light effect as a fascia... Would be so much easier if they were changeable! lol!

Do you need a cd mutichanger to cn+ cable TackyAuto ?? i have one you can have for free if you want it

I don’t think your issue is related to the code. When the unit starts up it will query the body computer via the can network to check the code. If the code in the CN+ doesn’t match the code stored in the body computer it will ask for a code.

Because your unit is locking up on the fiat logo I would say its got a partially corrupt flash or something..

When you power it on, it basically tries to

1. Boot vxworks kernel (CN+ operating system)
2. initialise CAN network (this is the bit the timer delay relay allows you to skip thus preventing the flashing mileage)
3. check code against body computer (via CAN network)
   
4. check for CD changer on bus port.
5. load application software (what you see on the screen)

The fact you aren’t getting the flashing mileage with the unit plugged in would indicate the CN+ isn’t talking to the rest of the car or its had a CN+ fitted from the factory.


If possible I would try and test the unit by just providing power to it, if the unit still locks up then I would go about getting a refund while you still can


As far as a guide goes, there is one already in the guides section on FF. I have a CN+ but it came with my car as standard so cant help you much on the retrofitting aspect.

All the best
