INTRODUCTION
ADVICE
Fiat Idea sound system, fitted with CD player (radio
with Compact Disc player) or MP3 CD player (radio
with MP3 CD player) has been designed in accordance
with the special features of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised design that blends
with the style of the dashboard. The sound system
cannot be adapted to other vehicles and for this
reason it cannot be removed.
The radio is installed in a user-friendly position for the
driver and passenger and the graphics on the front
panel make location of the controls quick, facilitating
use.
The CD Changer for 10 discs (if provided), is housed
in the boot.
In the following pages you will find the instructions for
use, which you are advised to read through carefully.
The instructions also contain the procedure for
controlling the CD Changer (if provided) through the
radio. For the instructions for use of the CD Changer
refer to the specific manual.
Road Safety
You are advised to learn how to use the various radio
functions (e.g.: storing stations) before starting to
drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly when driving.
Reception may be disturbed by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges particularly when far
away from the station being listened to.
IMPORTANT When receiving traffic information, the
volume may be higher than normal.
WARNING
Too high a volume when driving can put the driver’s life at risk and that of other
people. Therefore the volume should always be adjusted in such a way that it is
always possible to hear the noises of the surrounding environment (e.g.: horns,
ambulance, police sirens, etc.).
4
Care and maintenance
The radio structure ensures long operation with no
need for particular maintenance.In the event of a fault,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
To clean the front panel only use a soft, antistatic
cloth. Cleaning and polishing products might spoil the
surface.
Compact Disc
Remember that dirt,marks or distortion on Compact
Disc can cause skipping. To obtain optimum playing
conditions we give the following advice:
❒ only use Compact Discs which have the following
brand:
❒ carefully clean all Compact Discs of fingerprints and
dust using a soft cloth. Support Compact Discs from
the outer circumference and clean from the centre
outwards;
❒ never use chemical products for cleaning (e.g.: spray
cans,antistatic or thinners) as they might damage
the surface of Compact Discs;
❒ after use, put Compact Discs back in their
container, to avoid marks or scratches that may
cause skipping when playing;
❒ do not expose Compact Discs to direct sunlight,
high temperatures or damp for prolonged lengths of
time to prevent them from bending;
❒ do not stick labels or write on the recorded surface
of Compact Discs with pens or pencils.
To remove a Compact Disc from its container, press
the centre and raise the disc carefully, holding it by the
outer circumference.
Always hold Compact Discs by the outer
circumference. Never touch the surface.
To remove fingerprints and dust, use a soft cloth
starting from the centre of the Compact Disc
outwards.
5
Do not use highly scratched, cracked, or distorted
discs, etc. The use of these discs will involve
malfunctioning or damage to the player.
For best playing use only original CDs. Proper
operation is not guaranteed when using R/RW CDs
not properly mastered and/or with max. capacity
exceeding 650 MB.
IMPORTANT Do not use the protective sheets of
CD in commerce or discs with stabilisers, etc.as they
might get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage
the disc.
IMPORTANT Should copy-protected CDs be used,
then, few seconds may be required for playing them.
IMPORTANT The CD player can read most of the
compression systems currently on sale (e.g.: LAME,
BLADE,XING, FRAUNHOFER); however, due to the
evolution of these systems, reading of all compression
formats is not guaranteed.
New discs may be rough around the edges. When
these discs are used, the player might not work or the
sound might skip. To remove the roughness from the
edge of the disc use a ball-point pen, etc.

ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The radio is fitted with an antitheft protection system
based on the exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit (Body Computer)
installed on the car.
This system warrants the highest level of security and
prevents entry of the secret code every time the radio
supply is disconnected. After every re-connection an
automatic check procedure is performed during which
the display shows the wording “CANCHECK” for
about one second.
If the result of the check is positive, the set starts
working, whereas if the comparison codes are not the
same or if the radio is connected for the first time to
the car electric system, the device informs the user of
the need to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the following paragraph.
RADIO WITH
COMPACT DISC PLAYER
13
AND MP3 CD PLAYER
RADIO WITH COMPACT DISC
Entering the secret code
Entry of the secret code is required to allow the radio
to work after the first connection to the car electric
system.
Connecting the radio to the car supply, the display
shows the word “CODE” for about 2 seconds,
followed by “ENTER CODE: ----”.
RADIO WITH
The secret code comprises four figures from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
COMPACT DISC PLAYER
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding key of the preset stations (from 1 to 6).
Enter the other code digits in the same way.
If the four figures are not entered within 20 seconds,
the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds
and then “ENTER CODE: ----”. This is not to be
considered as an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the
radio starts working.
If a wrong code is entered,the radio sounds a “beep”,
the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds
and then “ENTER CODE: ----” to warn the user that it
is necessary to enter the correct code.
Every time the user enters a wrong code,the waiting
time increases gradually (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16
min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) until reaching a
maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the display with the
word “RADIO BLOCKED/WAIT”. When this goes off
it is possible to start the new code entry procedure.
CODE Card
This the document that certifies possession of the
radio. The Code Card contains the radio model, serial
number and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card carefully to be
able to give the related data to the competent
authorities in the event of theft.
