Title: IPOD's n the new Uconnect update giulietta 2015 QV
Post by: lombardi on October 06, 2017, 12:19:54 PM
Wow what a difference , the Uconnect was always a big disappointment in my Giulietta , very slow in connection to Ipods etc.

Installed new update by Mcarrols on wednesday ,  it has improved perfomance radically ,  instant connection to ipods n all album covers appear as should , one drawback is the album cover graphics appear smaller than previous , still very happy , a big improvement ..

Have you asked or surfed the MES support forum for that one?  If it's possible with the paid software, you're welcome to tee something up with me, to use the laptop.  I expect to be meandering south in the ute late this month and will have it with me as a matter of course.

Can you please confirm the version installed by Mcarrols ... the folks at Parramatta Alfa Service don't seem to be having this update.

Thanks

I follow that thread as well.....but cannot find a version that is specific to Australia and any significant feedback on the changes.

Thanks lombardi

This was the system update made recently. Don't see the maps updated. Will reach out to Terry and checkout the stable version!
