Fiat Blue and Me

[JulesV]

Help pleae. Mrs JVs 500 has Blue and Me fitted. How on earth does it work? I have saved various CDs onto Windows Media Player and then copied them to a Memory Stick. I think I have done this correctly as when I plug the stick back into the computer, it works.

However when I plug it into the car, nothing. Mrs JV has been playing CDs in the car since she bought it as I have never been able to get the Blue and Me to work. I've told her to take it back to the dealer but I thought I would ask on here before hand in case I am doing something stupid, which I probably am.......

Are you saving them as the correct format? Blue and Me only recognises MP3s.

Loads of info on the Fiat Forum: http://www.fiatforum.com/blue-me/.

Thanks, about to start ploughing through it in an attempt to make the bloody thing work.

I have blue and me on my Grande Punto, I just saved a load of mp3s onto a memory stick, plugged it in and it worked fine, so provided the format is correct it should be a doddle.

Sorry to be a total numpty but.....if I put a CD into the computer, open it in Windows Media Player and thensave it to the memory stick, will that be in the correct format?

I'm not sure it will.
Don't you have to do that Rip & Burn thingy?
If you just copy the tracks they will be .wav files and you need them to be .mp3

Or am I muddled too?

I think Blue & Me only sees MP3 files, and windows media player rips in WMA format. Try using iTunes maybe that def rips in mp3.

So how do I know what format my music is in?

Just discovered that it is all in a .wma format, so it should work then?
