Thanks. I don't know about sound quality, the microphone is completely dead, and speech recognition isn't working. The error code indicates a problem with the infotainment system itself. Is this the same problem you had?

Understood. Given that the microphone is unresponsive and the error code points to an infotainment system malfunction, my previous experience aligns with a similar diagnosis. I think a workshop visit would be prudent to resolve the error. Get a professional diagnosis for comprehensive system testing.

I appreciate the advice. It confirms my suspicions. I had the system checked, and it requires replacement, as expected. The repair will cost 815€. Thanks again.

I also own a Fiat Idea, not sure of the year. I seem to recall something similar. Could it be speech recognition? Does the microphone capture excessive ambient noise or have other sound quality issues when in use?
