Seeking Advice on Troubleshooting 2018 Fiat 500's Malfunctioning Audio and Navigation System

Hey there! Had a similar issue with my 2018 Fiat 500, Diesel engine. I'm no expert, but I've got some experience with cars. Thought the problem was with the Audiosystem too, but it turned out my Bass speaker was defective. Took it to my usual workshop. They sorted it out real quick, didn't burn a hole in my pocket either, just costed me around 280€. Can you tell me more about your ride? Have you noticed any other symptoms or peculiar behavior? Sharing more details could help me give you a more useful response. Cheers!

Hey there! My 500's clocked in at a 182988 km mileage and had its latest service quite recently. I honestly noticed no other strange symptoms. It's just the Audiosystem being off and wonky Navigationssystem. I'm leaning towards your Bass speaker theory as I haven't had my speakers checked ever since I bought the car. Gonna give that a shot at my local workshop and see how things go. Thanks for your insight!

Hey back at ya! After reading your detailed response it sounds more like a speaker or a small electrical problem. But keep in mind, I'm just sharing from my own experience with my 500. The issue with your 500 could still be varied. I'd advise you not to entirely rule out the possibility of a malfunction in the audio system itself. Those old systems can be quite tricky, and often the issues are intertwined. Please do update on how the workshop checks go. What I love about these issues is that we always come out the other side learning something new. Would love to know what you find out. And who knows, your experience might be useful to another 500 owner somewhere out there. Best of luck! Cheers!

Hello again! Just got my 500 back from the workshop today. Here's the news - you were absolutely right! There was a small electrical problem along with a wonky speaker. They managed to fix it quickly and to my surprise, the cost was quite fair. Now, both the Audiosystem and Navigationssystem are back in action. Phew! Got a chance to learn a lot about car audio systems in the process. It's quite interesting how these little things can cause big issues. Definitely sharing this information with fellow 500 owners, it might help someone in the future. Thanks again for your input, it really paid off. I'd be lost without you. Cheers!
