This model can be equipped with a UCONNECT TM 5" Radio Nav radio navigator, specifically designed to be integrated on the car: it is a 5" TOUCHSCREEN radio (called "VP2"), available in different versions, with or without "DAB" (new Digital Radio standard).

The navigation system, developed in collaboration with TomTom, is incorporated in the radio with pre-loaded maps of major European states.

The navigation system with road maps makes it possible to determine the position of the vehicle on the map at any time (for both urban and extra-urban/motorway road networks) showing it on the radio navigator display.

In this way the driver is guided step-by-step to the required destination, by means of voice messages and visual information. The system also provides additional information for reaching general services, namely: hotels, car parks, restaurants, chemists', service stations, hospitals, FIAT workshops, railway stations, airports, etc.

The navigation system uses GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite location technology and is inside the radio navigation unit.

Vehicle position is identified by analysing GPS data together with speedometer and reverse gear signals received from the vehicle.

The radio is a CAN node through which information is exchanged with the Body Computer and with the other electronic units.

The radio is equipped with an anti-theft system through the connection of the radio on the CAN with the Body Computer; it also manages volume control linked to the vehicle speed: the volume increases and decreases in relation to the speed of the vehicle: this information reaches the radio node through the CAN.

Some versions are equipped with a series of buttons on the steering wheel: these make it possible to replicate some of the commands which are acquired in the same way by the radio itself.

An external source can be connected to the AUX socket, located at the bottom of the central console

The stylus aerial is fitted at the rear of the roof and has three functions (FM1 radio, DAB radio, if present, and GPS).

The FM2 radio aerial uses the heated rear window heating elements.

In the Start&Stop versions, the "VP2-NAV" radio supply is controlled by a device inside it and AN EXTERNAL VOLTAGE STABILISER IS NOT NECESSARY.

The radio P020 receives a direct battery power supply (pin 44 of connector A) through the line for fuse F36 of the Body Computer M001.

Pin 43 of P020 is earthed.

The CAN reaches pin 12 and 2 of radio P020 and connects it to the Body Computer M001 and the other system nodes.

The Body Computer M001 is connected to the radio controls on the steering wheel via the clock spring D047: pin 35 of connector D provides the reference earth at pin 6 of D047; pin 52 of connector D of M001 receives the signals from the buttons to the right of the steering wheel, whilst pin 50 of connector D of M001 receives the signals from the buttons to the left of the steering wheel.

The Body Computer M001 - connector A - receives a direct power supply from the battery through the line protected by maxi fuse F01 of the engine compartment junction unit B001.

The Body Computer M001 receives an ignition-controlled (INT) power supply at pin 11 of connector E, whilst pin 9 of connector E of M001 provides the Body Computer with a reference earth.

The following cables with signals for the speakers leave connector A of P020:

- pins 47 and 51 to the front left speakers P035 and P045;

- pins 46 and 50 to the front right speakers P036 and P046;

- pins 48 and 52 to the rear left speakers P030 and P047;

- pins 45 and 49 to the rear right speakers P031 and P048.

The aerial P025 - connector A on standard version and connector B on DAB version - is connected to the radio through dedicated coaxial cables.

The P025a (FM1 - DAB and GPS) stylus aerial and the P025b (FM2) aerial incorporated in the heated rear window are connected to the radio by means of dedicated coaxial cables.

AUX socket P157A is connected to radio P020, connector A at pins 7, 6, 16, 17, 13 and 18, through the AUX-IN Reference, AUX-IN RG, AUX-IN LF, AUX-IN Detect, trim lighting, display earth signals respectively.
