Just now I carried out the procedure as mentioned.

While the female Voice said "Update Started", then it immediately said "Update Error" followed by "Please check the contents in the USB device" and disconnected. What could be the reason?

Now, while the phone gets paired, it does not show the pass code on the display ( although I can enter the pass code based on the verbal instructions ) and neither the Telephone number ( while receiving or dialing ).

What do I do? I feel helpless.

Please help.

Some clarifications:
Blue&Me works absolutely fine with any hard-disk (HDD and Flash) based iPods that run the iPod operating system (I think that's pretty much all iPods except the iPhone and iPod Touch). The reason these don't (yet) work is because they are essentially computers rather than iPods, and they run the Mac operating system - OSX.

You'll need a dock-connector-to-usb cable to plug your iPod into the B&M socket.

The only exception or caveat to the above, is that the iPod must be formatted with a Windows disk format. That means the iPod must be set up in iTunes on Windows. If you have a PC, that should be no problem. If you have a Mac, you'll need to borrow a friend's PC to format your iPod. Once you've done this, simply plug your iPod back into your Mac, and it will re-sync all your songs.

Now to bust the myth about song formats! Blue&Me is capable of playing many, many file types - including mp3, wmv, wav, mp4 and aac. Many people think that you cannot play songs bought in iTunes, or aac files over B&M - this is not true. You cannot play DRM protected songs from iTunes (and these happen to be aac files). However, you can play any iTunes-bought song in the iTunes+ format (DRM free, but also aac files). In fact, (almost) all iTunes files are now iTunes+ since the abolition of DRM protection in iTunes.

There is also a myth that aac is some kind of Apple proprietary format for songs - again this untrue. Aac is an open source audio format which in many respects is superior to wmv and mp3 its just that it is not as popular as MP3. Hope this helps.

Hi there to all,
Being a Mac & iPhone User, I was unaware that iPods could be made as FAT32 disks & still sync back the songs from Mac iTunes! Thank you @kaps for the clarifications. I connected the old iPod Classic to a Windows machine & iTunes propmted me to flash the firmware by downloading a 6MB file (again no OS helps). I synced back the songs from my Mac & the B&M system is able to play the songs...
One issue though - it doesn't recognize the playlists! Is there any solution for that?

@Prakhar- When you play music via the pen drive (USB), you are not playing it through the Head Unit but they are being played via Windows Media Player. That's why you can not use Head Unit controls to change tracks.

You can manually skip to next track by pressing the next button (Up arrow button) on the steering controls.

I too have a 16GB HP stick and which is ~50% full as of now. Some times it does behave erratically. When i turn to the Mar position, the media player starts as usual. And then, when i crank after a few secs, the media player stops temporarily(which is also usual) but sometimes does not come back to Media Player and jumps to either CD/FM(if CD is not inside). Even if i annouce 'folders' Lina says no media device available. I have to go back to the media player via the steering controls, if i wish. There are quite a few bugs in the Blue & Me out of which 3 are quite irritating for me at times (one i have already described earlier in this thread to which till date i have failed to get any help from anybody ) and i think FIAT needs to pay some more attention to overcome this in future revisions. :hit

::V @Saugdas ji- I think to are referring to the query you once put regarding selecting folders via voice commands right?

I'm sorry for not coming back with the result after replying last time. I will come back with a reply by 6-7pm. :geek:

If not using HU, then how is the sound amplified by BnM (Windows Media Player)? does our car have an amp for BnM?? if so where is it & can we exploit it ?

I still believe the Blu n Mi uses Stock HU to process the sound...

@Cubbie- Arrey sir ji, what I meant that the song is being played via Media Player but of course some of the settings and processing of sound is done by the Head Unit only. Leaving everything upon the B&M would be a costly affair and why to put extra stuff when there is a HU already.

Blue&Me controls just the playback related options while Head Unit does the rest. Blue&Me uses the amp of head unit only. There is no separate amp for Blue&Me.
