Can you tell me what you mean on the backlight? Do you have the picture of the old vs new?

Note the new rear lights. This tft is for restyling models and has the short menu.

For European models this is so.

It starts with 735

Hi alex-et3,

Please could you check out these TFTs for me?

As per my original post I have a 2011 Abarth 500.

Is there not something in the Custom Proxy data bytes that can be amended in the same way that the value of Byte 65 can be changed to "60" for the Abarth graphics?



Many thanks

Hi!
These odometers are both for 500 Abarth Restyling.
Unfortunately they have the short menu.
You can not change the menu by editing the proxy because it changes the odometer software.

PS:
The odometer of the first photo you took on ebay from smg.express.parts?
I bought the body computer of that 500 Abarth.
I bought because I did experiments.

Thank you for checking.

The speedo in the first in the first pic with a manufacture date of 07/06/2016 is what I bought from a guy on eBay. He had it running in a 2013 Abarth which had a 2009 ECU and BCM. He said there were no issues with the time flashing and not being able to change it. The graphics he had on there (he sent me a video) were of the S4 with the rev counter inside the clack centre ring.

I'm not too bothered by not having all the menus - I just want the correct time/date and for the time to stop flashing!

The first picture is how the graphics were when I received the TFT and plugged it in (car missing from the 'road').
The second picture is after I changed the byte in the Custom Proxy editor in MES (with G=meter).

Unfortunately, you can not do anything to adjust the date and time.
That TFT is for 500 Restyling and the date and time in that car set it from the Uconnect radio.
To adjust the date and time you should find a Uconnect radio to temporarily connect only to adjust the date and time.

Here you can clearly see your TFT is the model with a reduced menu.That's the Abarth 500 Restyling!

So if I plug a Uconnect into my car into the standard A/B/C ISO audio/power connector, I would be able to set the date/time?
