THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free
kit is voice recognition with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. With this system you
can make and receive calls safely and se-
curely using either voice commands or
buttons on the steering wheel under what-
ever driving condition without having to
take your eyes off the road or removing
your hands from the steering wheel, as re-
quired by current law regulations.
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car. To use the hands-free kit, you need a
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free kit gives
you the possibility of interacting vocally
with your mobile phone while driving,
even if your mobile device does not fea-
ture this capability. You can also interact
with your mobile phone manually and vi-
sually using the steering wheel controls
and the instrument panel multifunction dis-
play.
For further details on the mobile phones
supported by Blue&Me™, refer to sec-
tion Blue&Me™SUPPORTED MOBILE
PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me™hands-
free kit with voice recognition, you have
to simply pair your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology enabled mobile phone with the
system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology
and media player
OVERVIEW
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat
Blue&Me™is a personal telematic sys-
tem enabling to use communication and
entertainment applications expressly de-
signed for use in the car.
The Blue&Me™system installed on your
car is equipped with hands-free kit and
media player, and it is preset for future in-
stallation of additional services.
The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of in-
teracting with your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology mobile phone (even if you
keep it in your pocket or bag) without hav-
ing to take your eyes off the road or re-
moving your hands from the steering
wheel. To use voice commands you are
not required to train the voice recognition
system to recognize your voice. This im-
plies that the system is nearly equally per-
forming with different persons, i.e.: the
voice recognition system is of the “speak-
er independent” type.

MEDIA PLAYER
With the Blue&Me™media player you
can play, via the car sound system, the dig-
ital audio files stored on a USB device by
simply connecting it to the USB port lo-
cated in the car.
In this way, while you are driving you can
play your favourite personal music collec-
tions.
The media player enables the following op-
erations:
❒Digital audio playback- you can play
all your digital audio files (.mp3, .wma,
.wav) or play a customized playlist (.m3u
or .wplformat).
❒Audio file selection by category-
you can play all audio files of a certain
category, e.g.: album, artist or genre.
❒Playback options- while playing tracks
you can select the following options: Play,
Stop, Next track, Previous track, Shuffle and
Loop track.
Note
The media player does not support audio
files compressed with other formats (e.g.:
.aac) and DRM (Digital Right Management)
protected audio files. Non-supported au-
dio files that may be present on the USB
device will be ignored.To use the media player, you have to sim-
ply connect (directly or by an extension
lead) your USB device to the car USB
port. Turning the ignition key to MAR,
Blue&Me™will start building your me-
dia library. At the end of this operation
you can surf the whole library and scroll
its categories as required using the but-
tons on the steering wheel or voice com-
mands. Blue&Me™will then play your
selection via the car sound system.
