    Is the F! Transmission Control Unit ( ECU for gearbox) the same on the 4200 F1 as the 360/ 575 F1 or Alfa?

    I have a possible issue with the TCU on the 575. I was reading previous posts about similar parts used in Alfa etc and wondered if the TCY was common to al these cars as the basics of the operation are the same.

    4200 Bluetooth Connection

    Thanks for this. I am an idiot when it comes to this. Hence some stupid basic questions: If connected this means that the CD player can no longer be used? Is the connector in the back of the facia unit or in the back of the CD unit in the armrest? What is displayed on the facia screen when this...

    Advice Needed Left hand rear light has now power

    Hi The new unit had bulb holders but there is no power when you connect the new or old light to any lights on the entire unit. I bought the new unit with bulb holders as I think in the past someone has put the wrong type into one brake light.
