Stilo How to "Abarth" the interior of your Stilo!

So if you've done everyting right so far and have the loom in the right place then this part is going to be a walk in the park! All you have to do now is fit in your Connect Nav and digital heater controller. The new stalk assembly (or old one if you didn't bother ) can slide on along with the clock spring/ steering wheel.

There are four wiring plugs for the digital heater controler - black, blue, brown and white. All of them plug into the back of the controller and it is pretty obvious where they go on it, the white plug plugs in here on the dash loom:




This is the power feed for the climate controller, you don't plug this in it won't power up!

All the connections for the Connect Nav are in a bundle and they all connect up as they should no problem, once they are connected just slide the Nav into the cage in the dash.

Refitting the stalks is the reverse of removal, just tighten up the jubilee.

Clip the new clock spring to the new steering wheel and slide it onto the steering collumn, plug in the wiring plug on the bottom of the clock spring (for steering wheel buttons to work!). Connect everything back up to the stalks and ignition barrell, not forgetting the ignition barrell antenna!

Then refit the airbag into the steering wheel, not forgetting the yellow and green connectors for it.

That should be you pretty much ready to try it out! Connect up your battery and then switch on the ignition. What happens?? Does the Connect Nav boot up? Does the digital climate controller light up too? If so then you have done it!! You should have something like this:



Well done to you if you have! :slayer:

Have a play with the climate controll, adjust the fan speed and see if it responds, it should all be working as it should. Last thing to do before starting your Stilo up again is to clip the hoses back into the heater matrix in the engine bay and fill up with coolant. Now try and get some hot air in there!

There will be one wiring plug left over from this though and that's the ESP - if your Stilo doesn't have it that is. Here's where the extra wiring plug is:
