OVERVIEW
Overview
FIAT’s Windows Mobile™ based BLUE&ME™ Hands-
Free Communication is a personal telematics system that
incorporates communication and entertainment applica-
tions that are expressly designed for use in your car.
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package
installed in your car is equipped with integral hands-free
kit, message reader, and media player. BLUE&ME™ is
designed to support the future installation of additional
services.
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package
features integrated voice recognition, steering wheel con-
trols and a multifunction electronic display that allows
you to use your Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled
mobile phone without having to take your eyes off the
road. You can even keep your phone in a pocket or a bag.
You are not required to train the voice recognition system
to recognize your voice. The system is “speaker indepen-
dent” and performs equally well for different users.
With this system, you can also play your favorite music
stored on a USB stick or iPod® and select tracks and
playback modes with both voice commands or buttons
on the steering wheel.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept all interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.
BLUE&ME™ OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT 5

The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication
Package
The basic characteristic of this hands-free package is
voice recognition with Bluetooth® wireless technology.
With this system you can make and receive calls safely
and securely using either voice commands or buttons on
the steering wheel, under any driving condition, without
having to take your eyes off the road or removing your
hands from the steering wheel, as required by current
legal regulations.
Bluetooth® wireless technology enables wireless connec-
tion between your mobile phone and the hands-free
package installed on your car.
To use the hands-free package, you need a Bluetooth®
wireless technology enabled mobile phone. This hands-
free package gives you the possibility of interacting
vocally with your mobile phone while driving, even if
your mobile device does not feature this capability. You
can also interact with your mobile phone manually and
visually using the steering wheel controls and the instru-
ment panel multifunction display.
For further details on the mobile phones supported by
BLUE&ME™, refer to BLUE&ME™ SUPPORTED MO-
BILE PHONES.
To get started with BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communi-
cation 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 performed only
once.
6 BLUE&ME™ OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT

NOTE:
•During the mobile phone pairing procedure, the
BLUE&ME™ system becomes discoverable and gen-
erates a random 4 digit PIN. The user is required to
turn on their mobile phone’s Bluetooth function and
scan for the BLUE&ME™ system, then establish a
connection using the Personal Identification Number
(PIN).
•Once your phone is paired, you have the option to
transfer your mobile phone contacts to the hands-free
package, to make a phone call either by using the
contacts list or directly pronouncing the phone num-
ber, to answer a call, and also answer a second
incoming phone call.
•To interact with BLUE&ME™ you can use either
buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands.
With voice recognition, you can perform system func-
tions by speaking voice commands, also identified as
“keywords.” When the system recognizes a keyword,
it will respond with the appropriate action. Voice
recognition is an easy and convenient way to use
BLUE&ME™.
All the system functions are available within the
BLUE&ME™ Main Menu. When you are travelling, you
can interact with BLUE&ME™ using buttons on the
steering wheel or voice commands relevant only to
phone functions (LAST CALLS and PHONEBOOK) and
the media player. To activate settings when travelling you
can only use voice commands.
BLUE&ME™ OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT 7

The hands-free package enables the following operations:
•Contact calling by voice – you can call a contact in
your mobile phone phonebook using your voice. You

tion, you can receive notification of another incoming
phone call, answer the other incoming phone call, and
switch between two ongoing phone conversations.
(Call waiting is only supported by a compatible mobile
phone.)
•Refusing an incoming call or ending a call – you can
refuse an incoming call or end a current call by
pressing the Phone Hang-up button on the steering
wheel.
8 BLUE&ME™ OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT

Message Reader
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables automatic
reading, through the car sound system, of the SMS texts
you receive on your Bluetooth® wireless technology
enabled mobile phone that are received when the phone
is paired and connected to BLUE&ME™ system. The
message reader does not provide access to messages that
were received before you entered the car and connected
with the BLUE&ME™ system. Only a subset of
abbreviations and emoticons are supported by the
BLUE&ME™ system.
NOTE: Not all mobile phones support the SMS text
message reader function or automatic phonebook trans-
fer via Bluetooth®. For further information on the
list of compatible mobile phones go to http://
www.fiatusa.com, find the SUPPORT section near the
bottom of web page and click on the Bluetooth® logo.
Message reader functions are managed by the control
buttons on the steering wheel or by the BLUE&ME™
voice commands.
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables the following
operations:
•To display an indicator on the instrument panel that
indicates you have received a new SMS text. It will
display the sender’s number/name and will ask you
whether to read the text of the message to you.
•To manage the list of SMS texts received on your
BLUE&ME™ paired mobile phone.
BLUE&ME™ OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT 9

mobile phone was connected to BLUE&ME™ will be

steering wheel or voice commands.
•To delete individual messages or the entire inbox using

BLUE&ME™ system and not by your mobile phone.
The BLUE&ME™ system can also recognize and read
abbreviations, if any (e.g., “ILUVU” will be read “I love
you”) and can interpret most common emoticons (e.g., :-)
will be read “Smile”), used today to write SMS texts.
Media Player
With the BLUE&ME™ media player you can play, via the
car sound system, digital audio files stored on a USB stick
or iPod® by simply connecting it to the USB port located
in the glove box of the car.

tions:

ized playlist (.m3u or .wpl format).
•Audio file selection by category - you can play all
audio files of a certain category, e.g., album, artist or
genre.
10 BLUE&ME™ OWNER’S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT

NOTE: Each audio file category must be tagged before

using the buttons on the steering wheel or voice
commands. BLUE&ME™ will then play your selection
