Fiat Linea 1.4 FIRE Emotion Pack (Petrol) - My Dates with the RED Beauty !!!

VahanPujari · 14th August 2009, 23:36

Took Lina on a romantic date today & pampered her a bit

Voila, voice commands worked like butter. The failure rate was minimal today. Why was I saying STOP Media when only "STOP" was enough?

Even call commands with contact names with first name & last name worked.

Lina o Lina, Lina Lina
Bin tere jina, jina jina
Saarey shehar mein, nahi tujsi koi hasina.. lol

Lina is quick to learn! after all shez an italian chick!

now coming to the phone having multiple numbers for the same name :

e.g : Amit work 9XXXXXXXX
Home 9XXXXXXXX
Mobile 9XXXXXXXXX
Wife 9 XXXXXXXXX

the B&M stores the numbers and displays as 4 Amit. if Amit had 2 numbers it would be displayed as 2 Amit. when this is displayed is SRC / OK is clicked it opens the sub group of the 4 numbers of Amit, however without the work / home / mobile tags.

Mobile phone in question: blackberry Bold 9000

Great. will check this out tom.
I guess it is not dispalying multiple numbers in my linea. Today I selected a contact with multiple numbers in my phone & sent it via bluetooth to B&M. My phone asked me "Send all numbers or default number?", I selected all numbers & sent the card. Then I tried to call that contact. Instead of asking "Call xxx on home or office?", Lina asked me "Call xxx now?". That means it stored only 1 number.

Another query. When I scroll to a contact in B&M phonebook thro steering control, select it & then press SRC/OK, nothing happens & I can't see phone number of the contact in any way. In your case, does pressing SRC/OK shows phone numbers of that contact?

Left side Wiper fluid spraying nozzle has become loose. Checked it & tried to fit it. Its just moved out of the groove, does not seem to be serious, but could not fix it & did not want to apply force afraid of breaking it. When I'll visit TASS (already 2-3 points accumulated for the visit), will get it fixed

I've a query. Inside the boot, on left hand side-wall there is a hook fixed & on the right hand side-wall there is a string (with a loop) coming out of a small hole. What are these for ?

The hook on the LHS side of the Boot is for hanging the car care accessory bag that is available for Fiat vehicles from Fiat International. also it is used to attach the boot compartment net.

the string on the RHS side is the manual fuel lid opener in case the remote fuel lid opener in the driver side footwell doesnt work or in case the cable inside gets jammed. pull the string hard. the fuel flap will open!

. that is one crazy explanation given. you can take the car to the same fiat guy and tell him that the vehicle has a problem. "when the string is pulled the fuel flap opens up" and see what he does. in the mean time when you are free, you can pull the string and see if what i say is right!

Pls share how is it? is the seat still going down? or has it solved the issue?

Dear Amit, Sorry for replying late as came back to my this automobile home(t-bhp!) today only. Its now 20 days my seat height issue was attended by Fiat and I do not find a single occasion when it has gone down. In this 20 days time, I have driven my Linea on almost all types of roads and seat height is same. A big difference now is the number of down strokes to lower the seat height. It has gone up to 18 as liver is placed lower than before. The number of strokes to increase the height of the seat remains same at 13. the thigh support is inadequate as before. Overall, I am quite happy with the new seat height adjuster mechanism and you should also go for it.
What about Blue&Me update? Have you gone for it? I read Snilrj's thread and waiting for more feedback.
