Blue&Me Nav Discontinued
« on: October 06, 2010, 03:09:26 PM »
Just placed my order for my 500 Abarth at Bauer Millett in Manchester today and Steve informed that Blue&Me Nav has been discontinued this morning.
Just thought I'd let people know incase they were planning to add it as an option in the near future.

B&M is still very much standard they mean the B&M Nav system is no longer available (well hasn't been since August but they've most likely had no one ordering it before now) which is no loss to anyone

Apologies 873.It was Blue&Me Nav that is no longer available.Bauer Millett gave me the impression it had just been removed,not that it happened in August.

As I said they more than likely had no one asking for the option as it is considered to be A)insanely bad value vs a tomtom and the like. B)terrible

Going to merge this thread with the current 'B&M Nav is dead - long live vitually any other navigation option' thread in the B&M section  ;D

There are rumours of a new one for the Abarth Punto Evo as the Blue & Me Tom Tom unit will not pair with the Car so perhaps theres hope for a decent replacement.  :thumb:

Ive had the occasional problem with the nav. My Tom tom and Falk have also had their issues. Lately my Abarth Nav has been no problem at all. I use it alot. Hopefully they will offer a Tom Tom similar to the Punto model.
