FIAT LINK & DRIVE
The FIAT Link & Drive system is an in-
car system designed to play supported
music files either by interacting with
your smartphone, after downloading
the FIAT Link & Drive app, or via the
USB port under the climate control
system controls (wav, mp3, aac, wma).
The FIAT Link & Drive system is
activated from the outside when the
doors are unlocked and deactivated
when the driver's door is opened with
the ignition device in the OFF position.

users must download the FIAT Link &
Drive app from Apple App Store or
Google Play Store. The app makes
it easier to use the telephone and
minimises distraction. The functions
within the app can be used to manage
phone calls, play audio files and web
radio stations, navigate and manage
audio settings.
To use the app, pair your smartphone
or tablet with the FIAT Link & Drive
system via Bluetooth® .
