How to Upgrade the Fiat 500 Uconnect 5" Firmware

Step 1 Prepare firmware
• Download Version Firmware (VP2 CO version)
• Extract the zip file and copy it to the USB stick. A USB2 stick is advised with a capacity of at least 2GB and no more than 16GB.
• If you get a not compatible error during this process upgrade to 12.00.24.01 followed by 13.00.57.05 before finally upgrading to 13.00.74.00. this will ensure you have a upgrade path.
• If you are on a 13 .xx.xx.xx version already, above should not be required. Any verion older than 12.xx.xx.x uplifting to 12.00.24.1 should get you there
