⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY CHECK (Must Read Before Buying):
To avoid returns and ensure 100% fitment, please verify your Fiat's dashboard against the following 3 strict rules:
1. Supported Car Models & Years:
2. Screen Size Requirement:
3. The "Phone Button" Rule (Crucial!):
Please look at the physical buttons located below your screen:

✅ COMPATIBLE: Your panel must have the old "Nokia-style" phone icon.
-
❌ NOT COMPATIBLE: If your panel has a modern "iPhone-style" icon, this module will NOT work for your car.
