Frequently asked questions and answers
Repair of Alfa Romeo Spider radios, navigation and amplifiers: booking, module shipping and quote.
Do you repair the factory radio, navigation system and amplifier from the Alfa Romeo Spider?
Yes, at OEMatic we service factory, removed radio, navigation and amplifier modules from the Alfa Romeo Spider. We identify originality by the sticker with the part number and do not handle Android replacements.
Is repairing the radio in an Alfa Romeo Spider worthwhile instead of replacing it?
We will assess whether repairing the module from an Alfa Romeo Spider is worthwhile after checking the factory removed unit; before shipping, we will ask for photos and a description so we can provide an indicative quote. After inspection, we will confirm the scope of work and the final price.
What does the quote for repairing the radio in an Alfa Romeo Spider look like?
To get a quote for repairing the module from an Alfa Romeo Spider, before sending it please provide: make/model/year, a description of the symptoms and a photo of the removed module with the label. We will give you an approximate quote; after checking the unit, we will confirm the final cost and scope of work.
Should I bring the car in, or send the removed module from an Alfa Romeo Spider?
Send the removed module from an Alfa Romeo Spider by courier, or deliver it in person by arrangement. When packing, protect the screen and connectors, use a rigid box and padding, and pack any additional items separately; removal and refitting should be handled by a workshop.
What should I prepare before sending an Alfa Romeo Spider radio for repair?
When submitting a module from an Alfa Romeo Spider, send the make, model, year, a description of the symptoms and a photo of the removed module with the label; you do not need to know the radio name. We will give you an approximate quote before dispatch, and confirm the final cost after inspection.
Repair of radio, navigation and amplifier for the Alfa Romeo Spider covers the factory Connect NAV and Connect NAV+ navigation units fitted in this model.
Which devices do we service?
In the Alfa Romeo Spider we service Connect NAV and Connect NAV+ units (Magneti Marelli) — factory radios with navigation that communicate with the car’s computer.
How can you tell the fault is in the module?
The sign that service help is needed with these navigation units is a code request:
- after switching on the ignition, the "Master Code Request" screen appears with a field for four digits,
- without entering the code, the radio cannot be used,
- the problem started after disconnecting the battery or after fitting a navigation unit from another car.
The reason is simple: the navigation unit compares the car’s chassis number with the one stored in its memory, and if they differ it asks for a code.
What determines whether a repair makes sense, and what information is needed?
The scope of work depends on the condition of the factory module and the information provided with the enquiry. Answers to three questions will be useful:
- whether the unit is the original module with a label showing the part number,
- whether the problem is the code, or whether you can see something else on the screen,
- whether the navigation unit has been replaced or repaired before.
The code is stored in the memory on the main board, so we read it from the removed unit. We present the result of the inspection and the scope of work before starting. We do not service Android replacements fitted instead of factory units.
