The Alfa MiTo will improve its onboard infotelematics capability with the addition of Blue&Me–TomTom, with the new option, so far only available on Fiat's Punto Evo and Doblò, debuting at the 80th Geneva Motor Show tomorrow.

Blue&Me–TomTom is much more than a portable satellite navigation device. It is a genuine infotelematic system which combines practical use with the complete integration with the vehicle's existing systems. It is the result of a partnership between Fiat Group Automobiles and TomTom, the European leader in portable navigation systems, and integrates with the other systems in the car thanks to the versatility of the Blue&Me system, developed in conjunction with Magneti Marelli.

Thanks to a practical 4.3” colour touch-screen and a simple and intuitive graphic interface, you can control the navigation functions, your telephone and the information typically displayed only on the trip computer, such as fuel consumption levels and autonomy.

The complete integration of the Blue&Me-TomTom is also a valid support for safety: the control of the features via the controls on the steering wheel and voice commands, the position at the centre of the dashboard which is easy to reach and visible, the electricity supply integrated into the support.

Moreover, it can be transferred for other uses like any other portable device. The “Blue&Me–TomTom” on the Alfa Romeo MiTo also offers “IQ route” technology, to find the best route considering the date and time of travel, calculated on a database that contains traffic information on a statistical basis. Thanks to the TomTom Home web application customised for Alfa Romeo, further features will readily become available. These include the on-line updating of maps and "MapShare”, the large internet community with over 5 million registered users who can share the information on maps in real time.

Compared to a normal portable satellite navigation system, the "Blue&Me-TomTom" also incorporates the exclusive “Car Menu” to let you display information on the car and all connected devices: “Fuel Efficiency”: real-time information on your driving style and suggestions for reducing environmental impact and optimising consumption by changing gear and accelerating appropriately to suit the nature of the route; All trip information on a single screen: distance travelled, consumption and range; Fuel reserve warning and directions to the nearest filling station; Places of interest, Alfa Romeo service centres and LPG filling stations; Management of the mobile phone connected to Blue&Me: dialling the number on the touch screen, call management, information, contacts and last call log.

The new Blue&Me-TomTom application for the Alfa Romeo Mito is, in short, a genuine "window of communication with the vehicle” to allow the exploitation of its full potential and to improve your driving style in complete safety and maximum comfort.
