That's the old passive system, not the new active one.
To answer the OPs question, I had a quick look at my late 2018 Turismo this weekend to see if there was any wiring or plumbing for the new active monza but alas there is nothing on the car - so I guess it's a trip to the dealer's parts dept to have a look at the schematics to see what other components would be needed.

Why are you selling so soon - that car isn't even a year old yet?

It strikes me that Bertie doesn't give two hoots about the forum.
He's prolific on facebook but when was the last time he ever showed up over here?
He's the webmaster, it's his duty to be regularly monitoring and maintaining this site. If he can't or won't do that he should either shut it down or give it to someone who can & will.

Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Re: Bluespark Tuning box

They do leave a trace.
A skilled dealer technician can review engine data and they will immediately be able to prove a tuning box has been used.
I know of people who have had warranty claims declined by dealers for having had tuning boxes fitted despite having removed them before taking the car in.

Given that Tune4Performance aren't that far away from there, I'd just play it safe and go and see Tony - he's THE man for Abarth remapping.

Don't bother with bluespark. Take a trip to Tony at Tune4Performance and you'll end up with a much better outcome for similar money.

Sounds like someone didn't bleed the brakes properly.

Please I ask you not to make de-cat versions.
We all share this earth and have to breathe in the same air as do our children.
There's absolutely no good reason to start poisoning the air anymore than we already do purely to make your car go a little faster. It's a really selfish attitude.

Introductions / Re: Space saver help
« on: March 25, 2019, 09:23:51 AM »
I have a Panda spacesaver in mine - came with all the tools (jack, brace etc).
Uses the same wheel bolts as the standard wheels.
Always fit a spacesaver to the rear - irrespective of whether it's a front or rear tyre that's punctured. Putting a spacesaver on the front leads to steering issues and is usually enough to invalidate your insurance.
The great thing about the 500 shape is that when you jack the front wheel, it lifts the rear anyway.

You don't need to take any trim off - there's enough give in the panels as fitted to slip the wire behind - then pop the cig ligher socket out of the centre console and you can feed the connections to the rear of it.
