      ​@@arcgarage hello! I have the kilometers indication blinking in my GT 3.2 V6; it started after winter, the battery was empty so i removed it to reload it (as I did other times in the past) and then put it back and reconnected it. When I started the engine, I noticed that the kilometers are blinking. It never happened before. And I haven't changed anything.
      Do you know how to fix this issue?
      Many thanks and regards.

      @@zapoi67 Yes, connect it to diagnostic tool and see which node on canbus network is missing. First do a proxy alignment, if that solves the issue you're good. If it keeps on blinking you need to address the component that's missing on canbus network. regards

      ​@@arcgarageThank you very much! Should I do it at an Alfa Romeo workshop, or any mechanics with a diagnostic tool can do it?
      And : the reset procedure shown in the video, could it solve the issue or is it useless?

    Window close and open feature with the key is only available on 2004, and 2005 cars. In 2006 they removed the closing feature due to child safety.

    Is not a big problem to make close windows via key avilable in lift models after 2006. You need to connect pins 2 with 3 and 7 with 8 in drivers door module by 1 Kohm resisstors, then connect PC with MES and there in "Body" just turn on this option and do proxy alignment procedure. That's all.

    On the matter of the windows, I would like to ask you, please: the one mine on the driver's side (left side, as your gt) window, when activated, automatically goes up to the top of the whole and then descends alone to a quarter of the total. I can only close it, uploading it with small touches, until it gets up. Nor now, it opens that little when you open the car (and closes when you close the door) or lower the window when you press the opening, as before. You have an idea of what I can do to get it back to normal (the trick you mentioned in the video, it didn't work for me). As always, thank you so much for your videos and for being there.
