Hi all. Finally got my 458 spider delivered. What a machine!!! I seen a YouTube vlog (can’t remember who) saying when you go to media it has radio, hdd and cd. You can use the usb to connect an iPhone or iPod. At the moment when I connect my phone it doesn’t bring up option for storage device. I can remember in the vlog the person saying something about switching the car off and connecting phone and then starting and then the third option comes up. I think. Can anyone help with proper instructions please? Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Enjoy the car but there are multiple threads covering this including a fantastic dedicated one about 458 sound system instructions https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/458-infotainment-manual.561656/#post-145627579
Thank you for your help I’ll be on the hunt for that thread later. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app

Thanks to everyone for their help. The colour and finishing is superb. Originally when I got the car the original paint polish had swirls and micro scratches but a full detail took care of that and then i had the car wrapped all over with an amazing self healing film to protect from stone chips, micro scratches, etc. The pictures don’t do it justice but the finish is crazy. A big thank you to Paint Shield in Peterborough that handled collection of car, detailing, window tinting and applying the protective film. They made the whole experience totally hassle free.

Solid choice. I just drove a similar one (first time trying a spider). Incredible sound even comparing to the coupe. Tempted to get but waiting for the right blue one. Enjoy in good health! Sent from my SM-N920V using FerrariChat.com mobile app
@viper. Thanks bud for kind words. Where you from and what blue you looking for and I’ll keep an eye out for you as well Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Ohio, USA. Looking for TDF, Abu Dhabi, electrico, NART blue over beige/tan interior. Lift and standard seats. Clean and documented history. The market is a bit tough especially if you are picky. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
hey man, no association with this car, but have you seen this one: https://www.ferrarili.com/2014-ferrari-458-spider-c-22762.htm#details-6
Beautiful car. Congrats! You need a Bovee 1000 to stream bluetooth music from your phone. It is a small adapter that plugs into the ipod cable in your glove box. Once you do that and pair your phone, the 3rd option should appear.
Thanks for advice Evo. I did enquire with Ferrari today about upgrading the whole info system. The Nav, Bluetooth, etc just all gets revamped. They said that was £3500 but the display just looks really fresh. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Be careful about that. See recent posts about the infotainment system upgrade... it was a disaster for one of the other F-chat members because the upgraded system works through an FM transponder... I have the bovee and it works awesome with my iphone 11 pro max.
Glad you mentioned that. The technician I was speaking to also said there was small teething problems but more to do with the DAB radio. Looks like it’s the Bovee option then !! With the Bovee do you get a list of songs on the VDU screen as well or do you have to keep looking at phone? Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Great. Will try this weekend. Thank you for your help Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
