It is very strange that only the speedometer doesn't work. Which year is your Grande Punto?
There are many people who have replaced the instrument panels of Grande Punto (I've also done it myself the same way as you - simple display to dot matrix display) and everything on the new display usually works correct without any additional programming.
There might be some functions which do not work and need PROXI to be activated, but the speedometer should work in all cases.
Also, it seems that the alignment did not finish successfully as your odometer is still blinking. Please send me a report (from the red Send Report button in Multiecuscan) after doing a PROXI alignment and I will check what went wrong.

Should be the speedometer "broken".... Can you try to test it with MES, on dashboard parameters? On my previous 147, after a service work the speedometer stop to work, while with the Examiner it was correctly moving.... there was a PIC in the dashboard that in same conditions have a reset and so the speedometer "expire".

I got the speedo meter working. The problem was that I had a panel from a 1.3 mjet in my 1.4 8v. I thought that it would work.

But still proxi doesnt work properly. I though that after the proxi alignment, the correct mileage would be written. But the proxi procedure just took the highest mileage (of the instrument panel). If I connect with mes to the motor section, the mileage says 68000. And if I connect with the instrument panel, the mileage says 95000. The instrument panel also shows 95000.

Yani can you please fix the proxi alignment in an update, so that it takes the right value. Did the proxi alignment went ok? The mileage isn't blinking, so how did it took the wrong mileage.

I do not think Yani can do anything about that with MES.
Mileage is stored in 2 different places in instrument panel and in engine ecu.
Both of them working separately.
What you need to do is change mileage in your dashboard and everything will work just fine.
