Fiat 500 TFT Conversion Setup

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth
Replaced Head unit with pioneer double din
Replaced Instrument cluster with tft from 2017 pop

I performed the mileage adjustment no problems. Got the time and date set using the software. Set the display up for a 500T because I've read that many functions don't work like gforce cause the car doesn't have the bcm/sensors, so obviously that kinda stuff won't work. As I go through settings though, I have a couple questions I'm hoping people can help me out with.

Can I set the tpms monitors to PSI again, it defaulted to kPa?

Is there a setting for the boost gauge on MSE? It didn't seem to work when I set byte 65 to the abarth or turbo settings. It may be because I set the shift up setting off?

Are my menu settings using the in car display limited because the fiats that came with the tft's used the center uconnect console for most settings?

I hope you find some help... I have some similar issues. I have a 2013 Abarth and bought a 2018 TFT display, when I first plugged in the display was Abarth with milage flashing and in km. Here are my issues so far:
problem 1: I ran proxy alignment with settings in miles. the alignment was successful " no flashing milage" but it was still in km and at some point I'm not sure when, but my turbo boost gauge deactivated.
Problem 2:
The display went back to POP version I changed byte 65 to 60 and re-ran proxy alignment it changed to a sport display. I then tried 00, 20, 40, 60 and can get it to switch between sport and pop modes but no Abarth
Problem 3:
My TPMS light is on even though there is no code, and the system checks out, with plenty of air in the tires. For now, I just set it to not present to remove the light.
Problem 4:
I have very few menu options using the buttons, and no way to set time and date
Problem 5:
Eco meter on the display is dead no movement
Problem 6:
Seeming no way to change km to miles

my settings as of right now:

31 33 31 36 34 37 35 33 32 30 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 30 20 13 03 06 6F 80 00 04 01 00 00 00 29 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 81 D0 4F 06 F4 40 01 71 AA 15 00 67 00 09 00 94 03 00 02 00 01 80 00 60 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 27 00 00 00 00 31 06 B1 01 00 00 68

Only thing I can help you with is that time and date had to be set using the ecuscan software, I can't recall exactly where the setting was, but I set mine there.

My boost gauge also went dark, possibly because I changed a setting that mentioned the shift indicator, I don't mind it being off, since the abarth boost readout on the right side of the sport mode setting works well enough for me. When I get some time I'll probably play with the settings a little more, maybe turn on the shift indicator setting again wherever that was to see if that turns on the boost gauge again. It's the only setting I can think of that is related to sport mode, boost gauge lights, or the shift up light, which according to other posts the new tft illuminates when sport mode is on.

I'd say double check that you selected the right tft on the ecu software, I remember seeing more than one option and I assume picking the wrong one could cause some odd issues.

The simulated mode is super useful for searching for settings without having to wait for connections each time, or being in the car, just my 2 cents.
