Started to happen on my car around 85,000...when I had my fiat at the studio for a repair I was told the software update to fix it is only good until 80,000...I chose not to pay the dealership any more of my $ and am thinking of just putting electrical tape over it until my next deductible is taken for a future repair that is covered under my extended warranty.
What does a blinking odometer mean, if anything?

I think I’m having the same issue — and that it is the module. Fiat has not been able to provide a replacement module in over 5 months. Do you have any additional info on this? Did you simply have the radio module changed?
Not sure if you’re still on this site, but would appreciate hearing from you if you receive my reply. Thanks

So I know this is a common problem after jump starting or battery change , it’s a fuseable link that needs to be replaced, one or two

I had to do this twice, but it worked! My mileage was at 126,195. This is the first time this has ever happened. My Fiona is a 2015 Pop.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing ~ hope this can help many others too.
I tried this several times, but it did not fix the problem. My Blue & Me system doesn't work either. I'll try disconnecting the negative terminal as others suggested and hope that fixes it.

Mother comes home. Odometer blinking! Oh my God! What to do!!?? I read about disconnecting negative battery terminal. Go turn on ignition with it disconnected to drain remaining electrical charges. Turn off ignition. Reconnect negative battery terminal. Turn on ignition. Odometer no longer blinking. Says I to mom...."I'll send you the bill." (Dealer wanted 300 just to look at it.) Don't know if this will fix in the long term but she's old. How much time could be left..... 
Had this problem spontaneously appear on my 2013 500e today. I turned off the car, waited for the contactor thunk, then disconnected the negative terminal of the 12V battery and reattached. The clock got reset too, but the odometer stopped flashing and Blu&Me started working again.

Hi Ed, what 15 Amp fuses are you referring to? I have a 2015 Fiat 500, North American model. There is no fuse box in in the glovebox.

Bought a fiat 500 few weeks ago with flashing odometer and non functioning Bluetooth. Tried disconnecting battery, but did not work. Replaced the blue&me module under the glove box with one from junk yard, blue tooth and USB work now but flashing odometer remains. Old module was hot/warm when removed (two three hours after engine shut off) hence the source of battery drain is found.

Hello, I just went through this same issue last week and fixed it. You have to do a Proxy Alignment to get the Body Control Module (BCM) aligned with the various components of the car, such as the Blue and Me module, so that the odometer stops flashing.
The proxy alignment was easy, and took a few minutes once I had the equipment and app.
Here is the thread

Trusted source for "Yellow" OBD adapter?
Can someone PLEASE recommend a trusted, reliable U.S. source for the "Yellow OBD Adapter" our cars require? Many of the adapters I see for sale on Amazon and elsewhere have VERY poor reviews, including reports of adapters that are wired wrong and some that don't work at all. Prices vary a lot...

Did you solve the problem?
I know this is very old but just had same problem with same model of car. I’m in Australia and dealer just said swapping out the blue and me for a new one would be $1250 😭
Going to try this later today. Its comes up first in the list of easy fixes when you search for the issue on Google. Essentially, a battery reset before proceeding to more costlier options.
Fckin genius!!!! Thank you !!!
