RD45 - Display and Microphone Pinouts?

As in the other thread, I've found the Type C display is complaining about a lack of permanent live, and I still have a microphone to wire in - as predicted, using the existing wiring is more of a pain than just making a new loom.

With that in mind,

I have RD45 in my C5, working fine with BT, but the one thing that driving me crazy is that every single time I need to change the source to Bluetooth, because it starts with FM radio.

I'm aware that this might be awful design (I had 2x Renaults before C5 and headunit always stayed on the last used). Is there any way to change this?...

I think I've got the cause of this one - the display is...

Single antenna (White) is working just fine now, it just doesn't receive as well as the RD4 (dual antenna) does.
On another note, I can maybe put to bed the rumour that an RD45 needs an EMF-C with a v72 firmware.
Mine (from a scrap 2013 C3 Picasso, not China) is working fine on a v71.3 EMF-C from a 2009 308.

I found a cheap rd45 for sale locally and decided to try my luck with it. After some trial and error I managed to get it working (besides missing microphone).

If anyone is interested after getting the rd45 settings as close to the previous rd4 ones as possible all I had to do is enable the hands free kit option in the rd45, instrument cluster and...

Berlingo display screen

by Baldythin » 16 Mar 2023, 08:47

First post

Hi , I've got a 2010 berlingo 1.6 xtr and was wanting to upgrade the small display screen above the radio . It is a red rd4 screen and was wanting a rd45, TYPE 4 or C (?) ,display screen as I am going to fit an android head unit. The makers say that the rd4 screen is not compatible with the unit but will work with rd45 .

Any foreseeable snags...

Last post

That is my understanding. The RD4 and associated MFD screen is not just an audio unit, they are linked to the vehicles systems overall, so will display faults, all change of time, date, temperature display, and as I said can also configure vehicle options like rear wipe in reverse gear, and other equipment / options fitted.

We don't support...

Hello everyone!

Recently I've ordered an RD45 from aliexpress for my Peugeot 207 SW (2013), but I'm unable to use the bluetooth function, because the multifunction display doesn't show the hands-free / telephone menu. So I was about to order a Diagbox to set it up, but I've read on the forums that the MFD software also has to be higher than V70...

C5 X7 RD4 to RD45 upgrade screen question.

by citroC5 » 08 Mar 2023, 17:12

First post

Hello. I did the upgrade in one of the threads you linked. My research at the time told me that the screen HAD to be changed too, otherwise it wouldn't work. I'd like to link where I got that info from but it was a long time ago

I just checked and mine is a 72.01 (which is compatible). I will correct the post above.

Bluetooth - 2-in / 1 out ? OR

Does anyone know of a 'Gadget' that will pair with two Bluetooth devices with one?
I want to connect my Phone and also a Music player to my RD45
Or is there another way Aux input?
Thanks

Last post

Yes that's correct Stu. There are various types of units that work this way, but functionality is still limited to the Head Unit, which can only mimic a CD Changer, AUX or the FM channel. You may have to use a separate remote to control the FM device, depending in functionality.

Hello
I have recently bought a 62 plate C4 Picasso which I am quite enjoying in a relaxing way!

While it is much newer and higher spec than any car I've ever owned before, there is a glaring omission - the stereo doesn't do bluetooth and I'd like to play music and make phonecalls.

The stereo in it is, I believe, an RD4. Comme ca:

The wiring may be present for a retrofit (it was on our 308), but Marc is correct on the need to reprogram and the need to fit a microphone.

Hi
on my c5 x7 the multifunction display has a problem. there is a bright spot on the middle of it and the info is (very) hardly visible. since I have the mfd from my previous c5 mkii, I would like to know if it's compatible with the one fitted in the x7? pic of the faulty mfd attached.

Thanx.

Last post

It wouldn't work. To do that you would need to purchase the EMF-C screen with compatible software level and it would also need configuring for the vehicle. Apart from the screen the RD45 would also need VIN coding and configuring too. You may need to check harness compatibility too.

It would help first if you told us what make and model of bluetooth adapter you have bought. Most bluetooth adapters use bluetooth to pick up the transmission from the phone and then re-transmit via a spare FM frequency to your head unit's radio receiver for playback over the speakers.

All the bluetooth adapters I can see on Halfords use FM...

Last post

Upgrading to an RD45 will very likely require you to wire in a separate microphone as the factory-fitted one is integrated into the vehicle harness and may not be available at the output end.

The RD45 may have different functionality depending on country / build / vehicle. You may also need to replace your multifunction screen if you currently...

2011 3008 add USB or Bluetooth?

by tomjyoutwit » 03 Oct 2022, 13:22

First post

Afternoon all,

Family member has a basic spec 3008 and the little barrel plug under the arm rear only has a 3.5mm AUX.

If I bought the barrel with a USB as well I presume it would work once programmed with Lexia?

My follow up question is how difficult would Bluetooth be to add to the RD4?

Thanks

Last post

What about this Tom: It seems to do Bluetooth calls, streaming, and plays MP3s from flash cards etc. and has a built in microphone, so no messy wires and cables.

Got to be worth a punt at £13.79! There are 17k reviews on Amazon with a 4.5 star rating.

Bluetooth for RCZ with RD4

by randomandy » 03 Oct 2022, 15:13

First post

Hello,

We have just purchased a Peugeot RCZ (1.6 GT) that is fitted with the RD4 head unit. We have been given different information from several sources as to whether it supports Bluetooth for audio streaming and hands free phone calls.

As far as I can see, the RD4 doesn't support them and that we need an external unit that plugs into the back...

Last post

1) The RD4 natively does not support Bluetooth.
2) Early vehicles with RD4 could be specified with an additional option of the Hands Free Kit, that interfaces to the RD4, which handles the Bluetooth calls / streaming and passes this data onto the RD4.
3) Later Vehicles were fitted with the RD45. which did away with the hands free module, as the...

The RD45 from what i can remember has SW...

You should be able wire in any sort of small microphone designed for vehicles.
The volume settings will be accessed from the BSI configuration within the parking assistance ECU, but be very careful what you change - settings in here are often not to do with what you assume they are and have different meanings on different vehicles.
