Hi I have an English '59 plate Relay van.

Just recently my Bluetooth with my phone has been playing up. It links each time I’m in the van, but then during a call and at random, a high frequency comes over the speakers. The only way to get this off is press the Main button in the centre console. If I hang up the call using the phone the sound...

Hi, I'm considering a Connects2 ( CD changer to 3.5mm headphone plug adapter. The Connects2 technical department states that it might be necessary to 'enable' the CD changer before the adapter works. Does anyone know if this is possible with the Lexia 3 - Peugeot Planet?
Thanks (as usual) - Alex.

So i have a 2009 Citroen c5 with a sat nav. I went somewhere to wash my car and the guys that cleaned it ruined my sat nav......there is a green line in the middle of it. Im thinking of replacing it with one of those ebay aftermarket sat nav units that have touchscreen and all those shenanigans. however im not sure if its just plug and play. Would...

Hi guys.

I wanted to upgrade my 2011 C5 tourer navigation system to a more recent one.
A know the latest C5 had a touchscreen system with mirror link and apple carplay (didn't find the model name).

Is it possible to install this system on my 2011 C5? If so, where can I purchase this system?

Thanks.

Hi Guys.

Just a quick question regarding original radio for Xantia. I bought car without radio and had a hope that I'll be able to fit original radio from my previous (two years older) Xantia. Unfortunately looks like top socket/plug is different and power is located on different pins on plug (radio reset itself every time when ignition if off)....

Hi All. I'm Burnie and new to this forum. I'm a mechanic (many years ago) and have bought a Citroen Relay Van 2012 with 50,000 miles which I'm converting into a campervan. I'm trying to find out if anyone can help me with a radio problem. The previous owner told me she had a new battery fitted and since then the radio hasn't worked. I had the...

After having had two of the original Philips radio units fail with old age, I decided to replace it, and now have a new Sony CDX-G1302 radio/singleCD unit, which looks good, and works fine.

Have been trying to interface it to use the existing steering wheel controls, and the following kit has been recommended and is listed as dedicated to Y4 XM,...

Hi is there a thread on how to update a ds5 65 plate please I get mine tomorrow morning Thanks

Ladies and gents, for all those who enjoy reading a picture book (step by step guide if you will), I've prepared a treat ... first, how to install a myway (RNEG) navigation in a car that previously only had just a regular radio unit (RD4) ... the other is replacing a myway navigation with the newer emyway (RT6) navigation ... no Citroen Service...

That's about right - just the same way as they have abandoned thousands and thousands of PSA owners who can no longer update their Navigations Systems which in my case was a £2k option almost! They have not commissioned HERE maps to make any more versions for half a doze systems now, so we are mostly all stuck with 2016 maps (which of course are a...

Hey guys, a little thought musing over in the noggin of late, using a standard head unit in the car to run a small install from,
Do any of the std psa head units have Pre-outs on?
Ta muchly in advance

Whats the part number or what do i need to typw in to bring up the genuine radio player for the S2 xantia hdi.

When i bought the car i was given a radio cd player out of a peugeot not sure what year or what car (see pic) it works with the steering controls but the outer cover is in the way so it does not sit priperly and the lid that covers the...

Hi I've got a dab radio but the dab function doesn't work I can see the option button but cannot select the button? I've been told I need a firmware update to get it sorted but at a cost of £150 can any one supply or show me where I can download the update? I've added a photo of radio model below

:? Hi My name is Gray and I live not far from the sea in Wirral UK.
I recently bought myself a really nice Citroen C4 Picasso and was very happy with it until a few weeks ago and I am hoping I can maybe find the answer to my problem on this site. I hope I'm not posting all this in the wrong place but I'm 63 and absolutely useless at using online...

Hello everyone I'm new around here, I'v been reading this topic trying to figure out a way to hook a power cable directly from the battery to an amplifier in the trunk, I couldn't find any hole behind the engine , i'm scared to try taking power from the fuse box inside the car...

Can someone help me ?

Thanks alot

Hi.

My wife's C3 has suddenly developed an issue and I wonder if anyone can help us please?

The sat nav has worked fine for years (- albeit with the daft Citroen policy on UK postcodes!)

Anyhow, the sat nav has suddenly stopped working and a msg on the screen requests that the 'media/card is inserted'. Of course, the sd card is inserted. We...

Can't check on SB at the moment to confirm the actual head unit. About 4 times over the last couple of months the CD (mp3) has stopped and gone to an egg timer and wouldn't eject. Did it again today, but didn't come back. Whipped the head unit out a little and there seems to be no power to the CD drive. The radio works fine. I think the CD has...

Hello, I have a C5 2.0 hdi Exclusive 2009.

I have managed to obtain a genuine Citroen bluetooth phone module and I assume that, like the Peugeot, it fits behind the glove box. If this is the case, could anybody tell me how to remove the glove box?

If the bluetooth module does not go behind the glove box, do you know where it is supposed to live...

I've bought an aftermarket stereo to fit to my lounge so I can have DAB and bluetooth. However it appears as my car has a Phillips sound system fitted the harness adapter won't work, the cause is because my car has an amplifier fitted?

Does anyone know if there is a way of by passing the amp or can it be wired to work another way?

Kind regards...

So first off just like to say hello to everyone.

As the title suggests is it possible to convert a Citroën xsara Picasso from single din to a double din?? Iv looked over the Internet but most people buy a converter panel and they charge like £200,
And if you ask me that's a bit over the top.

So I'm hoping someone has all ready had a go at this...

I have owned this car for 3 years. Each year the display (in the centre of the dashboard) has become more and more faded on hot days. This year the display has vanished, except on dull days or at night. Putting a reflective sheet inside the windscreen does not work - it is the hot inside of the car rather than direct Sunshine that is the problem....

Hi, hoping for some advice. My Citroen Dispatch van has the RD$ radio unit. Since I bought it second hand last week, the radio is completely unresponsive, no buttons do anything and it does not turn on,. The time on the multifunction display is flashing, & the date is 2007. Units are metric. The fuel economy readout, distance left in tank etc. are...

Has anyone on here any experience of retrofitting a SMEG+ IV2?

I'm looking at Android Auto options, so just trying to see exactly what work is needed to install a SMEG+IV2 to a car originally delivered with an RNEG unit. I know it's going to be pricey, but before I start hunting for parts I'm trying to get a feel for what is possible and whether...

Here we go then. About a month ago when I bought the car the screen worked fine. It was then parked up outside until I could get over to the UK to fetch it. Straight away the screen wasn't showing all the pixels, since then it seems to be almost perfect on a cold morning then over the next 10 minutes, more and more of the screen disappears until...

Investigating a horrible occasional audio buzz, I find my front left door speaker has a 2-3inch tear in the cone.

Any recommendations for decent budget replacements? I do, albeit very rarely visit the F.Loud side of the volume when the mood/music requires it.
Are the rears the same fitment too?

Thanks in advance

Did anyone had issues with the GPS antenna?!? It can be repaired or needs to be replaced? How do I take it off? It's difficult? Thanks for your help!
PS: my car is Citroen C5 MKIII Tourer.

Hi guys,
The good lady has her new car now, Partner xtr hdi '58 reg, is a brilliant wagon, very impressed, only upgrade I'd like to have would be an all in one nav unit, current unit is the standard rd4, looking through for the oem unit and screen is Very pricey, before looking at lexia/pug planet software and laptop to validate it all, So, nosing...

Hi
My Xantia was not in use for quite a period of time. last week I've started it again but the radio - Clarion model PU-2294B(D) is asking for the code. I've tried at a website www.radio-code.co.uk and was asked to punch in the radio's serial no. which is CL0402Y0338073 but was told that they can't provide Clarion's code.
can somebody tell me is...

I have a C4 Grand Picasso blueHDI 120 Selection model with 2016 (16) plates. SMEG currently on car is: SMEG5.4.B.R8 . CD26378 Date: 01-12-2015

My question (I've googled all over) is if I upgrade firmware to the latest build - what can I expect to gain? My car model has not SatNav. I would ideally love to have Android Auto, but I cannot get this...

After some advice please.

My car went in to a garage after the alternator failed. Everything else was working fine.

Picked it up with new alternator fitted and the CD/radio unit and sat nav screen are all dead. Which also means the parking sensors don't work either as they use the sat nav screen too.

Garage suggested a fuse. So I checked F8 in...

Hi guys. Does anyone know how to code C5 SMEG unit with standard speakers to work with original hifi with subwoofer?
I could replace RNEG in 2012 C5 to SMEG, but the only part of the configuration we don't know how to do is to enable the subwoofer. Thank you a lot!

Is it just a case of using the pins to remove the set and fit a replacement or, is there special way of sorting it? I want to fit a radio that has socket for mp3 player, will doing this affect the settings for the display, clock unit of measurement for speed etc?

Hi All,

I've recently purchased a Citroen C5 x7 Exclusive.
Unfortunately it doesn't come with Sat Nav or even Bluetooth, as it has the RD3 installed.

I'm therefore looking to add a Nexus 7 into the dashboard where the current multi function LCD is in place and under tray.
Ill move the LCD display to the bottom of the dash (Pointless penny...

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to add an aux-in to my RD3-01 (Clarion PU-2472B(J))radio on a '03 C5.

I enabled the changer with Lexia (BSI and multifunction display) and have a signal cable from green changer connector signal pins. There are references about adding a resistor between some pins to fool the head unit to think that there...

Thinking of getting a C4 for the misses around a 2007 model.

Will be looking a VTR, VTR+ or Cool model (rear elec windows wanted). What does the factory radio do? Play mp3 etc.

Is it easy to fit an aftermarket stereo if no mp3?

Thanks.

Hi I have a 07 plate relay 2.2 I have converted to a camper but the stereo has problems.

3. Traveling down the motorway it will pick up a local station for about 3 miles

I have changed the stereo with no joy
I have changed the Ariel no joy

Hi everyone,

long time lurker seeking some help.

I bought a used MK1 C5 this week. It's a clean 2.0Hdi 110 estate. However, the test drive didn't uncover some of the faults and to be honest, this one is on me. I didn't check the radio. It's not turning on.

I pulled it out this evening, everything looks connected. There's a 12v feed with a...

My 2007 '56' reg C4GP came with the DVD entertainment system, it works fine but the foam covers on the wireless headphones are shot. I wouldn't have thought for a moment that these covers are a Citroen replacement part (probably not even the complete headphone unit themselves, though it would seem a little over the top to have to replace these...

Hi there, I have a C5 Mk2 facelift 55 plate and have the connections under the seat for a cd changer, (Non installed) Would really like to have USB and or Bluetooth connectivity.

Is there an ISO plug that connects to give such functionality please? (Got about 2000 tunes on a stick for the long journeys to Spain each winter!)

Thanks in advance....

Seems that current Citroen and Peugeot mid spec models get android mirror screen and top spec get satnav as well - along with lots of baubles and a big price hike. My current experience with my C4 Picasso satnav persuades me that paying extra for a flawed satnav system is pointless, my phone does better, so when I am next changing car I won't be...

The radio in the car is working but beeping every couple of seconds. There's a new battery in the car. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need a new radio?

Much as I like the look of the original radio/cassette player in my late Series 1 Xantia, I'd like to be able to play CDs so I plan to fit an aftermarket DIN-sized radio/CD player. Fitting kits with the required console surround are easily found on eBay, but they state suitability for Series 2 Xantias and don't mention the Series 1. Is there...

Hi
I have a hands free mobile phone bt car kit in my vehicle. it has a wire that sends a command to mute the radio when a call is made. I would like to ask how do I connect it to the (original) radio that is installed in the vehicle and if you can provide the guidance how to dismantle the panel & radio (btw - is a code needed to operate the radio...

Radio on my C5 has never worked since I bought the car in June, the display shows it hunting for stations but it's completely silent, no hiss. CD player works, albeit a bit temperamentally. Is the problem likely to be in the aerial amplifier, or would it be hissing if that were the case?

If it ain't broke, but....

Previewing my radio and other configurations in Lexia has left me with a few unanswered questions though I have no problem that needs fixing, just wondering if there's anything I can improve or am missing out on. Feedback most welcome...

I have a 2012 C4 Grand Picasso fitted with the standard radio head. It works fine for awhile then goes into mute mode, Sometimes it will clear by pressing the mute button on the steering wheel or radio head. If that dosen't work then unplugging the unit and leaving it unplugged for a couple of days fixes it. No codes need to be entered as it's the...

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody here could help me, maybe you have some experience in this area.

My wife is insisting that I get her old Clio hooked up with a Bluetooth system so that she can listen to music from her phone wirelessly in the car.

I don't really want to rush into having it done at a garage just in case there is a cheaper...

I have a 2009 C5 and honestly the navigation is crappy, even thou I have the last update on maps, lots of roads are missing, it's pretty hard to input the destination, I would prefer a touch screen version with all the bells that default navigation is missing. Mine doesn't have Bluetooth media, or even a USB.

Right now apart from radio, cd,...

hi Guy's
what do you all clean your inbuilt sat nav screens with.My screen when off looks all smeary and I don't know what to do. Thanks Guy's.

Hi guys
A little problem with my sat nav on a 2014 Citroen Dispatch van. I put in a replacement but I now have no power to the sat nav unit I can only believe that the fuse has blown. Any ideas as to the fuse location and its number.

thanks in anticipation
