Improved feature for unsubscribing from email notifications

First post

As part of the work being done to improve the deliverability of emails, I have made some changes to the system for unsubscribing from email notifications.

These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

This is due to Microsoft having designated our server as being a junk mail source, apparently because some users have been moving our notification emails to their 'junk' folders.

Finally, after a month of sending repeated support requests to Microsoft, and spending quite a bit of time researching and rewriting some of the forum software to be more RFC compliant, we have been advised that Microsoft are no longer blocking our emails.

2014 Citroen Dispatch 2.0l HDI Radio wiring diagram

by mab2209 » Yesterday, 11:43

First post

Hi, can anyone help me with a radio wiring diagram for above vehicle in the title. I am retro fitting a combined FM/dab aerial that needs a sw feed which I guess I can use from the radio harness either the ignition sw or the power antenna out. Thank you in advance.

The head units in these vehicles tend to be of Fiat origin and aren't standard PSA units, so can't help you with a diagram I'm afraid.

You could’ve got an aftermarket solution, such as an independent hands-free Bluetooth unit. This would’ve left the head unit intact.

Ok so on your 2004 model, you have an RD3, a precursor to the RD4. You also have the slightly older multifunction screen.

So the current RD3 unit is controlled by the ECU in the multifunction screen, which authorises the power on and off of the unit and the supplies.

So if you want to fit an aftermarket radio in, you will need to get a special...

Hopefully it was just a disc that wasn't recognised, but I would have expected it to spin up, I'll give the laser a clean also with a bit of alcool, and try to find some 'puter screws that will hold the drive in...

Citroen c5 2009, Fitting genuine bluetooth module

by JayOh » 08 Sep 2018, 15:37

First post

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...

You may want to read this thread:

I originally had the RD4 but upgraded it to the RD45 in order to get hands free connectivity. I had to run my own wire to the microphone from the back of the radio as I couldn't trace the terminus of the pre-installed wiring.

C4 Picasso lounge stereo swap

by talbotsteve » 28 Aug 2018, 19:06

First post

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...

Last post

You also have an independent telematic unit fitted to the vehicle too so the BSI is coded for that option.

If you do enquire with Citroen, ask them if the RD45 unit (which they should know has built-in Bluetooth Audio Streaming and Bluetooth Hands Free phone support) is compatible with the vehicle if you were to source one. Tell them you...

Single din to double din

by Jmh474 » 25 Aug 2018, 23:47

First post

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...

Last post

I'm confident with the wiring as I'm a sparky by trade so not too worried about that Iv got all tester and that it's just getting the double din to fit and not looking ugly.

I'm now trying to find if there is a double din surround to angle the head unit up so it easier to use and see.

Citroen Dispatch radio - BSI reset?

by Andygosmore » 09 Jul 2018, 16:58

First post

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...

Last post

Hi (Andy?) and welcome.

You probably have the standard RD4 Head Unit. My first thoughts are that the previous owner may well have had a third party unit installed and possibly may have put the original unit back in before selling it on.

I would first double check the wiring harness at the back of the unit is full and properly connected (always...

RNEG to RT6 to SMEG+ IV2?

by biohead » 09 Jul 2018, 10:46

First post

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...

Last post

As far as I am aware the SMEG +IV2 will work with a C5 X7 (which uses CAN2004) architecture as the later X7 had touchscreen units available about 2015/16.

Apart from the new fascia (due to removal of physical switches) for some controls and the hardware, you are going to have to pay a sympathetic dealer to configure it and there is a likelyhood...

Yes the bluetooth unit requires a chip as well as software and needs the more advanced screen.

Front door speaker blown

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.

Everyone is looking for the costs, so in the end, this was the cheaper solution, in my case.
I didn't put the other service companies details, as it were already in the post. It's good to put them together. Maybe others have realatives in those countries and they can sort it out there. It's good to have more options.
Cheers!

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.

If you remove the radio you may well find the code written on it somewhere - daft but not unknown.

Thanks for the thoughful replies.

I have a 2016 - 16 march not a 66 plate, so I guess it's the same 'old' one that cannot be enabled.

2008 C5 X7 screen and CD unit not working

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...

Last post

Panic over. Pulling the fuse to check it has reset the unit.
Everything is back on now.

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?

If you'd use bluetooth -adaptor (Yatour for example), then you can control playback (prev/next) on Nexus with radio / steering wheel controls.

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.

Brilliant.

Thanks Mark and EDC5
