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

Single din to double din

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.

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 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...

No worries Bob, there's such a lot of kit packed under there, I suspect it is easy for the steering wheel boss cover to get a bit stuck occasionally - especially with the contracting and expanding due to the heat / cold. Glad it's sorted.

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...

am I losing something changing my current navigation with a Pioneer solution?h

by TodiCroitor » 24 Sep 2017, 14:03

First post

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,...

A complete solution is a head unit by Joying. A suggested one, is an 8inch, 2Gb RAM, 32Gb ROM, quad-core Android 6, head unit, that fits at C5 2009 onwards.

The head unit has GPS, Bluetooth 4, built-in WiFi, PiP function, phone mirroring and much more. Also, has an app to map the steering wheel's controls with the unit....

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

Last post

Thanks for your time and effort. Everything else still works perfectly the hands free, radio etc. so your advice is probably sound. Cheers

Hi,

i can't enter distance to destination by pressing menu, there are just 2 options Alert log and Status of function
Distance to dest. is missing. What i do wrong?

The exact display will differ with the type of Head Unit you have, but will be similar to this:

Here you can see there is 9 KM left to the destination and the time of arrival is 13:57 (estimated, based on average speed), 59 Metres above sea level and the outside temperature as an example.

RD4 to RT6 retroffit in 3008

by osiema » 24 Jun 2017, 09:50

First post

Hello everybody!
I've just want to replace my old radio ( RD4) to RT6 (RNEG2) with big display DG4.
Can anybody tell me how to connect the display? There is brown 12 pin connector and i don't have wires but only connector and pins.
Please for help or maybe diagram :D

Grateful for clues and tips

Last post

Post script to previous reply re' upgrade RD4 to RT6.

If the Quadlock radio connector in your vehicle has section 'A' part of the connector (larger pins) blanked off with blue plastic inserts, these will need to be removed to accommodate the section 'A' pins of the RD4 to RT6 adapter. In my 2012 Peugeot 3008, having the adapter connecting to...

Hello,

I recently bought a Citroen C5 III from 2010. It has the radio from the attached image. I think it's the lowest variant because I don't have even the AUX-IN option.

I'm interested to find out how to install a 2 DIN aftermarket stereo (like one from Kenwood that has Android Auto). Has anyone did this? Do you know of any tutorial online or...

Yatour bluetooth receiver works as music streamer and handsfree. It is connected to cd-changer port and you can change tracks from steering wheel. It costs around 70€.

So I just got my new multi function light stalk replaced as the signal stalk was way too loose.

Hello

Any ideas?

Last post

Hi Amir and welcome to the Forum. There could be 3 possibilities I can think of at present:
1) The graphics chip in the Head Unit / the Head unit itself.
2) A damaged wire between the Display unit and the Head Unit (they are extremely fragile).

I assume you replaced the Display screen with the exact correct model, as there were 2 variants, but...

Does anyone have one of these fitted ? I installed a cheapo ebay one, the type that emulate the CD changer which I installed today with USB & SD card input. This is on an RNEG unit. It doesent display artist,album or track name info & will only show a maximum of 6 album folders (must think its a 6 disc changer), the tracks can be adjusted ok with...

Last post

No because the RNEG system is only designed to see that connection as a CD Changer - hence the 6 Disc / Albums / Folders allowed as you've stated. The RT6 and NG4 have Hard Discs so have the jukebox facility, with the NG4 also having USB and SD Card for media too. RNEG uses different protocols and hence why a lot of people have upgraded it to the...
