Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

Last post

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

DS4 Smeg iv2 - Enable Notifications

by GymMadPaul » 04 Jun 2022, 18:21

First post

Hello all new to the forum

I have a DS4 Crossback 2016 with smeg iv2 (SMEG6.4.A.R10) factory installed and want to enable notifications like the ones in the link if possible:

Can this be done via diagbox at all? Or can anyone local to Stoke or Manchester enable for me will pay :)

Many thanks

Paul

Last post

Hi Paul, no worries. That would be my advice as Peugeot and Citroen for example output data to different displays via different ECUs. Switching the output can cause problems with the data streams. It can cause problems with the different matrix dash displays and the instrument cluster too.

Hi
I have just bought an Expert tepee with a factory mounted RT5 unit mounted. I want to get the RNEG2 unit installed, and I can easily find a RNEG2unit and screen that fits.
What do I need to do the swap.
Can someone help me confirm...
New harness or adaptor needed?
Do I need a new cable for the high res screen?
Will existing gps antenna and...

So you basically need the RT6 (RNEG2) head unit with its high resolution screen (the one from RT5 won't work, but LVDS calbe is the same).
All the vires at the back are the same so no messing with wire harness, either.
The only thing is that the RNEG2 screen is slightly taller. It deos fit in nicelly as the outer dimensions are the same, just the...

Can fitting non-Citroen radio screw ECU or BSI

by captainkephart » 27 Oct 2021, 14:28

First post

Hi All,

I think I know the answer to this question #-o BUT!

What's the correct procedure for fitting a non-Citroen radio in place of the one originally provided?

I'm assuming: disconnect the battery, lift out the old one, attach connector adaptors to the new radio (if necessary), fit into the slot, reconnect the battery.

I know that the radio...

Great thanks for the clarifications.
Sorry, being too fussy maybe asked such details ...

Seen this guy on Peugeot forum talking about receiving notifications for incoming SMS and e-mails on his NAC Wave2 in P308.

There you go! Nice one. As for email, it may have something to do with the default mail app.

I haven’t got any ‘Mail’ app accounts set up as I use Outlook. I know IOS doesn’t read email from outlook or notifications via Siri if you don’t use the IOS Mail app.

I find Outlook has more features and Apple haven’t bothered doing anything with the...

Is my DS3 upgradable to enable CarPlay?

by AgainstGreaterOdds » 15 May 2021, 09:39

Hi,

I’ve been doing some digging to see if my car can have the centre console software upgraded to enable CarPlay.

It is a DS3 1.2 Chic from mid 2016 (I believe it was manufactured in the summer and registered in December).

This is the current software running on it:

System version: SMEG6.1.D.R19
CD: 30489
Dated: 23-11-15

When I bought my DS5 (from June 2015) it had factory fitted SMEG+IV2 on 6.1.20 firmware. No CarPlay at the time.
I upgraded it to the latest 6.4.10 firmware and CarPlay icon apeared on the screen (instead of Internet browser) but had to see the dealer for activating the function (10 minutes job).
Was a great improvement and gave another level of...

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?

Haha. Well the first was definitely too early. No wonder the program couldn't find any ECUs - they weren't invented back then.

The second was only a couple of years out, soooo - close enough!

You don't need to worry about any further firmware updates. The systems manufactured by Magneti Marelli (RT6/eMyWay and all the SMEG variations) are no longer fitted to PSA vehicles and are therefore not supported by Magneti Marelli for firmware upgrades.

Nope it’s both right speakers. Makes me think there’s either some issue with the radio’s contact or the cable/cablecube itself

Hi

The reason is the DB V9.** is pretty much useless for anything other than reading codes. You should of stuck to DB V7.58 or 7.62 Max as these versions retain the ability to configure ECUs. DB 9. is pretty much PSA server-only for ECU configuration.

You have a 2013 vehicle, so DB 7 covers vehicles to at least 2015 - more than enough for your...

Citroen DS5 SatNav screen

by KentCitroen » 06 Jul 2021, 19:30

First post

Have a 2013 Citroen DS5 and the satnav screen has gone crazy.
All of a sudden the screen either doesn’t come on or I get half a screen working (left hand side). The radio works fine but if the screen is blank you cannot change digital Chanel.
Does anyone have a clue? Citroen have said they can run a diagnostic for £125 but even they had no idea

Last post

Diagnostics are usually about £60! So unless they are anticipating over an hour, I'd pull them on that one.....

Your issue may be either a loose wiring connection or plug from the Head Unit to the multifunction display or it may be that the display is on the way out, or the Head unit itself.

There are tests that they can run, which involve going...

Afternoon! Just joined the forum, and have recently bought a lovely Citroen C5 HDi 2005 (Facelift version)

Since picking it up, I’ve noticed that the radio occasionally likes to try and change the source to CD, then it changes back to Radio after a few seconds… (as there’s no CD in it!) it doesn’t happen all the time but it’s a bit annoying…...

Last post

I’ve double checked but there’s no CD in there. It’s just random how it tries to select it… maybe the switch or sensor in the actual radio is playing up or could be dirty?

My newly acquired C5 X7 has presented me with a bit of a puzzle. As per Citroen's usual satnav non conformity to postcode input, I have a Garmin Nuvi 2569 that I used on a previous motor that I tried to work from this week. The only USB port that I can find in the car is in the centre console which I had a usb stick plugged into with my music...

Last post

I am also unsure what system we're talking about here but on the two systems in our household cars (eMyWay/RT6 and SMEG+) I seem to recall that (at least ) one of the systems needed a firmware update in order to accept full postcodes.

Not that I've used either of the satnavs as anything more than a glorified atlas!

Hi there,
I’ve got a problem with my DS3 screen but only inside Apple CarPlay which leads me to think it is a software issue. I got it diagnosed by Arnold Clark but I don’t trust it very much at this point as they said the unit was damaged... how, if it works fine for everything else (apart from sensors, of course...)? They said 700 for...

It may be the newer IOS software that could be causing the screen size issue - with the older SMEG systems that used smaller screens than the later units. It's really difficult to pin point the issue given the hardware and software of the Head Unit in the car and Apple's Software that is constantly being updated.

Did someone have similar problems?

Any ideas of the cause,is this a sign its on its way out? or known issue?

I assume this is the large touchscreen in the middle of the dash. If so, it really needs a diagnostic to determine the issue. It may be the screen or the main unit inside the dash.

These units are not cheap - about £800 for the screen alone and another £920 for the telematic unit in the dash, so best to be sure what the problem is. There are a...

What vehicle are you talking about here?

Regardless, the first thing you need to do is get the car read for error codes. Ideally a Diagbox or high-end generic code reader should be used. There is a list of FCF members who have Diagboxes (also known as Lexias) who are willing to read other members' cars here
