Forum server settings changed

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...

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.

Thanks in advance....

I've not heard back from you so assume you have it sorted - there is no native bluetooth supported system on the MK II, without a third party unit like a Yatour or similar - but this has basic functionality, track info, titles or anything - just track numbers listed like a CD changer would.

Great, thanks... it would be nice to keep the steering wheel controls but not vital. I was wondering about the physical fitting of the radio into the dashboard, though. Is the shape of the dashboard around the radio exactly the same between S1 and S2, so a fitting kit intended for an S2 will work with my S1?

Radio options for my 2007 MK2 C5 exclusive

by falling-out-with-my-car » 15 Feb 2017, 14:27

First post

Hello,

well ive only had the car since December and I'm bored with the radio. :roll:

it would be so much nicer with DAB, maybe the odd usb input socket
and definitely the addition of Bluetooth for hands free phone calls without all the
birds nest of wiring of external equipment cluttering up the dash and centre consul. 8-[

can anyone...

I've answered your other question in the other thread Nigel. :-D

CD player only works when the engines not running!

by Garysz » 20 Apr 2006, 18:26

First post

Has any one come across this and is there a solution?

Single factory fit CD player in Xreg Xantia.

Engine not running, insert CD and it plays. Start the engine and it stops - display shows time when it stopped, radio works fine. Engine running, insert CD, searches for first track but does not find it, gives up and spits CD out!

I guess that...

Last post

You haven't happened to buy the same car, exported to Portugal by any chance have you? does seem a very unlikely/uncommon fault and both recorded incidences are in Xantiae... Is your car right hand drive? Perhaps the paperwork would show if/when it was imported?

Otherwise, all I can offer is either try all the cleaning/checking of proper wiring...

Upgrading Navigation/Audio Player (Citroen C5 2009)

by TodiCroitor » 29 Dec 2016, 20:12

First post

Hi,
On my old car () I had fitted an Pioneer's AppRadio and I was very happy with that: touch screen and stuff. What are the possibilities upgrading my current R-neg (i think) navigation? I am not looking necessarily for an after market solution but maybe something from the newer car models.
In time I plan to do some upgrades to my car including...

You need to be aware that there are various revisions of the same audio systems RD4 for example that support different functions. Same for the camera, it wont qork just plugging it in without the right unit. Also with the parking sensors, you need to have the right ECU, as there are several types that support the rear front / rear/ camera modes...

Radio Codes

First post

Hello one and all,

having recently purchased a second hand 2003 C5 estate, and also having read a lot of comments about changing headlamp bulbs I am a little concerned about doing this even with a Haines Manual to assist. Mostly because advice given is to dis-connect the battery. I am reluctant to do this as I can find no reference to any radio...

Last post

Battery disconnection/re-connection procedure .

The service intervals are rather generous and do depend on the way the car is used.
Most of us reduce the time/distance by about ⅓.

My former 2010 one had a RNEG system, also known as myway ( not the same as e-myway which might have come to the very last batch). It was a VTR+Nav, I think only the Exclusives had RT4s with the disc drive and 3D maps.

Not quite - the Navidrive 3D is was a expensive cost option - Part of the Navidrive / Concert Pack and not standard spec. From...

Reversing Camera

by renagade » 30 Sep 2016, 08:32

First post

On my x7 I have fitted a reversing camera to go with my audible sensors (that I fitted myself) but was wondering now that I may get another x7 with the sat nav in do you think it would be poss. to fit another reversing camera and wire it into the sat nav screen,I do find the camera very useful.

Last post

Unless you are getting a Tourer with the camera fitted, you might want to consider something like this that Ace did on his:

The Head Units may have a problem accepting the camera input as they may not have the right hardware internally to support a camera. There were a few hardware revisions and not all of these support the cameras.

A few have...

'09 C5 stereo question.

by milleplod » 19 Sep 2016, 16:02

First post

My previous 2 cars had cracking hifi systems - a Lexus with Mark Levinson setup and a Mercedes with HK - both a bit wasted on me though tbh, I listen to a bit of Radio 2 or 4, and that's it. However, I've noticed that, although I can hear the tunes well enough in the C5, when it comes to speech its a different matter. It sounds quite muffled,...

Last post

I would replace front speakers, maybe damp the doors a bit when they're opened for speaker upgrade, and install an external amplifier to drive those less efficient after market speakers properly. Nowadays there's some good amps that can be installed plug and play behind head unit, so you don't have to do any new wiring for that. Check Isotec...

Ok - Here's another site that is UK based offering a similar system for the C5 - Never used them as I have the NG4 Navidrive 3d already in my X7 - but I would suggest you speak to the guy regarding their Head Unit and will it allow you to access the car menus / settings / configuration that is currently controlled by the exiting Head Unit. :-D Not...

Hi Kenny.. you have a dab unit in your x7? Tell me more ;) I spend a lot of time on 5 Live 5 sport extra and radio 6 ;)
I don't believe any of the C5s have DAB radios - even the emyway fitted to the 2015 C5 doesn't. They are available as an Ezi-DAB and AutoDAB link below, but not available for Navidrive 3D owners. They have also been known to...

Well, I'm not sure what kind of answer you'd expect ... I don't have any figures about the rarity of the navigation units that are compatible with the C5 X7s ... usually everything that appears 2nd hand, from vehicles broken-for-parts gets sold, it's just a matter of time ... I was waiting for mine for about a year, and I really got lucky ... I'd...

Has anyone here changed cd-player on new C5? It seems that original cd-player is exactly 1-din size, am I right? Does one need to tell car that player has changed with Lexia, or is it just plug and play? I´ve just ordered Kenwood Kdc-bt92sd and Kenwood´s stalk adaptors. Waiting to get them and it would be nice to know wether Lexia is needed or...

Has anyone replaced their radio/cd unit for something else?
If so what was it and was it a straight/easy swap?
Mine is the type with the single slot loading CD on. (No Nav unit!)
Do these units have Bluetooth integration on them as standard?

My current unit needs to go in the bin .. can not put up with the terrible sound quality much longer!...

Has any company made a box to allow wheel controls to be maintained with an after market radio yet ?....I keep looking :)

I've got this kind of antenna adaptor because my X7 has got dual antenna:

Don't recall for sure whether those fakra connectors are joint or not. I think they might be separate... Stock HU might be with single antenna also, so you should check it before ordering anything.
