Hi,

I have a 08 407SW V6 Petro with the factory Nav unit. I would like to downgrade to the factory Navigation unit to the non-Nav system. I have seen older post with a PPT that people back many years ago upgrade the non-nav to the nav unit. I understand that it is quite a bit of work, but if anyone knows the parts I exactly need and if I can get...

Hello, I'm installing an aftermarket radio in my Citroen Relay, and am trying to connect it to the van's interface. I'm hoping to maintain the steering wheel connections. I've sussed out the majority of the power cables from this wiki page , however, this doesn't include all the cables going into my old radio. It has two antenna cables and a mini...

But still having the same problem, not good when travelling to London and sat-nav, radio and Bluetooth connected to my phone keeps rebooting. I have no idea what the problem is bad...

Hi,

Going to change the stereo in my C5.
looking around for the top dash panel form a nav equipped car. Emailed a few folks breaking cars but no real joy and the only one on Ebay is £150 :shock:
Are these rare parts that are commanding this sort of price?

Hi iv just got my Peugeot 508 iv updated the maps from Peugeot site but I cant find any speed cameras anyone help please Thanks

My infotainment system is cutting out every 3 minutes and immediately resetting itself. Doesn’t happen all the time, but also doesn’t appear to be related to speed, whether stationary etc. I bought the car from a dealer in Chesterfield - their Nottingham branch charged me £108 to tell me it needed a software update which they couldn’t do. I know a...

I live in France & today my lhd 1999 (2000 model) Roland Garros spec 806 failed it's 2 yearly CT (French MOT) because the kilometrage could not be read. The little screen along with the other little average consumption etc screen have been illegible for years now but apparently the latest rules fail a car which cannot show how many Km's it's...

Hi all, first post for me.

Bought myself a relay 2016 for work last year, absolutely love it, although I have one ongoing issue.
When selecting which frequency am/fm/dab... I couldn’t select dab. After investigation I was told to take it to my local dealer for a software update. Phoned said dealer but they wanted the van all day to do it and...

Hello, I want to change mine citroen C5 2010 small screen to multimedia but do i need some additional cables or connections which connects to multimedia or no?

Has anyone had a sat nav location issue, my wife's 208 lost its location last year, and was about 10 miles out, after some time, it sorted itself out, but has now stopped again, although the arrow changes direction with the car, the map is currently in the middle of the Wash!
I have checked, and the unit is seeing 0 satellites, and I'm wondering...

Hi.

Ive just picked up my 208 this evening and have a quick question regarding the touchscreen audio inputs.

I can get all of the radio bands without any problem but the iPod, Bluetooth etc icons on the screen are 'shaded' out and do nothing when I try and press them.
Does this mean they are not applicable to my model or is there some way of...

Hi all. I have a Citroen C3 (2002 model) and I’m looking to change the stereo in it, as the original head unit has stopped playing the radio and I am unsure what to do to sort this problem out.

I replaced it with an aftermarket stereo, without realising that this affects the central locking of the car and resulted in my being locked out of my...

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.

I work on my sister's 2001 C5 exclusive and this week put in the latest (and last I think!) map CD in to it, which I bought from eBay.

This one:

The car came with an older disc, which worked in every respect except showing maps. The Map section on the display is always greyed out but it will hbappily find an address and take you there with...

Hello, my name is Yigit Atilla. I live in Istanbul and I have had a few Citroën cars for about 15 years and during this time I have learned a lot, especially on technical issues. I have 2 Citroën C2' s now, one is the 2007 VTS and the other is the 2006 HDI. I think the self-introduction part is enough for now, I'm starting to explain my problem....

Good morning DSser!

I own a DS7 Crossback, I am happy with the car. I have a question: I am using Android Auto a lot when traveling, using the physical cable to activate it.

Does anybody know if DS is going to implement it using wireless connection?

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,
For a while I've been thinking about changing my stock radio and screen in my C4 II. All I got to know is that I can't simply put some 2din but I rather have to buy some of those Chinese android things. But there's a thing, I was told that I can't do that in a version with stock navigation. While many places at aliexpress show it's...

Please can you help. I have a Citroen Nemo van. Last week I went to start the van as normal but it seemed to struggle to get going. It took a few attempts but eventually went and has started fine since. However the Bluetooth has stopped working completely and my mileage is constantly flashing. I have tried disconnecting the negative off the...

Hi friends.
I have a subwoofer installed in my new C5 Aircross (JL Audio), and I’m trying to find the right balance for the crossover point. The audio in the c5 is.. interesting :) sometimes I find it amazing and sometimes I find it very all over the place.

Tried a few default EQ settings, I think Jazz/Blues is my favourite (my music is main...

Hi all,

Yet another late night thought........

So i would like to install a cd changer (have this weird thing about it being period correct) to my 2005 citroen xsara picasso.

Now i'm aware the wiring loom is unlikely to be in place for this, however i have literally no idea where to start on this.

Evening all,

My DS3 aux and usb do not work but the 12v does leading me to believe it’s not the fuse.

Would a replacement part be the answer?

If so how do I get it out and what is the part number and price please?

Hello once again!

I did a complete reinstall of the audio system in my Citroen C5 X7 (amplifier install, sound deadening, speaker replacement, sub-woofer in the trunk), wish you could hear it! :twisted: I originally had a RD4 head unit which I replaced with RT6 and its screen using custom-made harness thanks to the schematics posted here on...

Hi all
I am getting the diagbox out later today to try and complete some work started earlier this year.

Hello fellas.

I am fitting my Citroen C5 X7 from 2008 with RNEG2/RT6 head unit and dedicated display. My car originally came with RD4 unit. I gathered all the parts needed except for the microphone for audio calls.

I could purchase the dedicated PSA mic that mounts into the headliner assembly, though it is rather expensive (even used one). So...

Hello there

I recently brought an used 2011 C5 Tourer. Its amazing car. Problem is when I pair my phone via bluetooth I am getting no sound from the radio speakers except the radio on air music. I mean music is not lowering and radio does not switching to the bluetooth device, call or anything. I can make calls via controls, list the numbers on...

Hi,
Does anyone know what it takes to retrofit the JBL-amplifier option to a Mk I? Servicenet only show the parts, no description available.
Google seems to let me down on this.

EDIT: On a sidenote, is it only the removable top that differs from a version with the large screen? Citroen service lists two seperate dashboards, it seems like a huge...

Hi does anybody know if I can upgrade the sat nav in my 2009 Citroen C5 estate without going to Citroen main dealer

Hi
This is my first post.
I’ve just bought a C5 Exclusive, I can play songs from my iPhone through the car speakers and I can use the phone from the radio controls all names and numbers are loaded. I cannot get the voice recognition to work off the stalk. The voice recognition from Siri will pick the name and phone the number, it recognizes this....

Hi guys,

I have just taken ownership of a 2017 Citroen C4, we bought it from my wife’s parents (they bought it new). Does anyone know if there is a way of enabling Apple Carplay?

There is an option for it in the menu but when you click Apple car play (or the android equivalent) it says that it needs to be enabled by a Citroen dealership.

when i restart car next morning it starts working again ???

Hyullo all.

I've got a '99 206 GTI, and the radio has been a bit intermittent. The PO told me that the CD player had been filled with coins, so no longer worked, so I was using it as a radio only. It also cuts out sound over bumps, and can be brought back to life by percussive maintenance; until yesterday. I had some loud pops through the right...

Hi and thanks for letting me join - again! (lost password).
Just acquired a 2012 C5 Exclusive and just trying work out where everything is. Next to the audio unit (not SatNav) there are a couple of buttons, SOS and the citroen Chevron. According to the manual the SOS requires an internal sim and shows the location in the glove box. Not so on my...

Hi everyone,

This question is to do with our recently-purchased C3 1.2 PureTech Flair. Does one need to have the phone's WiFi always connected to the in-built Dashcam? My wife is having trouble with her Android Auto (Spotify, Maps) working because she doesn't get internet connection because she's connected to the camera.

So, once it's set up,...

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...
