Hi, please could someone help.

We brought a 2008 Citroen C5 diesel.
We are looking to use the bluetooth option to connect phone, but when you go into the menu there is no option for bluetooth.

So do I just need to buy a bluetooth module and plug in on back of radio?

Photo of radio attached.

I have seen the attached module for sale on ebay, is...

Hi,

I have a 2014 Citroen Relay 2.2 and I have a problem with the bluetooth. It did start to play up a bit a while ago, every time I tried to connect was telling me that couldn't find the connection; Now has stopped altogether, there is no connection and the switches on the steering wheel, other than the volume and the track selector, do not work...

Hi all,

I have a Pug 407 with an RT4 unit and a JBL amp. It all works well enough and the sound is good.

However. Has anyone found that as the volume is increased, the bass drops off dramatically? It's almost as if the volume increase is not linear across all frequencies. I have found the exact same thing in my old 406 with the JBL system. I am...

We have a Citroen C5 radio which has gone wrong and the computer won't work. We have now ordered a replacement radio from EBay. I just wanted to know about coding and whether anybody can point me in the right direction about this. As far as I understand, if we put the new radio in, it will work but not via the steering wheel controls. Is that...

Hi,
I have purchased a 2016 Dispatch Enterprise (2015 model) the van did not come with a sat nav unit. I purchased a replacement Teletrac which works with the exception it will not work a route,
I have reset it a few times and still no joy, any ideas on how to fix this. Would at other unit work with the installed wiring.

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.

Hi there.

I have mounted an aftermarket stereo made by pioneer.
It works fine since I’ve also connected the steering-wheel adapter (for volume, source, skip track) as well as the adapter for the parking-radar.

However, the trip-computer and the clock isn’t working properly.
My question is if there is any way to program the computer to show the...

Morning all - first question from a new member.

I’m picking up a 2010 C5 VTR in a week and had a question about potential Bluetooth compatibility. I’ve had a read through a lot of threads and I’m just getting more and more confused.

The car is just a VTR, so no satnav or colour screen.

My questions - what head unit comes in my car? From...

Hi Everyone, I am a new member on here having just purchased my 3rd C5 which is a 2001 2.2 HDi Exclusive hatchback, When I bought it I discovered the (Everything Works!!!) radio does not receive anything and the gps does not work. From memory and a read on here I was pretty convinced that the antenna was faulty so I decided to remove, clean the...

Hi, I bought a Citroen C3 (2002 model) the other day, and everything was working fine

However, a couple of days after I bought it, the radio stopped working?

It’s displaying ‘MHZ’ and then a frequency (radio station number) - but nothing is playing and no matter what is pressed it isn’t playing anything. It’s still playing CDs absolutely fine...

Hi All , Just joined the forum today , I have a 2007 C5 Exclusive 2.0 hdi the learning curve starts here ..the AM reception is very poor , and I love Talksport so I need it working , the radio has no sat nave, just getting noise cant tune any channels ,it did work on the M25 on Wednesday but the nearer I got to Leighton Buzzard the worse it got ,...

I have owned this car for 3 years. Each year the display (in the centre of the dashboard) has become more and more faded on hot days. This year the display has vanished, except on dull days or at night. Putting a reflective sheet inside the windscreen does not work - it is the hot inside of the car rather than direct Sunshine that is the problem....

hello everyone :)
I need little help. Five months ago, I took Joying radio along with a bunch of extra things I think to put up with (front and rear camera shooting, anti-theft cameras (who knows maybe someone take radio, car is safe :rofl2:
), parking sensors ahead and back, back driving camera and motion picture camera.

What I'm interested...

The large dash-top LCD display on my Mk1 C5 2.2HDi has gone on the blink......

I see a few of them for sale on the net, from around £50 upwards, however, without any
mention that they have been checked or refurbished.

At that price, I'd hope that someone has looked into getting a repair done.......anyone ?

Just to be sure.....this is the larger...

Hi,
I bought this kit ( to add an AUX cord to the radio of my 307, but then realising it might need to be activated using the peugeot planet software, contacted several dealers and no one has it, wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? I am based in Dundee area.
Thanks
Shibin

I just happened to spot a youtube showing an installation in a 308, it starts off looking like a bit of a bodge-job, but at the end of the video (about 17 minutes into the video), he demonstrates most of the functionality that is normally lost when fitting an after-market system.

It might be worth getting some more details.

Hi All, As I'm new to this forum apologies if this has already been discussed, My CD player in my 04 Berlingo has stopped playing, I've tried
CD cleaner disc but no joy, the radio works fine so not a power issue, i have an identical unit in my Clio which is not being used at the moment but when fitted in the Citroen it does not work. I've seen on...

hi this is my first post here

to cut a long story short I have a 2014 c4 Picasso vtr+ and my dad has the c4 Picasso executive + with the sat nav and colour screen. my dad crashed his car (his fault) and has said I can change the touch screen and top screen into mine if it can be done?

my question can they swoped over from his to mine? My car...

Hi all.

I have an 09 C5 with the navigation system/radio. A couple of days ago the screen went black and the radio no longer works.
I assumed it was an electrical fault and dived into the car's manual only to find out that there is no mention of any fuse for the radio (like my old Fiesta had) and so I went through all of them. All fuses are...

Hi, I'm considering a Connects2 ( CD changer to 3.5mm headphone plug adapter. The Connects2 technical department states that it might be necessary to 'enable' the CD changer before the adapter works. Does anyone know if this is possible with the Lexia 3 - Peugeot Planet?
Thanks (as usual) - Alex.

So i have a 2009 Citroen c5 with a sat nav. I went somewhere to wash my car and the guys that cleaned it ruined my sat nav......there is a green line in the middle of it. Im thinking of replacing it with one of those ebay aftermarket sat nav units that have touchscreen and all those shenanigans. however im not sure if its just plug and play. Would...

Hi Guys.

Just a quick question regarding original radio for Xantia. I bought car without radio and had a hope that I'll be able to fit original radio from my previous (two years older) Xantia. Unfortunately looks like top socket/plug is different and power is located on different pins on plug (radio reset itself every time when ignition if off)....

Hi All. I'm Burnie and new to this forum. I'm a mechanic (many years ago) and have bought a Citroen Relay Van 2012 with 50,000 miles which I'm converting into a campervan. I'm trying to find out if anyone can help me with a radio problem. The previous owner told me she had a new battery fitted and since then the radio hasn't worked. I had the...

After having had two of the original Philips radio units fail with old age, I decided to replace it, and now have a new Sony CDX-G1302 radio/singleCD unit, which looks good, and works fine.

Have been trying to interface it to use the existing steering wheel controls, and the following kit has been recommended and is listed as dedicated to Y4 XM,...

Hi is there a thread on how to update a ds5 65 plate please I get mine tomorrow morning Thanks

Hey guys, a little thought musing over in the noggin of late, using a standard head unit in the car to run a small install from,

Whats the part number or what do i need to typw in to bring up the genuine radio player for the S2 xantia hdi.

When i bought the car i was given a radio cd player out of a peugeot not sure what year or what car (see pic) it works with the steering controls but the outer cover is in the way so it does not sit priperly and the lid that covers the...

:? Hi My name is Gray and I live not far from the sea in Wirral UK.
I recently bought myself a really nice Citroen C4 Picasso and was very happy with it until a few weeks ago and I am hoping I can maybe find the answer to my problem on this site. I hope I'm not posting all this in the wrong place but I'm 63 and absolutely useless at using online...

Hello everyone I'm new around here, I'v been reading this topic trying to figure out a way to hook a power cable directly from the battery to an amplifier in the trunk, I couldn't find any hole behind the engine , i'm scared to try taking power from the fuse box inside the car...

Can someone help me ?

Thanks alot

Hi.

My wife's C3 has suddenly developed an issue and I wonder if anyone can help us please?

The sat nav has worked fine for years (- albeit with the daft Citroen policy on UK postcodes!)

Anyhow, the sat nav has suddenly stopped working and a msg on the screen requests that the 'media/card is inserted'. Of course, the sd card is inserted. We...

Can't check on SB at the moment to confirm the actual head unit. About 4 times over the last couple of months the CD (mp3) has stopped and gone to an egg timer and wouldn't eject. Did it again today, but didn't come back. Whipped the head unit out a little and there seems to be no power to the CD drive. The radio works fine. I think the CD has...

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...

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...

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...

Here we go then. About a month ago when I bought the car the screen worked fine. It was then parked up outside until I could get over to the UK to fetch it. Straight away the screen wasn't showing all the pixels, since then it seems to be almost perfect on a cold morning then over the next 10 minutes, more and more of the screen disappears until...

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

Hi guys,
The good lady has her new car now, Partner xtr hdi '58 reg, is a brilliant wagon, very impressed, only upgrade I'd like to have would be an all in one nav unit, current unit is the standard rd4, looking through for the oem unit and screen is Very pricey, before looking at lexia/pug planet software and laptop to validate it all, So, nosing...

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.
can somebody tell me is...

I have a C4 Grand Picasso blueHDI 120 Selection model with 2016 (16) plates. SMEG currently on car is: SMEG5.4.B.R8 . CD26378 Date: 01-12-2015

My question (I've googled all over) is if I upgrade firmware to the latest build - what can I expect to gain? My car model has not SatNav. I would ideally love to have Android Auto, but I cannot get this...

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...

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?

Hi All,

I've recently purchased a Citroen C5 x7 Exclusive.
Unfortunately it doesn't come with Sat Nav or even Bluetooth, as it has the RD3 installed.

I'm therefore looking to add a Nexus 7 into the dashboard where the current multi function LCD is in place and under tray.
Ill move the LCD display to the bottom of the dash (Pointless penny...

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to add an aux-in to my RD3-01 (Clarion PU-2472B(J))radio on a '03 C5.

I enabled the changer with Lexia (BSI and multifunction display) and have a signal cable from green changer connector signal pins. There are references about adding a resistor between some pins to fool the head unit to think that there...

Hi I have a 07 plate relay 2.2 I have converted to a camper but the stereo has problems.

3. Traveling down the motorway it will pick up a local station for about 3 miles

I have changed the stereo with no joy
I have changed the Ariel no joy

Hi everyone,

long time lurker seeking some help.

I bought a used MK1 C5 this week. It's a clean 2.0Hdi 110 estate. However, the test drive didn't uncover some of the faults and to be honest, this one is on me. I didn't check the radio. It's not turning on.

I pulled it out this evening, everything looks connected. There's a 12v feed with a...

My 2007 '56' reg C4GP came with the DVD entertainment system, it works fine but the foam covers on the wireless headphones are shot. I wouldn't have thought for a moment that these covers are a Citroen replacement part (probably not even the complete headphone unit themselves, though it would seem a little over the top to have to replace these...

Hi there, I have a C5 Mk2 facelift 55 plate and have the connections under the seat for a cd changer, (Non installed) Would really like to have USB and or Bluetooth connectivity.

Is there an ISO plug that connects to give such functionality please? (Got about 2000 tunes on a stick for the long journeys to Spain each winter!)

Thanks in advance....

Seems that current Citroen and Peugeot mid spec models get android mirror screen and top spec get satnav as well - along with lots of baubles and a big price hike. My current experience with my C4 Picasso satnav persuades me that paying extra for a flawed satnav system is pointless, my phone does better, so when I am next changing car I won't be...

Much as I like the look of the original radio/cassette player in my late Series 1 Xantia, I'd like to be able to play CDs so I plan to fit an aftermarket DIN-sized radio/CD player. Fitting kits with the required console surround are easily found on eBay, but they state suitability for Series 2 Xantias and don't mention the Series 1. Is there...
