Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

It depends on what exact kit and model you have in the vehicle - that is correct it does need enabling by the dealer, but you will need to find a dealer who has some experience of this as not all of them clearly do.

Last post

Could it be so that the rather pathetic stock subwoofer is protected on higher volumes, and it´s level is dropped in the additional amp.

I would scrap that JBL-soundsystem and install aftermarket amp and at least sub after original HU. Then you have to remove that JBL-amp with diagbox, after that I think you wouldn´t suffer this problem.

Hi Jamie, you’ll still need to get it coded to your C4, plus you will still need to configure your vehicles’s BSI (main computer) to accept it and to configure all the other equipment options that may now be required due to fitting this unit.

I certainly would ask your local Citroen dealer first of all if they would be able to do this, because...

Broken radio/nav system.

by Sunderas » 21 Feb 2019, 02:12

First post

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...

Last post

1 - Disconnect the battery. You mention a procedure. Would you please be able to let me know which is it? And the reconnect as well?
Never thought about a procedure with my previous cars. It was just disconnecting the terminals and that was it. I'll answer questions 1 & 4 together as it is essentially the same thing:-
Think of modern cars as...

Enabling CD changer auxiliary input.

by alexfisher » 15 Feb 2019, 10:51

First post

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.

Yes, the axillary adapter was recognised after connection without enabling as you suggested Marc - thanks Alex.

In short yes.

You can't just go plugging in anything and expect it to work. Depending on the system you have (again, as per your other post, we'll need a VIN) you may loose vehicle option functionality completely, so don't expect parking assistance to work or to be able to change options (system dependent), plus you will need harnesses and may...

Ok, so a VIN will help in the meantime so I can determine exactly what you have.

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)....

I had also some problems to get steering wheel controls working with Kenwood HU. If I remember correctly, first I tried Kenwood´s own adapter that didn´t work at all, then after that it was InCarTec or similar adapter that worked partly, and after I sent it to manufacturer for reprogramming, it worked fine.

Easy - the GS had the radio in the centre console, so didn’t have to reach, and as for those early ones, well there wasn’t anything to worry about as it was radio and cassette!😀 So no SD cards, CDs jukebox AUX, DVD sources to worry about Mike.

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...

C4 Picasso lounge stereo swap

by talbotsteve » 28 Aug 2018, 19:06

First post

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...

Last post

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

If you do enquire with Citroen, ask them if the RD45 unit (which they should know has built-in Bluetooth Audio Streaming and Bluetooth Hands Free phone support) is compatible with the vehicle if you were to source one. Tell them you...

Single din to double din

by Jmh474 » 25 Aug 2018, 23:47

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.

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...

Hi (Andy?) and welcome.

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 would first double check the wiring harness at the back of the unit is full and properly connected (always...

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?

If you remove the radio you may well find the code written on it somewhere - daft but not unknown.
