Sorry to hear the display was dead.
Ref your earlier question: You need to programme the change in display into the BSI.

New display works perfectly except i need to code board computer in menu options because new display is from peugeot 3008.

Most likely

RD45 - Radio Configuration - Streaming Function - Set to Activated .

It's a bit odd that bluetooth calling is active but not streaming, but who knows what goes on in those Galouises-addled minds? :D

I've just bought a 2012 C4 Picasso and want to add bluetooth support to it without changing the existing stereo.

One of this style of device will work, and tbh I'd not look to spend more on the RD4,

Both are fundamentally the same thing, one is marginally easier to fit.

If you want a better-integrated solution you could look to change to...

You have a basic RD4 system fitted at factory without AUX Sockets.

I dug out my old RD4 and the RD45 front panel:

./download/file.php?id=74064
./download/file.php?id=74065
./download/file.php?id=74066

thanks a whole lot, this is of much use for me.

Versions I tried,

4.2.04.01 head, don't have the screen version, sorry. Bought as a set form a single vehicle. This was fine apart from losing bluettooh pairing at ignition off.
4.1.0.1.00 head and 73.2 screen. Bought seperately. The BSI gumbles about a lack of CAN between screen and BSI, but actually works fine. Bearing in mind the car was never...

Just to tidy-up my loose ends,

I eventually got everything to stop complaining about permanent live missing, and it doesn't appear to have been a fault in itself.

However, the issue of forgetting Bluetooth pairings persisted, and eventually I found this thread, which describes the exact issue I was having, and the fix for the specific version I...

Ok so I got my hands on another RD45, a bit higher sw version, it was a 3.2, but issue persisted. distorted sound without mono on. so my unit is not faulty. i guess i should either try a very new one, from a c-elysee, or just forget about it and use it on usb, since audio quality is as good as can be. only downside is usb will only work with...

They re NOT all the same and the MFD has an ECU inside it that controls the Head Unit (RD4 / RD45). If there are incompatibilities between these there will be errors. Some units are for RD4 systems, some for RD4 with Hands-free kits and some are for RD45 units. Further, there are different levels of the Head units to make things more complicated,...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this. Well, I need to live with this :)

Regards!

I have seen videos of at least one Android head unit that replicates (at least the basic) settings functions, e.g. clock setting, lighting control and display brightness control.
As the supplier to find out if such things are supported for your model car, and if an additional interface box is required.

The screen is either compatible or not dependant on the software version of the screen.

Yep, when my 407 screen died I got one from a C4, configured it but no telephone. got another, telephone was fine.
Until about Feb this year when I can call out but not receive calls. The phone rings via the cars speakers then nothing. Apparently the issue...

Hi, thought i'd do a quick update. The type c display arrived today so I went out and installed it to make sure it works. Seems to be fine. All functions present and correct from previous type a with the only difference I can see is the bluetooth function which of course my rd4 radio doesn't support.

Apologies for raising a post from the dead,...

Nice one Mike, that will save me having to dig it up! I shall have to bookmark that.

10/10 for effort!

Hiya. Not sure if this is a good idea – to jump on an old thread or start a new one – but I'm trying to do the same as above. So I have already fitted the cable, and now need to find someone with a Lexia / Diagbox to have the CD Changer parameter enabled. I'm trying to contact a member through the list of Lexia owners above, but I can't seem to do...

See my last post ^

No, it doesn't look like a full chip kit to me and probably won't work with full CAN vehicles.

Great, well done.

Single antenna (White) is working just fine now, it just doesn't receive as well as the RD4 (dual antenna) does.
On another note, I can maybe put to bed the rumour that an RD45 needs an EMF-C with a v72 firmware.
Mine (from a scrap 2013 C3 Picasso, not China) is working fine on a v71.3 EMF-C from a 2009 308.

I can't confirm that the wiring will be there or not, sorry as it's generally a factory-fit option on order. Harnesses are different according to optional equipment fitted and in this case you already have a different harness because of non-automatic A/C and no Parking assistance. I'm not saying that this will mean you don't have the wiring there,...

Not so easy with this as you're going from basic RD4 to a full telematics unit, so won't have the correct aerials for the GPS for one thing, not the correct BSI configuration as it stands. Plus you'll need the new fascia and screen...

I know, that i need to buy new plastic panel, new screen, new radio and cabels. And i also read that the gps...

Ideally Diagbox. Whereabouts are you?

It must have been in a really odd state.
Suddenly all the RDS info that I hadn't noticed has started working too. It was getting the station name but not the track/presenter/whatever.

Great, thanks for the update, seems to be an improvement if nothing else. Enjoy the freebie CD!

I know on loads of models I have checked, the part is shown and importantly listed to show the part number available under the VIN, but in this particular case, it has filtered the microphone out and is not listed with a part shown.

In many vehicles the pre-wiring was there, and the part number was shown, but not in this case, so just wanted to...

oh wow good to know that, was worried it needs to enter code every time when removed like on some other vans..thank you for the info

Yes, everything works as expected. I recovered missing options via the diagnostic app.
USB also works fine. There is some limit for USB storage, must be FAT and 4GB max. I am not sure, I tried with bigger one and it did not work.

If you have AUX fitted at factory it will be in the Glovebox.

The RD4 came in 2 versions mono and dual tuners, which determined the number of inputs it could handle. IF you didn't have the AUX fitted at factory, then there won't be the connector in the glovebox and it won't be enabled in the BSI. It has to be enabled in the BSI to be available in...

My audio system is stay in stand by

There is no radio code. The radios are VIN-coded to the vehicle.

The display LCD may be on the way out, so likely needs a replacement.

H8 there...i think the issue is the location of the Bluetooth module is behind the dashboard..i do have the same issue that it doesn't connect automatically...but now everytime i get in the car i do postion the phone next to the dashboard and it connects automatically with the need to pair it again.
If any one know how do i get to the Bluetooth...

I found a cheap rd45 for sale locally and decided to try my luck with it. After some trial and error I managed to get it working (besides missing microphone).

If anyone is interested after getting the rd45 settings as close to the previous rd4 ones as possible all I had to do is enable the hands free kit option in the rd45, instrument cluster and...

No problem - it's just so you are aware. :wink:

That is my understanding. The RD4 and associated MFD screen is not just an audio unit, they are linked to the vehicles systems overall, so will display faults, all change of time, date, temperature display, and as I said can also configure vehicle options like rear wipe in reverse gear, and other equipment / options fitted.

We don't support...

just realise how old is this post......

I just checked and mine is a 72.01 (which is compatible). I will correct the post above.

Yes that's correct Stu. There are various types of units that work this way, but functionality is still limited to the Head Unit, which can only mimic a CD Changer, AUX or the FM channel. You may have to use a separate remote to control the FM device, depending in functionality.

The wiring may be present for a retrofit (it was on our 308), but Marc is correct on the need to reprogram and the need to fit a microphone.

It's located somewhere up or behind the glovebox on a RHD.

Hi Marc thx for replying,i will try that.From what i saw quickly looking when clicking right side of steering wheel ,is that few options are faily limited so somewhere out there is solution.Funny thing is that like 10 days ago or so it was working fine,not sure what happened.

It wouldn't work. To do that you would need to purchase the EMF-C screen with compatible software level and it would also need configuring for the vehicle. Apart from the screen the RD45 would also need VIN coding and configuring too. You may need to check harness compatibility too.

It would help first if you told us what make and model of bluetooth adapter you have bought. Most bluetooth adapters use bluetooth to pick up the transmission from the phone and then re-transmit via a spare FM frequency to your head unit's radio receiver for playback over the speakers.

All the bluetooth adapters I can see on Halfords use FM...

Upgrading to an RD45 will very likely require you to wire in a separate microphone as the factory-fitted one is integrated into the vehicle harness and may not be available at the output end.

The RD45 may have different functionality depending on country / build / vehicle. You may also need to replace your multifunction screen if you currently...

What about this Tom: It seems to do Bluetooth calls, streaming, and plays MP3s from flash cards etc. and has a built in microphone, so no messy wires and cables.

Got to be worth a punt at £13.79! There are 17k reviews on Amazon with a 4.5 star rating.
