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

Disruption to Parts Service

Is it possible to replace the original speakers with those of HI FI System? I have everything amp,suwoofer,speakers and wires.

Thanks for the schematics, but something is missing:
- the rear tweeters, where are the rear tweeters are connected too?
- the input in the amplifier from the head unit - from my knowledge the head unit doesn't have an output for the amplifier. So, if this is true from where I can get the signal for the amplifier?

Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster!

So I have replaced the RD4 in my '58' C5 with a RD45 (from a DS3), I used my Lexia to activate the fader for rear speakers and also activated the parking assistance etc.

My first question is about installing the microphone for the hands-free. I have removed the roof console an identified a two way...

That MIC may not have noise cancelling features - which is why I asked, so may be the cause of the issue.

Last post

If I remember correctly, on the 308 you need to also enable bluetooth hands-free (either in the BSI or screen configuration, I dont remember which) as if the earlier Nomad hands-free was fitted, so that the bluetooth screen display was enabled.

Ok, so from your description, it sounds like you have a basic RD4 system and additionally a hands free audio unit that is fitted behind the dash.

Yes you can code the RD4 Head Unit easily enough with Lexia for a 2005 C5. Run a Global test and then select the Head Unit ECU, select and go into parameters / configuration / manual configuration and the options should be there.

Rd45 Peugeot 407

My 2007 Peugeot 407 has the factory fitted RD4 stereo.

I've tried searching the Internet and looking at various websites, but I'm only finding information for citroen cars.

Is it possible to fit a RD45 to my car so I can have Bluetooth audio streaming? Mine is the grey stereo.

Thank you.

I think this is getting a little too complicated for me.

I think I'm going to get a Bluetooth and dab rds transmitter. Not cheep but it'll give me Bluetooth and dab without losing any peugeot features by fitting an aftermarket stereo.

Or is it a case of the radio is too old and too...

You can replace your RD4 with a RD45 that has Bluetooth for handsfree and music streaming. You will also require a new MFD or at the very least your current one reconfiguring.

The RDS on the radio (RD4) in my 3008 is not keen on re-tuning to another station.

Is this a 'feature' - never a problem in the similar units in the 307 or C4 Picasso so I think not? Aerial...
