Hi all,

I couldn’t see an answer to my query, so if it does exist, apologies,

I’m looking to access the engineering mode on our 5008, to enable the entertainment system to use a usb hub. There is one code mentioned quite a few times on the web, 7503900. However I’ve had no success with this number. Would anyone have a different code that I could...

My Citroen smartphone app said I need to update the touchscreen, and sent me this email (exactly as shown):

Hello to Everyone, I have had the usual problems on updating both the head unit and the maps. I have downloaded the Citroen Download tool but when connected to that ıt won't download the needed downloads. I have only managed to download the maps not the head unıt but the update did load either. I assume I need to first update the head unit or at...

We have just purchased a 2019 C3 and cannot figure how to get the maps/nav to work.. i have read through here and am more confused than ever. Is this something i can do myself or will i need to go to the dealer?

Any help would be hugely appreciated as the Satnav was one of the main reasons for getting this car

Hi everyone,
I have a 2014 Citroen C4 Picasso and I'm having an issue where I get an error message when connecting my iPhone via USB. I'm hoping there is a software update available that could resolve this USB connectivity problem.
Does anyone know where I can download the latest update files for my car's system?
Any advice on where to find...

Hello everybody, last year in March I bought a used C4 Picasso 2013 with a faulty top screen. It had black dead spots all over it. I knew it is a common problem on these displays and got a great deal over it.

Since Citroen wants a lot of money for a new assembly and it will fail again eventually I tried to find a company that repairs them. I got...

Good evening, I also have an issue with my car. The music volume decreases when there is more bass in the song, without any option to adjust the volume based on speed or any other way. This happens both when I'm using Bluetooth on my iPhone 12 and when using a cable. I've also tried with Samsung, and it behaves the same way. Only on the radio does...

Hi, I have a 2016 C4 Confort Techno Plus. (1.6 BlueHdi version) I heard its Carplay could be activated. I researched everywhere and I couldn't find a solution.

Hello. I'm just about to enter the world of DS5 ownership, all very exciting. I understand there were various different head units at different times, I wondered if someone here would know what unit it was from a blurry photo (attached)? Sorry, it's the best I have at the moment.

I've always wanted a DS5, can't believe it's happening! :-D It seems fitting to replace my C5 X7 with one.

I believe it has NAC Wave 1 - the software had Carplay and Mirrorlink available, and FW 7.1.3.
I think it should have the Connected Services, but I'm not sure. It had the...

Hello there!

I am sorry in advance if this is a wrong place to ask, as it might be a completely Citroen-side problem, but I have already tried updating in a dealership in my country (eastern Europe) and they were unable to do so but they say that the update exists.

I have been trying to update the firmware and navigation in my car, but for some...

Hey all,

As of late, my SMEG+IV2 seems to be on it's way out, complaining of a phantom USB device not available. Power supply fault.

Hi all , My first post.

For chcnorris29 or anyone interested:
Good news is the RT6 head unit can be replaced with later NAC Wave2 head unit that was built-in into the latest DS5 series! I personally have swapped my SMEG+IV2 (mid 2015) for NAC (2018) 5 months ago.

What you need is:

Hi,
I own a DS3 crossback 69 plate.
I often (not always) have problem connecting CarPlay. Sometimes, when the lead is connected to the phone the car doesn’t link to CarPlay but only to ‘iPod’ instead.
Does anyone have this problem? or any tips on how to make it work properly every time I link the phone?

Thanks
