Can any one tell me the speaker impedance of the door speakers as standard for my C5 2012 C5(X7).

Just a quick reply to my question. I had a RNEG with no audio, every thing else perfect. I found the problem was the audio chip but there are two similar chips, one for 2? the other 4?. I found the correct one which was the 4?, so that is the impedance.

Recently added C4 2014 diesel to our family and wanted to check if there is a way to use the factory unit to add reverse camera ? Instead of replacing it with an android unit.

Swap RD45 to Android?

I'm simply looking for dab but was wondering if something like this is doable or is it going to be a ball ache?

Am I better off using something like this and keeping the standard setup?

Obviously the second option is cheaper and the first option has way more features than I'd ever use but I'm not a fan of 'stuck on' extras, I prefer built in...

I just got parking sensors working with Joying after one faulty sensor changed. It seems a bit slow at first, but I have to test it more extensively. Also haven´t yet seen front sensors working with Joying, but I might have settings wrong for that.

Renault Laguna radio tuning

by Mikenovak » 27 Oct 2020, 19:46

First post

I have hust bought a 2007 Renault Laguna 2.0 Dynamic and am trying to find my way around the car using the owners handbook provided. Unfortunately, for some reason Renault have not included the basic instructions on tuning the radio!

I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the direction of where to find this information please?...

Last post

There's not much support here for Renault I'm afraid, but it surely can't be that difficult?

Generally make sure it is on the radio and either press and hold the TUNER button until it beeps and it will search for and store the stations it finds.

Speakers and Tweeters - C5 X7

Hi all,

I have a Citroen C5 X7 from 2008 (without HiFi pack - on RT4), and I am looking for a middle range update in term of sound system. Why middle range ? Because I would like to improve it, but I can't say I am a musician or expert sadly... I am just looking for a decent upgrade at a decent price :)

What would you suggest for the front...

2000 xantia sx hdi 110 audio system

by thatfatbloke69 » 18 Oct 2020, 06:28

First post

Hi. Purchased the above yesterday,and am not too impressed with the sound quality of the audio system. It's been fitted with a JVC 4x50w head unit at some point and as far as I know has the original 6 speaker system fitted. Would it be best to just change the head unit to get a better sound (I likes me bass) or would the door speakers need to be...

Last post

2000 was the change-over year between Clarion and Phillips systems, so we would need the VIN or build date to know which was originally fitted.

With either brand, there were 2 spec levels and SX spec cars usually had the lower spec sound system.

This old thread had info on steering wheel controls for PU-1562A and Xantia:

The steering wheel controls simply feed resistance values (two wires only) to the head unit; each function has a specific resistance value.

If you have an RD4, then there may be an upgrade path by replacing it with an RD45, there are a few topics in describing how it has been done on various models.

Ok, so you need to change the following: For items listed as 'Missing' on your screen shots (Heating Ventilation / Under Inflation Detection), see if you can change these to 'Absent'. Otherwise the BSI may be expecting them if previously configured for the donor vehicle in the Head Unit ECU - where they are not valid on your C5.

Don't necessarily give up on finding an adequate power source inside the cabin, rather than having to route one from the battery area.

How to remove the loudspeakers from the door panels?

by atr » 07 Jul 2019, 12:43

First post

I have to replace the loud speakers in my C5 X7 2010. I guess that the membrane is torn, especially on the rear doors speakers. I'm not sure, but it seems that it's more complicated than to remove the grille covering the speaker. please let me know how to dismantle it.
Thanx.

Last post

In order to remove the speakers, you'll need to remove the door handle trim, disconnect the electric connectors, ditto for the grab handle trim in order to access the 2 bolts, remove those, then the door control switch for the windows, under door puddle lights, and unclip the door card surround - using trim removal tools.

That will give you...

So here's a compatible unit for £25 (collection in Upminster) - but you may be able to contact the seller to arrange an additional PayPal payment if you can convince him to post it for you possibly?

This one will obviously have a different serial number stamped into the unit, but is the same unit.

Ok Andy, I have the VIN already from your registration.

So what you are saying is that the Head Unit has been replaced for an identical RT4 (the RT3 was only fitted to the previous MK II) unit - or the amplifier was - after some USB gadget fried the electrics?

You'll have to go for an older car than you have now (probably about 10 years!) in order to be sure it has less electronics. Even medium spec cars have a sat nav nowadays.

Let's face it, cars are not going to get any less complex.
