Brief forum outage expected Tuesday 21/05/2019

by xantia_v6 » Yesterday, 15:41 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

Our hosting provider is installing some security updates, and will be taking our server off-line for a short period some time on Tuesday.

They are not giving a scheduled time, so it will happen when it happens...

This site should restart itself cleanly after the reboot.

Guide to Replacing the NG4 Navidrive 3D Hard Drive with a CF Card

A post from a member who has likely suffered a Hard Drive failure on his NG4 Navidrive 3D system has prompted me to re-double my efforts in finding a possible pre-emptive solution to Drive Failure. The same can be said of the RT4 system with a HDD, although these units seem to have more issues than the NG4. Although the principle is the same for...

Last post

Could be several reasons. You may have a hardware problem caused by overheating. Another possibility is that the hard drive has become corrupt, which can cause the restarts.

There is no need to get a hard drive image, as the firmware upgrade file is also able to recreate the partitions and the operating files itself. For this to work, you would...

RT4 to NG4

by Martin1980 » 28 Mar 2018, 16:47

Hi, everyone. I find a cheap NG4 with display system. So my question is can I change my RT4 system with NG4.

I change only the lcd screen. The ECU is the same.

Android app to read notifications on the NG4

by nico06 » 30 Nov 2018, 15:05

First post

Dear All,

As mentioned in this other subject here is a quick post on my experience searching apps that read on the car speaker notification from my Android phone (a Chinese oukitel-no-name, I am not really into the hype phone). The NG4 seems to have only the bluetooth profiles to act as a phone handsfree / headset. So we cannot play music, read...

Last post

It might be Google maps and the App specifically with frequent voice instructions - so may have more or less kept the HF going so no music.

It's at least an alternative if you are desperately in need of Sat Nav though.

NG4 Navidrive 3D Map Updates

Less than that now in terms of support too. I can give you a recent example where the NG4 Navidrive was available to order up to and including 2014. PSA have not and are unlikely to commission HERE for any future map updates. The current one is 2016-2 which contains 2015 data! So 2 years and obsolete. Disgusting.

Last post

MyWay is in the same boat as NG4 and it won't be too far on when RT6 support fizzles out too. This being down to the horrible touch screen affairs that they are shoving into the newer models that use mobile apps and subscription services that need 3G / 4G data to work - so if you live in the country / rural areas with limited mobile signal, yet...

NG4 Is there any battery inside?

by ZarkoM » 15 Nov 2017, 15:43

First post

Hi,
I have 7 years old NG4 in my P308. In last days I noticed that after swithing on the unit, clock on my NG4 is reset to 01:00 and display of clock is flashing. This happens usually when I do not use a car for a day or two. After receiving GPS signal, clock is correct again but still flashing until I confirm via SETUP.

I am quite sure that car...

Last post

Definitely no backup battery, as all the data is stored on the hard disk and in the flash memory. The only battery is in the services module as I mentioned before for emergency powering of the speaker, the microphone and for the actual emergency call.

I still suggest you try a reset of the unit, and if you still have problems a factory reset....

C5 Navidrive cuts off

My c5 navidrive stops service as it heats up : it stops telephone then CD player then reduces the volume to half and in all of these the reason displayed is to reduce unit temperature and if I carry on driving the following message is displayed: unit will shut down to prevent any damage.

Hi and welcome.

Do you have the NG4 (Navidrive 3D) or the RT4 system?
The pictures for each are in the Audio & Telematics Main page here and will be the second or the third picture.

If you have the NG4 (Navidrive 3D) the system is likely going into backup mode because of the temperature inside the unit. The official causes are listed as:...

Sorry - only just seen this post.

The NG4 system is dependent on having the correct equipment other than the head unit and also must be VIN coded AND configured to the vehicle using Diagbox / Lexia.
The NG4 is designed to work with the MDS Service module, which is linked to the Microphone and the Head unit via the CAN system. So unless you got...

iPhone support

Can you connect an iPhone to the USB port to play music on this system? Reading the manual i'm not sure its just bad with its terminology , I'm doing something wrong, i need a newer firmware to do it or it just cannot be done.

It says connecting an iPod, and an iPhone with the Music player acts like an iPod on other devices like my home cinema...

Last post

Can't be done - the USB will charge the phone and will play WMA and MP3 files on an actual USB stick directly, but will not play files from an iPhone's music library. You can also use the SD card in the Navidrive 3D to play the same - which is what I do.

You can connect video or audio sources to the AUX socket in the glovebox - and select this as...

Installing map updates to Navidrive NG4 (C5, 2009)

by splinternet » 04 Jun 2017, 12:23

First post

I have a set of discs to update my maps. Basic question - how/where do I load them? The obvious place seems to be where I insert an audio CD, are there any other slots? But when I start the installation (step 1: firmware upgrade with the supplied CD) after about a minute I get a message Read error - source cannot be played . If I skip the firmware...

Last post

Righto RT4. All the firmware is supplied as standard with the OFFICIAL map updates as part of the package, bot OP has got a used kit with some of the discs missing it seems. I think he's sorted for the firmware now, fingers crossed on the map update now!

Hi there

I've just bought a 2010 C5 Exclusive and I have a problem with the SAT NAV. It works but does not show the correct location. The recption says 'poor' and satalites say 0 which i'm guessing has something to do with the antenna.

Anyone had a similar issue that can help resolve it? VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Thanks
Ben

Last post

You don't even need to fit a stick on gps antenna. Just get one from a scrap car and then fit it behind the screen as there is enough space for one and the cabling. I've done it a few times with double sided tape to stick it all down and have the antenna facing the correct way as well.

It's also good for when retro fitting to vehicles without nav...

That's great news Alan. I knew that the Clarion service centre had a contract to repair the Magneti Marelli units, but wasn't sure about the NG4s. I knew it was about 500 Euros a while back in France for repairs - so seems about right. Hopefully they will have updated it to the latest firmware for you too. I'm in the process of writing up about...

Sorry for all the questions but i've just tried uploading some music from my USB. I select 'copy all' files. There are three folders with an equivalent of a CD of tracks on each. However, it only seems to copy the first folder and not the other two despite selecting them all. Also how do you delete a folder -- i've looked in the manual and then on...

Last post

There's a very good reason for it - the NG4 system doesn't support Bluetooth music streaming! It does just about everything else though, hence why I suggested it. You have to remember this was a 2008/9 system and probably designed a few years previous to that, so they can't support every future development of Bluetooth. They did provide several...

C5 Jukebox problem with track order

by splinternet » 22 Apr 2016, 14:49

First post

When copying (ripping?) CDs to the Jukebox of my C5 Mk III 59-plate, for some CDs it picks up the name of each track, whereas for others it doesn't (it calls them Track1, Track2, etc...). Whilst with the latter it stores the tracks in the same order they're in on the CD (although you don't know the name of the tracks), annoyingly and puzzlingly,...

Last post

Of course the other great thing with the SD card is there are no moving parts - so with less disk activity, the unit should remain cooler. You just have to play a DVD and see how hot the unit gets! Regarding the SD card - I have a 32GB SD HC in there and haven't managed to fill half this yet. I haven't tried anything bigger, but don't see an issue...

Citroen C5 NG4 Navidrive Not Working

by Arokh » 16 Feb 2016, 19:30

Hi,
The NG4 navigation/radio thing on my car won't turn on anymore. It only lights up for a second. I tried placing a CD in it and it went in without any problems but now it's stuck inside. Lexia diagnosis couldn't get any response from it. The car is a Citroen C5 from 2010. Any idea on what might be wrong?

Just to be clear (as some people do get confused between the units) is this the system you have ignoring the colours of course?
