French Car Forum

Radio on my C5 has never worked since I bought the car in June, the display shows it hunting for stations but it's completely silent, no hiss. CD player works, albeit a bit temperamentally. Is the problem likely to be in the aerial amplifier, or would it be hissing if that were the case?

Hi everyone. First, can i just say that having bought my Citroen DS5, I decided to join a dedicated DS5 forum. Oh dear, big mistake. It would appear to be peopled by half-wits, losers, spammers and nasty people. On asking for some advice, I was immediately spammed by some self abuser selling medicines, including --adware link removed--! Complaint to the moderators...

Previewing my radio and other configurations in Lexia has left me with a few unanswered questions though I have no problem that needs fixing, just wondering if there's anything I can improve or am missing out on. Feedback most welcome...

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...

I have a 2012 C4 Grand Picasso fitted with the standard radio head. It works fine for awhile then goes into mute mode, Sometimes it will clear by pressing the mute button on the steering wheel or radio head. If that dosen't work then unplugging the unit and leaving it unplugged for a couple of days fixes it. No codes need to be entered as it's the...

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody here could help me, maybe you have some experience in this area.

My wife is insisting that I get her old Clio hooked up with a Bluetooth system so that she can listen to music from her phone wirelessly in the car.

I don't really want to rush into having it done at a garage just in case there is a cheaper...

Ladies and gents, for all those who enjoy reading a picture book (step by step guide if you will), I've prepared a treat ... first, how to install a myway (RNEG) navigation in a car that previously only had just a regular radio unit (RD4) ... the other is replacing a myway navigation with the newer emyway (RT6) navigation ... no Citroen Service...

I have a 2009 C5 and honestly the navigation is crappy, even thou I have the last update on maps, lots of roads are missing, it's pretty hard to input the destination, I would prefer a touch screen version with all the bells that default navigation is missing. Mine doesn't have Bluetooth media, or even a USB.

Right now apart from radio, cd,...

hi Guy's
what do you all clean your inbuilt sat nav screens with.My screen when off looks all smeary and I don't know what to do. Thanks Guy's.

Hi guys
A little problem with my sat nav on a 2014 Citroen Dispatch van. I put in a replacement but I now have no power to the sat nav unit I can only believe that the fuse has blown. Any ideas as to the fuse location and its number.

thanks in anticipation

Hello all,

I have recently become the very happy owner of a 2009 Citroen C3 Picasso which comes with what research suggests is the RD43 head unit ( has USB/AUX; I haven't yet removed the unit to confirm). However, I would really like to have bluetooth functionality for handsfree calling and I know the RD45 is capable of such witchcraft.

I have...

Hi there, I have a C5 Mk2 facelift 55 plate and have the connections under the seat for a cd changer, (Non installed) Would really like to have USB and or Bluetooth connectivity.

Is there an ISO plug that connects to give such functionality please? (Got about 2000 tunes on a stick for the long journeys to Spain each winter!)

Thanks in advance....

Hi,

i can't enter distance to destination by pressing menu, there are just 2 options Alert log and Status of function
Distance to dest. is missing. What i do wrong?

Hi! I have a 2015 Citroen C4 Picasso puertech+ VTR. I have a problem receiving traffic announcements in our local area ,West Sussex I get BBC Berks witch is over 50 miles away , and random station around the country but not all , Citroen's answer is some units have no solution , trying to find out is this only my unit with this problem ore are...

Like many before me I'm interested to know what options I have, as the lack of mp3 capability is unforgiveable for a 2005 model imo.

I've seen what looks like my RD4 but also has MP3 capability but wonder if there's something better that's also a straight swap and retains all the integrated functions (steering wheel controls, menu selections,...

Hello everybody!
I've just want to replace my old radio ( RD4) to RT6 (RNEG2) with big display DG4.
Can anybody tell me how to connect the display? There is brown 12 pin connector and i don't have wires but only connector and pins.
Please for help or maybe diagram :D

Grateful for clues and tips

Hello,

I recently bought a Citroen C5 III from 2010. It has the radio from the attached image. I think it's the lowest variant because I don't have even the AUX-IN option.

I'm interested to find out how to install a 2 DIN aftermarket stereo (like one from Kenwood that has Android Auto). Has anyone did this? Do you know of any tutorial online or...

Hi Guys,

I have a question regarding connecting my iPhone 6 to my audio system in my Citroen C5 Exclusive 2005 model ( inc Sat Nav )

My previous car had a simple CD/Radio player installed with an auxiliary connection on the front to which I could connect a 3.5mm jack plug which in turn connected to a Belkin hands free kit which also charged the...

So I just got my new multi function light stalk replaced as the signal stalk was way too loose. I went through the instructions in Lexia to get the headlight stalk/steering angle sensor to mate with the car. Everything was great until I went to park my car for a few minutes and the center LCD screen now is stuck on the Citroen welcome street with...

Hello

Any ideas?

Does anyone have one of these fitted ? I installed a cheapo ebay one, the type that emulate the CD changer which I installed today with USB & SD card input. This is on an RNEG unit. It doesent display artist,album or track name info & will only show a maximum of 6 album folders (must think its a 6 disc changer), the tracks can be adjusted...

Hello,
I'm installing an amplifier (Audison Prima 8.9) in my C5 X7.
I'm trying to get a live feed from the battery to the amp, but I can't find any available spot (grummet) where to run the cable.
Is there a already available place where to run the cable, or do I need open a new one on the firewall?
Best regards,
AJ

This relates to the SMEG+ unit on a late 2015 build pre-facelift C4 Picasso. I know the unit is shared with the Grand Pic, Peugeot 3008 and 5008, Cacti various and probably many other PSA cars.

Mine is running on SMEG 5.4 A R3, I know there have been a couple of updates but I think they only address some Cactus issues and maybe android mirroring...

I've just bought a 2002 navigation system (JE-3002U(I)), but they didn't send me the loom (cable) connecting the JE-3002U(I) with the CR-Rom. I made all the other connections on the JE-3002U(I) , and the radio and CD player work great. I asked the local Citroen service to provide a loom, but they say it cannot be found. I couldn't find the loom on...

We have a Citroen C5 radio which has gone wrong and the computer won't work. We have now ordered a replacement radio from EBay. I just wanted to know about coding and whether anybody can point me in the right direction about this. As far as I understand, if we put the new radio in, it will work but not via the steering wheel controls. Is that...

Hello,

well ive only had the car since December and I'm bored with the radio. :roll:

it would be so much nicer with DAB, maybe the odd usb input socket
and definitely the addition of Bluetooth for hands free phone calls without all the
birds nest of wiring of external equipment cluttering up the dash and centre consul. 8-[

can anyone...

Has any one come across this and is there a solution?

Single factory fit CD player in Xreg Xantia.

Engine not running, insert CD and it plays. Start the engine and it stops - display shows time when it stopped, radio works fine. Engine running, insert CD, searches for first track but does not find it, gives up and spits CD out!

I guess...

Hello...
Who can enlighten me??
I have a question that I can't find anywhere and it is about the Wattage\RMS\Channels of the Amplifier. Does anyone know the Wattage\power\rms of the JBL amplifier that it is located in the back of the glove-box. And also the power used in all speakers???? It is for the Citroen C5 Mk2 (2004-2007 facelift).

Hi,
On my old car () I had fitted an Pioneer's AppRadio and I was very happy with that: touch screen and stuff. What are the possibilities upgrading my current R-neg (i think) navigation? I am not looking necessarily for an after market solution but maybe something from the newer car models.
In time I plan to do some upgrades to my car including...

Hello one and all,

having recently purchased a second hand 2003 C5 estate, and also having read a lot of comments about changing headlamp bulbs I am a little concerned about doing this even with a Haines Manual to assist. Mostly because advice given is to dis-connect the battery. I am reluctant to do this as I can find no reference to any radio...

I am putting this here but I think our Peugeot Friends may be able to help.
