When researching some LDS Fluid suppliers, I looked into one retailer Nielson CDG that Elis (EDC5) referred to me for comment. On looking at their description of the LDS, they were referring to Citroen as having 'Hydrolastic' suspension etc. - needless to say, I did contact them and explained the systems used by Citroen and the distinction between...

When the saga of my disintegrating clutch became a serious discourse on gearbox oils Nielsen's came up as recommended supplier of the appropriate spec. stuff. Nice people to deal with, although I eventually went elsewhere because while they were out of stock, I found an even better deal.

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.

Or you could follow my example and use the rear bumper as a tactile obstruction locator :( :twisted:

Haha, that's the backup option... I like it.

I'd choose option 1 or 2. There might be some delay before amp starts up, so 3 isn't reliable solution - at least if you're fast driver. :D

More power is always good! Eventhough you don't get...

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

Post script to previous reply re' upgrade RD4 to RT6.

If the Quadlock radio connector in your vehicle has section 'A' part of the connector (larger pins) blanked off with blue plastic inserts, these will need to be removed to accommodate the section 'A' pins of the RD4 to RT6 adapter. In my 2012 Peugeot 3008, having the adapter connecting to...

I certainly would not attempt the firmware upgrade without the screen working as it resets some parts of the RT6 and will require telecoding the options back in as reported in a few places when people lost some functionality. Also, if you have a version of Diagbox past 7.65 then the manual telecoding will have gone in some areas, leaving you stuck...

No because the RNEG system is only designed to see that connection as a CD Changer - hence the 6 Disc / Albums / Folders allowed as you've stated. The RT6 and NG4 have Hard Discs so have the jukebox facility, with the NG4 also having USB and SD Card for media too. RNEG uses different protocols and hence why a lot of people have upgraded it to the...

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,
