Fading display in the heat (2009 X7 computer info. display)

I have owned this car for 3 years. Each year the display (in the centre of the dashboard) has become more and more faded on hot days. This year the display has vanished, except on dull days or at night. Putting a reflective sheet inside the windscreen does not work - it is the hot inside of the car rather than direct Sunshine that is the problem....

Citroen Dispatch radio - BSI reset?

Hi, hoping for some advice. My Citroen Dispatch van has the RD$ radio unit. Since I bought it second hand last week, the radio is completely unresponsive, no buttons do anything and it does not turn on,. The time on the multifunction display is flashing, & the date is 2007. Units are metric. The fuel economy readout, distance left in tank etc. are...

Hi (Andy?) and welcome.

You probably have the standard RD4 Head Unit. My first thoughts are that the previous owner may well have had a third party unit installed and possibly may have put the original unit back in before selling it on.

I would first double check the wiring harness at the back of the unit is full and properly connected (always...

As far as I am aware the SMEG +IV2 will work with a C5 X7 (which uses CAN2004) architecture as the later X7 had touchscreen units available about 2015/16.

I've not heard back from you so assume you have it sorted - there is no native bluetooth supported system on the MK II, without a third party unit like a Yatour or similar - but this has basic functionality, track info, titles or anything - just track numbers listed like a CD changer would.

Yatour bluetooth receiver works as music streamer and handsfree. It is connected to cd-changer port and you can change tracks from steering wheel. It costs around 70€.

iPhone Connection for C5 2005

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...

He said the Aux AUDIO does not shut off, only the video which is correct.

Multi function LCD stuck on Citroen welcome screen or asking for CD-Rom after battery disconnect

by AlvinCitroenC5 » 14 Jul 2017, 14:53

First post

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...

Citroen c4 (b7) navi problem

Hello

Any ideas?

Last post

Hi Amir and welcome to the Forum. There could be 3 possibilities I can think of at present:
1) The graphics chip in the Head Unit / the Head unit itself.
2) A damaged wire between the Display unit and the Head Unit (they are extremely fragile).

I assume you replaced the Display screen with the exact correct model, as there were 2 variants, but...

USB music box

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...

Last post

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...

That's an RD2 Gibbo. Same as my old MKI SX - I had the CD Changer under the passenger Seat. I set this thread up to help those with RT3s like Demag's C5 with the RT3, where you have to be careful with the Firmware updates. :)

Live feed from battery in C5 X7

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

Good luck with getting the amp sorted and enjoy the holidays.

SMEG+ nav and traffic, questions and a bit of a rant

by Richard_C » 02 Mar 2017, 13:13

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...

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...

CD player only works when the engines not running!

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!

You haven't happened to buy the same car, exported to Portugal by any chance have you? does seem a very unlikely/uncommon fault and both recorded incidences are in Xantiae... Is your car right hand drive? Perhaps the paperwork would show if/when it was imported?

Otherwise, all I can offer is either try all the cleaning/checking of proper wiring...

I've had a good response from Citroen UK HQ on spec/tech queries. They will have documentation for this OE-fitted unit, and will probably send you a copy of its spec sheet if you request it.

Upgrading Navigation/Audio Player (Citroen C5 2009)

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...

You need to be aware that there are various revisions of the same audio systems RD4 for example that support different functions. Same for the camera, it wont qork just plugging it in without the right unit. Also with the parking sensors, you need to have the right ECU, as there are several types that support the rear front / rear/ camera modes...
