Hi all,

Had a search but though worth a new post. My 2009 C5 X7 MFD is doing what they commonly do and becoming unreadable.

Looking here:

My Johnson Controls MFD is one of the better ones, but it's still knackered. Has anyone else dug into these units to see if can solve the underlying cause? Have seen mention of adding computer fans etc, but...

4 speaker radio CD player that came with the car and working ( apart from not liking some cd's ) untill it refused to work.

Power lead to unit ok, I inserted a cd, and it ejected it electrically.

It just does not want to power up as if the screen had died.

It's fuse is all good.

Wrong code problem it is not.

Any ideas ?

Any common faults on...

Hello all new to the forum

I have a DS4 Crossback 2016 with smeg iv2 (SMEG6.4.A.R10) factory installed and want to enable notifications like the ones in the link if possible:

Can this be done via diagbox at all? Or can anyone local to Stoke or Manchester enable for me will pay :)

Many thanks

Hey Guys!

I’m facing a problem that at first seemed to be na easy one, but the more I try to sort it out, the more it gets confusing.

I bought a 2001 Xsara vts and the last owner had a Pioneer stereo fited, the stereo is fine but I wanted to replace it with the original one. The thing is that the person that installed it didn’t make a very...

Did anyone had issues with the GPS antenna?!? It can be repaired or needs to be replaced? How do I take it off? It's difficult? Thanks for your help!
PS: my car is Citroen C5 MKIII Tourer.

VIN - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

I updated the SMEG+ head unit system to firmware version 5.43.A.R2 a couple of years ago, and I know that it's meant to be connected to Diagbox by a dealer to have the configuration file updated (via a live connected version of Diagbox)
(I heard it has something to do with Bluetooth,...

I recently bought a Citroen C5 exclusive ( 180 hp ) registered in 2017 ( probably made in 2016 ). I have touch screen infotainment system and I've found the settings menu ( where you can do the factory reset and such ) but how can I find out what firmware version it's running ?
From a little digging that I've done online it seems it might be a...

Hi All,

New to owning a french car. I needed a run around and managed to grab a 2009 C3 1.4 diesel for a reasonable price. It’s not perfect but it gets me A to B.

When I picked it up, I noticed the stalk didn’t work for the menu etc and the only thing in the display was my range. The aftermarket stereo didn’t work so I took it out and managed to...

Folks
I have a recently acquired 2104 C1 airscape. Do you any of you know how I can get the touch screen mirror link function to work? It would be great to project Google Maps onto the screen.

Hi everyone,

I hope I could maybe get some help on this? I bought a used 2015 C1 which had issues with the USB and have had the head unit replaced under warrenty and now the USB is working. I can plug in a USB stick and it finds the music on it and it will now charge a phone from the port.

In the manual it says that it supports MirrorLink and...

The RT6 on our 2012 C5 has died and I was thinking of replacing it with this Android unit

I am aware that it was easily installed in another C5, but I understand the factory Philips amp (in the boot) of our car would cause problems. Has anyone overcome this problem? Install aftermarket amp instead?

Hi, we are changing my daughters head unit on her 2016 car to the same unit from a 2019 car. Can anyone assist with the coding please

Having problems with my LCD screen. One day half the screen just randomly disappeared. Had been for a couple years now. Had a few people look at it all said they whole screen needs replacing. However, when getting a bulb changed in my front lights, when turning the engine back on the screen appeared like nothing had happened. I mean it was faulty...

Hi all,

First post here - hope somebody can help!
I have a 2014 208 Gti with a SMEG touchscreen, which developed the dreaded 'continuous reboot' problem. I had been toying with the idea of upgrading to a Pioneer SPH-EVO62DAB-208 unit for a while, and decided to take this as the opportunity to finally do so. I have loosely fitted the Pioneer unit...

Hi, My 2016 3008 1.6 Blue Allure 120 HDI Automatic's GPS satnav has just started playing up. The GPS shows 8 or 9 satellites and all is well...then the satellites disappear and the satnav map just floats? Any ideas anyone?

Hi guys.

I have a 2012 Peugeot 208 1.6 eHdi and recently my sat nav just star saying I'm in a totally different location. When I check my GPS coverage it comes up as Satellites visible: 11 and Satellites in use: 0

Hi, has anyone fitted an aftermarket android radio to a 407?
I had a berlingo with an aftermarket kenwood unit that supported car play and all the other useful modern amenities, i found it very handy.

The 407 i have now is a 2005 and has the RT3 system which is very outdated. No 407 ever supported car play which rules out looking for a later 407...

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...

Hi guys,

I've just become the proud owner of a C5 VTR 59 plate.
Problem is, the radio and connected items do not function. I've looked at the fuse to no avail and pressed the dark button for 15 seconds.
I've googled this extensively and in sorry to say, I'm getting no where, hence the post.
I've seen videos about the ECU overheating etc, but...

Last week I started a post seeking a Lexia to re-programme the VIN coding of a second-hand replacement RadioCD unit, as my original unit is faulty. However, I have investigated alternatives as follows.

1. Install a second hand RadioCD RD3 unit (Clarion PU-2472B(J) - taken from a 2003 C5 2.2HDi ExcSE) and use a member's or dealer's Lexia to...

Hi All,

Just got a 2013 DS5. I love the car and love the functions but wish it had CarPlay. I have a double din radio that I have from in my old car that is CarPlay compatible.

Anyone know of any dash surrounds, harness etc to allow for replacing the radio? I would like to keep the reversing camera, rear parking sensors if possible. I would...

Was this already here?

I´ve just ordered usb-obd2-dongle and adaptor-lead for that. Hopefully will be testing this out later this year on my 2015 ZOE.

Hi there, I'm buying a used ds3, I love the ds3 but also love android auto. The ones I've found is a 65 plate media nav or 66 plate elegance with no nav.

Is there anything I can do before have to take it to a garage?

Thanks

Hello all,

I've just got a 2017 DS5 and was struggling with the touhscreen/phone connection. I looked at the DS phone compatibility page and it said updating to the latest touchscreen software may increase compatibility with your phone The software version of the touch screen says is V7.3.1 and looking in the list of phones mine is listed in...

Hi All,

I think I know the answer to this question #-o BUT!

What's the correct procedure for fitting a non-Citroen radio in place of the one originally provided?

I'm assuming: disconnect the battery, lift out the old one, attach connector adaptors to the new radio (if necessary), fit into the slot, reconnect the battery.

I know that the radio...

Seen this guy on Peugeot forum talking about receiving notifications for incoming SMS and e-mails on his NAC Wave2 in P308.
At an incoming message this circuled page flashes green (like when you have a major engine fault). You can't answer the mail/SMS from there, as it serves as notification only.
Tried to set the same in my DS5 with retrofitted...

I wonder if anyone can help me

Just bought a DS3 Crossback and loving the car - But I had a message on the DS app saying there was an update for the screen. I did the update and now I have no navigation. It just says something like Map Initialization error or similar and wont work

Any Help appreciated

The radio in the car is working but beeping every couple of seconds. There's a new battery in the car. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need a new radio?

I have just bought a 2016 C5 Tourer which has a Touch Screen to control the radio, sat nav and other settings.
I haven't spent ages on it but it keeps cutting out and re-booting. Quite frustrating when you are listening to the radio and/or following directions.
The car is under a 1 month warranty so I was planning to go back to the garage but...

Hello,

I have a C5 tourer 2008 and some issues with my radio. Firstly, there seems to be a issues with the cables connected to the radio which results in the right speakers doesn’t play. The funny part is that the right speakers can suddenly start to play for a couple of seconds. If I bring out the radio and put the right pressure on the cables,...

Hi, i have 2008 auto 2013 and its radio went dead. I bought another one from salvage which was taken out from a 2016 model but its constantly beeping.

Have a 2013 Citroen DS5 and the satnav screen has gone crazy.
All of a sudden the screen either doesn’t come on or I get half a screen working (left hand side). The radio works fine but if the screen is blank you cannot change digital Chanel.
Does anyone have a clue? Citroen have said they can run a diagnostic for £125 but even they had no idea

Afternoon! Just joined the forum, and have recently bought a lovely Citroen C5 HDi 2005 (Facelift version)

Since picking it up, I’ve noticed that the radio occasionally likes to try and change the source to CD, then it changes back to Radio after a few seconds… (as there’s no CD in it!) it doesn’t happen all the time but it’s a bit annoying…...

Hi,

I have a new Android auto car stereo touch screen and the ISO adapter from Citroën but the radio doesn't switch ON.

I was told that would be easy to connect it but the colours connections don't match the wiring diagram that I have.

By any chance anyone knows this:

... connect the units like this way: ACC (red) is connected to the ignition...

This is most likely an old question, but I have failed to get a good answer on it.

My newly acquired C5 X7 has presented me with a bit of a puzzle. As per Citroen's usual satnav non conformity to postcode input, I have a Garmin Nuvi 2569 that I used on a previous motor that I tried to work from this week. The only USB port that I can find in the car is in the centre console which I had a usb stick plugged into with my music...

Hi there,
I’ve got a problem with my DS3 screen but only inside Apple CarPlay which leads me to think it is a software issue. I got it diagnosed by Arnold Clark but I don’t trust it very much at this point as they said the unit was damaged... how, if it works fine for everything else (apart from sensors, of course...)? They said 700 for...

Hello guys, as in the title my radio suddenly stopped working. I can connect via bluetooth and take calls but thats it. I was at a citroen shop and they tested everything and said that the power delivery and everything else was fine and that the radio is ok, but the radio wont turn on.
