Thank you Marc

It's all in my guide

Thanks mate

You may have a bigger problem going on here though - it may be the screen or the graphics chip in the head unit. So no guarantees. If you can't see what is going on when installing the firmware that is not going to help you very much, nor answering the questions when using Mira scripts to back up your user data files.

Are there any functions that...

See the Mirascripts Part B instructions in the first page of the post I linked to. It tells you how to write the data back.

You first need to unclip the light unit from the front side (nearest the windscreen) first using trim tools to compress the metal blades holding the light unit in.
Unclip the light unit connectors.
This will reveal 2 bolts inside the recess which you need to undo.
Then the outer pieces of the console (where the ultrasonic alarm sensors are...

Thx!

Yes, sorry abut that, I remember now that it's in the donating members' resources section.

Back to your question, yes, just unplug the USB and pop in your music USB. The Head unit will read it as normal.

Yes, that's about right for a diagnostic charge - they will hook the diagnostic up to PSA servers and check it manually afterwards.

Thank you for the quick answers.

Thanks Mark. Thats sorted then best left alone. will look into adding a DAB thing. Cheers You

RT6 was never fitted to the 407 nor intended to be, so don't expect it to work the same way.

No worries it's at the beginning of the RT6 Forum, located in the Telematics section:

How to Replace the Internal MicroSD Card - RT6

Ok thank you for your help

There's no SIM cards in an RT6.
Aftermarket units in most cases won't provide OEM functionality
Second hand units will be from PSA vehicles and will be configured for the donor vehicle and specifically for that vehicle's options. The units must be VIN coded to the new vehicle and be telecoded to reflect the correct options for the intended...

With V2.70 already installed, you shouldn't have any issues going to 2.86 directly, but it is always a possibility.

Thanks for the help, i will need to go to denmark via ship to update since my dealer is useless but that is neither here nor there :)

If you can't already find the info you need on the Forum, we do ask for a membership upgrade for official parts data as we are in turn charged for this. It will cover you for future parts requests for up to 2 years, so excellent value.

If interested, links are below, then pop your VIN up.

I’ve just managed to solve the same problem on my C3 Picasso RT6 system after five months of trying. The problem arose during an upgrade. I carried out the upgrade for France first which appeared to go OK. However the problem occurred when I tried the UK upgrade which paused necessitating switching off the engine. I ran the UK upgrade again a...

Hallelujah! Problem solved! I was on the point of sending my unit for repair to Cartronics but decided to try updating the France map which I had installed first in the process. I hadn’t given it a thought concentrating on repeating the U.K. and Ireland without success. I sat for 30 minutes with the engine running waiting anxiously and after a...

That wouldn't be much use here Paul - 'Lexia' becomes Dyslexia and Diagbox becomes Diagnose :roll:

I performed some reseaech about rneg2 and 307 restyle, i recognised that rt6 can2004 is perfectly fit my car.

My question is how can I identify the my rt6 is can2004 or can2010

There is a label on my rt6 , and it says
98 083 776 ZD-00

RT6 2.8

Hey, discovered that the unit was completely burned out and had to be replaced.

I thought so, just wanted to check. It's possible if you have been using MS that you may have changed some values...

One other thing, make sure on the RT6, that you turn OFF the option to 'Synchronise Time / Date with GPS' in the settings (make sure the option is NOT ticked). The GPS 'N Week Rollover' bug can cause incorrect calculation and...

thank you

Hi!

I thought I'd let you all know for future searches that it is in fact possible to upgrade from the 96 782 764 80 to the 98 026 557 80 unit. In my case I had to edit the VIN (obviously, that will be the case with any radio that you install) and the audio-config parameters from 2 (HiFiCAN) to 3 (Arkamys). I even didn't have to change the...

Been out of wifi access for a week, sorry. Ok, so what you mean if I understood correctly is that if I go to update Scandinavia again with the same 2020/2021 version I used, it should maybe completely overwrite the first 20/21 update I did?
That's exactly what I mean. I was going to this on my X7 but a new update came out and I used that instead....

It’s only a matter of them connecting up their Diagbox, running a test in internet enabled Mose and allowing the unit to be configured remotely. The technician just checks that the configuration and the system is functioning and you are done. By the way, make sure they apply the Bluetooth Echo fix whilst they are at it. It may be done as part of...

1) The RT6 units come ins several hardware versions - those that support a factory-fitted rear reversing camera are the later versions and those that do not. So ensure you get a compatible unit depending on your vehicle's original.
2) There is no Hard Drove in these units. It uses an internal micros SD for the operating system and the memory cells...

Thanks for the update. I'm afraid you're right about dealers and telematics - it really depends on who you get - but if there are issues they have full tech support from France and Head Office UK. They only farm out full telematics repairs (i.e. getting a Head Unit repaired) at the customer's request and this goes to a specific specialist like...

No worries, best of luck.

Hi! I’ve had the exact same issue with my rneg2. The sound every 30 sec is driving me crazy. Going to try and install a new stereo to see what happens. How did it go for you?

Have a look at my posts here:

If you don't have the system language menu coming up, this will be because it will need to be enabled and coded using Diagbox / or the dealer first, then the menus and Sat Nav will be available when you have your maps installed.

anyone tried this canbus?

Canbus :
Pug Harness :

or this?

Hi Matt, If you have an early facelifted model, I take it you have a touchscreen and the matching heater control panel (there's less buttons to the earlier Citroen DS5 models) you should also have a little storage pocket in front of the hand brake button too.
I think you have a SMEG head unit. I'm not sure how you can confirm which system you have...

So SETUP button, then you'll need to find you way around there as per the manual:

Look for 'Choisir la langue' or similar.

All I can tell you is that the suffix in my post is compatible with the RT6 camera.

Ok, forgot to mention that it sometimes reboot suddenly when doing tasks like hang Up phone calls or deactivate gps route.

Thanks for reply, i Guess it doesent hurt to try a new SD card. If it doesent work can I just put in the old card?

Thank you Marc

Sorry to hear, that I can not have parking camera installed in RT6 :(
-So if the seller would have sold me a correct model, this system would be possible to install into my car. Bad mistake from a professonal seller...

The rearmirror; maybe I give it a thought some day...

I would suggest that you may have an internal issue with a chip or corruption of the software.

Although there is a later update - if you are having issues now, I would NOT recommend you apply a newer firmware at this stage, as this is unlikely to resolve it and will actually cause you more problems. The 2.86 update is a major update and will 99%...

Yes, they will probably charge you for some diagnostic time. This will probably be about £90 for an hour roughly. If you specifically ask them to update the firmware and check the configuration afterwards, then they will have to do it via the PSA servers and apply any calibration updates necessary as part of it.

Just to add, the RT6 routing engine can be a bit dumb sometimes, I have the latest 'n' greatest versions and it still likes to do weird things (like go through the middle of a town when there's a perfectly good bypass).

Also here in Cornwall sometimes a white single track road IS the main road! :lol:

If coded by a genuine dealer diagnostic tool, they should supply the VIN of the vehicle and it will auto-set the majority of relevant settings for the vehicle.

The exception is perhaps the video camera, as Marc says earlier versions of the hardware did not support that.

Glad you have it sorted - we have the SD card replacement guide here on the Forum:

But glad it is working now.

Where did you purchase the update from? As Marc says, if you bought it from PSA then you would receive an update that is linked (in fact locked) to your vehicle. If this is the case then possibly you supplied the wrong VIN or map code to PSA.

I don't know for sure how the files are delivered for a legitimate download but I'm guessing it'll be a...

Only what I have suggested. There is a later firmware than that too - I think they are up to 2.86 now - but that has the same issue, along with a Bluetooth calibration that needs doing afterwards to stop the echo on phone calls after this update. Again, once applied it resets the Head Unit ECU on many vehicles are puts it in secure mode. A dealer...

Sorry I have just seen your reply.

I am from Australia so we do have a bit of a time difference. I appreciate you are in Australia, but I don't think anywhere in the world has a time difference of 10 days! :-D

Lexia / Diagbox is the software, but the clones are usually marketed as a Lexia 3 'kit'. Make sure it is a Full Chip revision 'C' unit...

Okay, thanks

Hi Marc
Once again thank you for your input
I hope to get the coding done ove the weekend

Steve
