That's pretty much it - the Chinese simply don't use TA, which is a feature of RDS that retunes your radio for the duration of the traffic announcement.

They want to hear traffic news, they tune into Shenzen Traffic 106.2, or whatever their local station is. RDS just isn't widely used in China.

Hi, it's very likely to be the RD4 Head Unit. The fact that you're getting bluetooth calls is because there is a separate Hands-free module installed which handles the bluetooth side of things that talks to the display screen.

Hi guys,

The factory rd45 radio does not show the callers name, when somebody calling me. After I press “yes”, on the display I can see the name of the caller, as it saved in my phonebook….

But I dont know before, I wanna answer or not.. :))
Originaly was a rd4 in the van. I swaped it to a rd45+screen type c.

Berilngo 2010 Van.

Thanks any...

They re NOT all the same and the MFD has an ECU inside it that controls the Head Unit (RD4 / RD45). If there are incompatibilities between these there will be errors. Some units are for RD4 systems, some for RD4 with Hands-free kits and some are for RD45 units. Further, there are different levels of the Head units to make things more complicated,...

RD45 - default audio source

by defix » 23 Oct 2024, 12:13

First post

Hi Gents,

I have RD45 in my C5, working fine with BT, but the one thing that driving me crazy is that every single time I need to change the source to Bluetooth, because it starts with FM radio.

I'm aware that this might be awful design (I had 2x Renaults before C5 and headunit always stayed on the last used). Is there any way to change this?...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this. Well, I need to live with this :)

I have seen videos of at least one Android head unit that replicates (at least the basic) settings functions, e.g. clock setting, lighting control and display brightness control.
As the supplier to find out if such things are supported for your model car, and if an additional interface box is required.

Hello.
I have a 2008 C2 with the RD4 radio (with the 6 grey buttons and the TA/PTY button) and the 'Type A' Multi Function Screen. I've never really been a fan of the mfd as although it's fairly big it doesn't really show much without having to press the end of the stalk all the time to cycle. I would like to be able to have more info on screen...

Hi, thought i'd do a quick update. The type c display arrived today so I went out and installed it to make sure it works. Seems to be fine. All functions present and correct from previous type a with the only difference I can see is the bluetooth function which of course my rd4 radio doesn't support.

Apologies for raising a post from the dead,...

And some of the info was either conflicting or didn't make sense. So I'm just leaving my findings here for anyone to stumble upon in the future.

RD4 to RD45 upgrade. Antenna issues

by freddyokel » 06 Apr 2024, 18:23

My 2008 207cc has an RD4 and an EMF-C with v51.?? firmware.
Got an RD45 in the post this morning and an EMF-C with the later firmware is arriving next week.
Thought I'd give the RD45 a go and the first obvious thing is that the RD4 (and the loom) have White and Grey antenna connectors and the RD45 has just the White.
Connect the RD45 and the White...

Last post

Single antenna (White) is working just fine now, it just doesn't receive as well as the RD4 (dual antenna) does.
On another note, I can maybe put to bed the rumour that an RD45 needs an EMF-C with a v72 firmware.
Mine (from a scrap 2013 C3 Picasso, not China) is working fine on a v71.3 EMF-C from a 2009 308.

I can't confirm that the wiring will be there or not, sorry as it's generally a factory-fit option on order. Harnesses are different according to optional equipment fitted and in this case you already have a different harness because of non-automatic A/C and no Parking assistance. I'm not saying that this will mean you don't have the wiring there,...

Hi,

I have replaced a radio in a Peugeot 207 with a radio from a Citroen C3. It powers up and plays the radio fine, but is constantly beeping every few seconds as it needs programmed.

I have an Autel that I tried but it can't do it, does anyone know what diagnostics will be able to program the radio to this car?

If you have AUX fitted at factory it will be in the Glovebox.

The RD4 came in 2 versions mono and dual tuners, which determined the number of inputs it could handle. IF you didn't have the AUX fitted at factory, then there won't be the connector in the glovebox and it won't be enabled in the BSI. It has to be enabled in the BSI to be available in...

There is no radio code. The radios are VIN-coded to the vehicle.
