Hello, I have looked for about 3 days for a way to identify my multimedia system or software system so that I can find an update/ map update. The car is a Citroen C5 Tourer from late 2015 to 2016. I know there are like 6 systems but I don't know mine, and my screen is the Touchscreen 7" with MirrorScreen based on the information I saw on citroen navigation but that's about it the VIN and pictures of the system are
Below
VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
What I basically want is information on how to get the software version. For example, holding down many buttons for 5 seconds, etc., obviously, I have tried that.
What DS5 Head Unit is this?

Re: What DS5 Head Unit is this?
You have a SMEG Head Unit.
To find the current firmware, hold the MENU button down for about 5 seconds and then select the system information option to see what firmware version you have. We don not supply map updates - you can get these from Citroen navigation:

Re: What DS5 Head Unit is this?
It's a SMEG Analogue Receiver. All you see on the fascia are the controls, but the unit is hidden behind the dash. Each vehicle has a different interface so can vary on how to access the info, but you should have a system menu somewhere buried in there that will do the same thing.

Sorry if I am a bit annoying but to be double sure, this isn't a smeg+ or smeg+IV2 only smeg?

If you have CarPlay already operational, then a SMEG+IV2. You vehicle was built November 2015, and vehicles from late November should of been fitted with the SMEG+IV2 version. Yours is an Analogue version, so likely won't have DAB.

Re: What DS5 Head Unit is this?
I know This is quite late and most likely will not be found, but... I completely gave up on updating my map because it was taking so long, but I wanted to remind the staff. I have tried to find my software version by holding down the menu for 5 sec and even longer, a system restart appears but no info pops up and no extra hidden menu comes forth in the selections when scrolling through all the options.
I would appreciate some help

It's probably an RT6 unit but a photo is certainly a help.DS5HDI180 wrote: 02 Jun 2025, 19:53 Hi mates im new member here. I got DS 5 2015 180 HDI. I need to know what head unit my DS 5 got?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Press the "MENU" button and then press and hold the "Settings" icon on the display for 3-5 seconds. This should give you access to system information.Alexander Martinitus wrote: 10 Jul 2025, 15:51 I know This is quite late and most likely will not be found, but...

Re: What DS5 Head Unit is this?
Hi, I'm not entirely sure what type of system I have either. I have the CarPlay menu on the display, but I can't activate it. It says "Contact your Citroen dealer to activate CarPlay". My VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. I have all these features activated on my 2nd C5 X7. Its VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].GiveMeABreak wrote: 09 Feb 2025, 14:08 If you have CarPlay already operational, then a SMEG+IV2.

Is it possible that the C5 X7, which cannot activate CarPlay and is newer than the second one, is an older type of system?
Thanks for any help.
