Ok, well from your VIN, you don't have a factory fitted telematics system, (no satellite navigation, phone or colour screen). According to your VIN your car was fitted with an RD45 system only.

So I can't help you as whatever system has been installed, it has been done by somebody else (probably the previous owner) if not yourself and I have no idea what has been fitted.

If you could post some photos it might be possible to identify it from that. Photos showing, especially, some of the menus.

As I mentioned in my PM to you - that is not a PSA model - it's some aftermarket Android thing that has been retrofitted - as your original system was an RD45 with monochrome screen. None of the PSA units have that screen or info.

Secondly, the C5 X7 was not fitted with the 7" Touchscreen system until 2014 minimum and that was a SMEG / SMEG+iV2

Nearly every result from a Google search seems to be about Japanese health monitoring but I did find this YouTube video about an Audi A3 with what looks like a similar system. Perhaps this would help with a contact name or other details?
