Citroen c5 x7 original touch screen navigation?
As the title says am wondering if such thing exists.Think i read somewhere that it was available 2016 2017 models.My 2011 doesnt have navigation at all,so am wondering if i should try to find original one or go for android head unit.

Go for an Android Head Unit. The cost in finding the specific Touchscreen for this system and the SMEG Head Unit these days (it was relatively short lived on the X7 before end of production), plus all the parts required is prohibitive, as you'll need new switchblocks, a new fascia, a new centre console, and wiring, plus configuration of the ECUs etc...

I would have prefered something that fits more like original,but i guess android one will do.Found this android 10 unit which goes with trim included and fits nice.
Around 300e in my place.Seller said it comunicates with CAN bus so apparently you dont lose any functions like stearing wheel volume control,reverse camera,radio functions etc.Btw does anyone know longevity of these android units?

Best of luck - there's a lot of wiring, and just be prepared to lose some vehicle options, which may be a possibility as the RD4 is used to change some vehicle options.

You can buy a 7 inch 2 din android headunit. The plastic trim from the older cars is the exact size for a 7 inch screen. Look for a UIS7862 based headunit. If you don't mind waiting you can order one from AliExpress. Some sellers that sell them are : EKIY, NAVIFLY,MEKEDE,LoveNavi and srnubi.
Also the CANBUS adapter that works for the C5 X7 is Raise PSA-RZ-15.
