ds5 (2016) multimedia failure

Post by ds5user »

Hello, I have a 2016 model ds5. The multimedia is faulty. Nothing works on the screen. But the rear camera and the radio buttons on the steering wheel work. Image

You'll need to provide the VIN so I can determine which Head Unit was fitted (please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff).

Ok so you have the early version of the 'Analogue Connected Navigation' system. It's likely that the internal memory has failed.

Also, be aware that this vehicle has 3 outstanding after-sales campaigns on it! They are concerning the timing belt face parts to prevent premature failure and the other one is to do with the catalytic converter.

I suggest you contact your DS dealer and quote references: HQX, HCJ & GEX. The work will be free of charge, but I wouldn't leave it as if your timing belt goes early as a result - there will be much larger consequences.

HQX - Timing belt (Issued 26/07/2021)
Vehicle reliability and your safety are a major concern for CITROEN. As such, the manufacturer has asked us to replace the timing front face parts on your vehicle, if the vehicle reaches 60,000 km or 4 years in order to avoid any risk of premature wear.

HCJ - Timing belt (Issued 22/01/2021)
The operation involves replacing the timing front face parts.

GEX - Catalytic converter (Issued 13/03/2019)
The operation involves checking the exhaust catalytic converter, and rectifying it if necessary.

All showing as incomplete.
