C3 Picasso (radio beeping)

Post by Dswan »

I’ve had an issue with my C3 Picasso where the Bluetooth has stopped automatically reconnecting. I went to a Citroen Garage and was told it just needed an update. I spent £90 on the ‘labour’ after which they told me that my car was too old and couldn’t be updated…

Anyway, so I bought a replacement RD45 unit on eBay and swapped them over and it works beautifully with the Bluetooth auto-reconnecting as well.

I do now have an annoying beeping though, which I understand is because the ‘new’ RD45 radio needs to be told it’s Ok to work with my car?

I don’t suppose there is anyone with a Lexia and Diagbox (if that is what it’s called!) that could sort it out for me? I’m in Southampton. Or is there an easier/quicker way to sort this? I’m very reluctant to go back to the Citroen garage as they were particularly rude (and expensive).

The radios are VIN coded to the vehicle and you will get degraded performance unit the unit is coded using Lexia / Diagbox.
