C5 firmware

[andyjm66]

Hi all....I'm new here so bear with me. I have just got a c5 tourer and have been trying to update the firmware for the radio/ nav system. The only way I have found to do this so far is thru citroen website but that is for maps and they want to lighten my pocket by 85 quid. Am I looking at the right thing or is there something else I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance

For this model this is where you obtain the maps:

If a firmware upgrade is required it can be ordered from the dealer on USB or CD depending on the system you have.

I'm assuming that you have the eMyWay (RT6) system as your car year is close to mine.

The map data downloads are available as a legal download for anyone. Europe maps used to be updated twice a year but as of 2024 will no longer be updated. The links below are the final releases.

2022-1 Maps. This contains the final updates for Central Europe, Eastern Europe North East. Scandinavia, South East Europe and Eastern Europe North West.

2023-1 Maps. This contains the final updates for Italy, France, Spain/Portugal, Benelux, United_Kingdom and Germany ONLY. NO other areas.

I will send a PM to you regarding what to do next.

Awesome... thankyou

I would strongly advise you not to update your firmware unless essential. Be warned that depending on the existing version you originally have, if it is earlier than V2.86, then there is a high risk that updating it may leave your vehicle with half the options missing and in an unconfigured state.

Before you update your firmware, read my guide here to back up the user settings following Part A of the Mirascripts part only, This will at least ensure you have a copy of the user data files before hand.

Hello Paul,
Looks like I could use some help too with the navigation update of my C4 Grand Picasso. I dont have the files but I don't know if I should update my SMEG+ 5.15 first ?

[Paul-R]

Basically, only if you're having a problem of some kind. Are you?

[Solarriors]

Hello Paul and thank you for the quick reply. I was away this weekend with my Gd. C4.
So I have the SMEG+ 5.2, from 01.08 (august 1st) 2015.

I extracted the files you provided on a FAT32 32GB USB stick along my serial ID and activation code. The issue occurs before the beginning already: the files are not recognized. There's no way to update the maps or the firmware.

My problem is the occasional freeze in the Citroen boot up logo.

[Paul-R]

If you've downloaded the files in my post, third one down, then these are only for updating the maps. There is nothing there to update the firmware.

The issue occurs before the beginning already: the files are not recognized.

What is the exact error message you get?

[Solarriors]

I will try to take a picture, but I also can't update those maps the USB stick not being recognized. (I have an activation code)

[Paul-R]

Can you put the pen drive back into a computer and then do a screen shot of the contents?

Also, does your car have two USB sockets? If yes, only one will be suitable for updating.

[Solarriors]

Hello Paul,

My C4GP has two USB sockets.
There are two things I'm trying to do.
- Update the firmware. I have no start point for this. My dealer said support has been discontinued and they don't offer updates anymore, suggesting getting a new car...

- Update the maps. This I'm starting from the files you provided above, my serial ID, activation code. USB stick is simply not recognized.
Here the requested details of the USB stick. (one for each update package). Placed on Root folder.
