Ds 4 2010 audio denon does not work

Unread post by AsH7 »

Hi guys , i am new here and i have a problem with my citroen ds4 denon audio system.

So i've been to many oficial citroen workshops and alot of services , nobody knows how to repair my Citroen speakers .
I've been send the cd unit to a test and works perfectly , ive been replacing the amplifier with an original aftermarket one and still doest work .

I've been reading that if one speaker doest work the entire unit will not turn on , so i need to check every speaker resistance . Lets say that i'll find one speaker that doest work and need replacing , do i really need an original one ? I cant use and aftermarket one with same specs ?
Also ive been reading that for some reason i cant use an aftermarket amplifier , is that right ?

If does help ill post a picture with the car radio

Incidentally, your vehicle has an outstanding After-sales campaign outstanding from October 2024: The Airbag needs replacing, so book it in at a dealer to get this done. The work will be free. Quote reference JGU.

JGU - C3 (A51), DS3, C4, DS4, DS5 - Airbag

Replace airbag module according to following rework instruction.

Ok so RT6 system with Hi Fi Amp. This is a CAN amplifier, so is intended to work with the CAN data network of the vehicle. An aftermarket system may not interface with the RT6.

The system takes the 2 audio outputs from the RT6 and splits these into 8 amplified outputs with the HiFi option:

2 outputs for the front woofers
2 outputs for the front tweeters
2 for the rear tweeters and woofers connected in parallel
2 outputs for the bass acoustic enclosure

Err.... not surprising it's not working to be honest....
ive been replacing the amplifier with an original aftermarket one
When you say this, surely you would have connected the replacement amp up correctly when you replaced it? I'm confused.
