Description
Connecting USB cable BOX – USB connector for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Length 640 mm
This OEM-style USB harness provides a reliable USB connection between the vehicle’s USB BOX module and the cabin USB socket. Designed for Citroën and Peugeot models, the cable supports both charging and data transfer for infotainment systems, phone integration and media playback. Durable 640 mm length makes it suitable for routing behind the dashboard or center console without tension.
Key Benefits
- Direct replacement for original USB harnesses used on Citroën/Peugeot vehicles.
- Supports data communication and device charging for infotainment head units.
- OEM fitment reduces installation time and ensures correct connector compatibility.
- 640 mm cable length for flexible routing and secure fastening behind trim panels.
Installation Guide
Replacement is straightforward for experienced technicians and competent DIYers. Typical steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits and to protect electronic modules.
- Remove the relevant trim or center console panels to access the USB BOX and existing cable routing.
- Unplug the old harness from the USB BOX and the cabin USB socket; inspect connectors for damage or corrosion.
- Route the new cable following the original routing, secure with OEM clips or cable ties, and avoid sharp bends or pinch points.
- Connect the harness to the USB BOX and the USB socket, reassemble trim, reconnect the battery and verify functionality (charging and media/data communication).

Recommendations For Installation
- Always disconnect the battery prior to disconnecting or connecting wiring to prevent damage to vehicle electronics.
- Use original routing paths and mounting points to prevent abrasion and interference with moving parts.
- Secure the cable with clips or cable ties and leave slight slack near connectors to avoid strain during assembly.
- Inspect connectors and mating sockets for corrosion or bent pins; clean or replace damaged components before assembly.
- After installation, verify both charging and data functions (phone recognition, media playback) on the vehicle infotainment system.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Mechanical Stress: Repeated bending or pinching behind trim and console panels can break internal conductors.
- Connector Wear or Corrosion: Moisture ingress or dirty environments can corrode contacts, causing intermittent connection or failure.
- Incorrect Routing or Fastening: Improperly secured cables can rub against sharp edges or moving parts, leading to insulation damage.
- Aftermarket Modifications: Non-OEM installations or frequent plugging/unplugging of heavy connectors can accelerate wear.
