Description
Antenna for CITROËN C4, C5, C8, PEUGEOT 308 and others. Available to buy from us as a set with a mast.
This roof antenna is designed for Citroën and Peugeot models and provides reliable AM/FM reception and radio signal pickup for vehicles specified below. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, the unit matches common original equipment part numbers and is often searched by OE codes 9655613780 and 6561Z9. The compact, service-friendly design makes replacement straightforward and helps restore weak or intermittent radio reception caused by a damaged or corroded aerial assembly.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën / Peugeot
- Model: Citroën C4, C5, C8; Peugeot 308 (and other compatible models)
- Product Codes: 9655613780, 6561Z9
- Additional Numbers: No additional numbers provided
Function
The antenna picks up radio signals (AM/FM) and transmits them to the head unit via a coaxial lead. On some vehicle versions the antenna may include an amplifier or integrated mast; on others it is a passive aerial mounted to the roof or rear quarter. Proper electrical grounding and sealed mounting are essential for consistent reception.
Fitment And Replacement
This part is intended as a direct replacement for the original antenna assemblies used on the listed Citroën and Peugeot models. It is commonly referenced by OE numbers 9655613780 and 6561Z9, which customers use when searching for compatibility.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid short circuits and protect vehicle electronics.
- Remove the mast or aerial rod if fitted. Unscrew or unclip the antenna base from the roof/wing and carefully disconnect the coaxial connector inside the trim area.
- Inspect the coaxial cable, connector and grounding point. Replace any corroded or damaged components to ensure good electrical contact.
- Fit the new antenna in reverse order, ensuring the seal or gasket sits correctly to prevent water ingress. Torque mounting fasteners to manufacturer specifications where applicable.
- After installation, reconnect the battery and verify radio reception and any amplifier power supply if present.
- Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging interior panels when accessing the connector.
Why The Part Most Often Fails
- Corrosion at the base or connector due to water ingress and degraded seals.
- Mechanical damage from impacts, car washes or vandalism (broken mast or cracked base).
- Wear or breakage of the coaxial cable or connector leading to intermittent signal loss.
- Failure of an integrated amplifier (on active antennas) due to moisture or electrical faults.
- Poor mounting or loose ground connection reducing reception quality.
Typical failures are related to environmental exposure and mechanical stress rather than electronic aging, so inspect seals and mounting points during routine vehicle maintenance. For workshops, replacing the antenna assembly and addressing any corroded wiring or connectors usually restores full radio function.
Additional Notes
Sold as the aerial assembly; an optional mast/rod can be purchased as a set. Customers frequently search using OE numbers 9655613780 and 6561Z9 when looking for this part.
