Compatibility
This unit is commonly fitted to a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Compatibility is typically identified by the PSA part numbers listed below; buyers often search by these codes when sourcing the part.

Installation & Coding Requirements
After physical installation the unit must be coded to the vehicle using a diagnostic tool to ensure full compatibility with the car’s electronics and to restore functions such as radio recognition and steering wheel controls. Typical installation steps include disconnecting the battery, removing dashboard trim, swapping the head unit, connecting the vehicle wiring harness or adapter, securing the unit and performing diagnostic coding. If uncertain, have a professional perform the coding step to avoid functionality issues.
Function And Common Faults
The unit provides standard factory radio functions with CD playback and an easy-to-read display. Common causes of failure for these head units include mechanical wear of the CD mechanism, moisture ingress, intermittent electrical connections, antenna or wiring issues and blown fuses. Electronic failures or software/configuration mismatches can usually be resolved by correct diagnostic coding or addressing the vehicle’s wiring and power supply.
Lifespan And Maintenance
Service life depends on usage and environment: CD mechanisms are mechanical and more prone to wear over many years, while electronic components can fail from moisture or voltage spikes. Regularly checking connections and keeping the unit dry prolongs service life.
