If you are trying to fit this radio to a different vehicle, then you may find yourself with annoying BEEP every few seconds. As well as having a conventional Radio Security Code number, this stereo is also electronically paired, or "Married" to the engine management system of the vehicle it came out of using very sophisticated VAN-BUS system technology.

When it is first powered up, it will communicate with the vehicle, and if communication has been successfull, it will prompt for the Code number to be entered in the normal way.

However, if removed and refitted into a different vehicle other than the original one, it will not recognise the encrypted VANBUS identification of the new car, and will instead emit an annoying BEEP every few seconds.

This Radio cannot therefore be transferred from one car to another, unless it has first been reset back into its original "Delivery Mode" with the VAN-BUS data memory reprogrammed for use with the new vehicle.

Citroen Dealers may tell you that this stereo cannot be reprogrammed to go into another vehicle, but then thats what they said about other models, before we managed to reset the VAN-BUS system !!

We can reset this radio, turn off the annoying Beep, and return it with a Code number allowing it to be used in a different vehicle, but you will need to send the unit to our workshop for this work to be carried out. Approx turnaround time is 48 hours from receipt to dispatch.

Removal of the radio is fairly straightforward. The removal tools are inserted into the four round holes at the sides of the fascia until a click is felt. The radio can then be withdrawn and the leads unplugged.
