C4VTS Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I will soon be getting a C4VTS with JBL HiFi and Bluetooth installed by factory. Will this play MP3's ? Brochure states MP3 is not possible with Bluetooth, but is this something I can get changed by dealer programming if I don't want to use the Bluetooth function, or is it a hardware issue ? Am I just going to end up with a 9706AG cable ? Quote
kfk Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 No it isnt possible to have bluetooth and MP3 in one set........regards configuring it to use the lead.......never been asked so i dont know yet.....and seeing as the radio is a JBL unit and different to the others there's no reason to assume it will be the same.

C4VTS Posted June 22, 2006 Author Posted June 22, 2006 ...and seeing as the radio is a JBL unit and different to the others there's no reason to assume it will be the same. The way I see it, the JBL radio looks the same as in any other UK model C4 I have seen, apart from the JBL logo, and in my case, the Bluetooth logo. I thought the JBL bits was just the amplifier under the front seat, and subwoofer in the boot. I will ask the dealer when I get the car. Thanks :D Quote
wozza Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 JBL gives you extra speakers plus the sub and will need a different headunit to work most problably due to the extra speakers and sub etc for it to give the right signals although knowing its a standard fit sub it probably takes its line input from the rear speakers. Also makes it more problematic in future should you wish to add an aftermarket system. Quote
C4VTS Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 How good is the basic radio fitted as standard, and is it replaceable with an aftermarket unit, such as Sony, and is there adapters to make it work with the Citroen steering controls ? Quote
Welshguy Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 The basic stereo quality is actually very good, and I suspect you will benefit even more because of additional speakers in the JBL package. Both myself and Wozza have Alpine systems, and although I can't speak for Wozza - the quality of mine is excellent. After-market steering wheel controls are being developed currently but expect to pay close to £100 for them. :D Quote
wozza Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Sent InCarTec an email yesterday gave me a timeframe within 3 months and will let me know when its ready for an adaptor that will cover all makes of headunit should cost around £40 as well so bonus! The standard system is quite good and its quite easy to go aftermarket the door skins are easy enough to get off its 4 screws basically. But the good thing is the standard speakers are 6.5inch ones so you can get some nice new ones if you want to upgrade. Installing a new radio is easy as well. And I have a 9855R unit in mine was Alpines flagship model and it does sound amazing when its up. But im wanting new components up front again so they will be getting purchased soon when i have some psare cash. Quote
dave&trace Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 we have had 2 C4 both with JBL our current head unit is the RT3 version which is different but the first C4 had the same head unit that is fitted in all C4 `s the head unit is the same the JBL is a software turn on an amp under drivers seat a base box in boot and uprated speakers .
