Hello all. I've just got my C4 VTR+ hatchback and it's a great car. Couldn't be happier. It's replaced my BMW 528 and getting 65mpg this morning on a long drag. Awesome.

 

A auick question though as I'm away this week and wont have chance to try it. Does the single slot CD player play MP3's?. I know the multi-changer does but cant find any mention of the single slot CD doing it.

 

Thanks

Depends if you have the JBL upgrade or not the standard system does not play mp3's though. So you can either get the 9706ag wire and plug in a standalone portable mp3 player or get an aftermarket headunit bout the only 2 options I can think of.

So, is the JBL upgrade a different radio, not the RD4? I just had a flash of insperation, if its the RD4 with another port deactivated (as the AUX is), can we speak nicely to Mr Citroen and get it enabled? (Long shot, i know)

Anyone know where we stand with CDRs in the Citroen fitted radio with respect to the warranty? My dad's Mondeo cd autochanger swallowed a CDR, and Ford wouldnt fix it under warranty, as they dont allow recorded CDs. Claimed they are slightly wider, whcih i have noticed, some are. They want £700 to replace his radio! And its not a standard size (6 CD autochanger and radio all in headunit), so he cant use the CD player unless he coughs up.

that sounds like a load of old b0ll0cks to me...if manufacturers cant design a product that will cope with what is a pretty standard item such as a CD then something has gone horribly wrong

My JBL upgrade kit plays mp3s in the front slot, but my Blaupunkt multi-changer won't recognise them although it's OK with CD-Rs in general as long as they're CD-Audio format. It doesn't mind playing second fiddle to the mp3 files in the front slot though.

 

Still, since you can get the approx equivalent of around 12 CDs in the front slot, even at a high quality rip rate, the ability to play a few "ordinary" CDs in the changer is somewhat academic.

 

I'm very pleased with the way the central dashboard display shows track details, artist, title etc (as long as you make sure your MP3 files have got the ID3 tags)

finally put my alpine in with ipod adapter, sounds good with original speakers nice having mp3 on head unit and abillity to change tracks on ipod :D ...................... bad news is that rear parking sensors dont work :o , so had to remove it all, now back to standard :D :D :( :(

Hmm strange the parking sensors didnt work. Might need to go to citroen dealer and get them to disable the stock unit so car isnt looking for it etc like KFK said might cure it and maybe use the official citroen cable that they have for putting in new units.
