sounds like a imobiliser fault and depending on the year yours maybe a canbus system which means swapping bits over/replacing/around isnt as straight forward . but anyway if you plug your diagnostic back in and go to live data that will tell you why it wont start

[jmkfoggo0754]

Its an 04 plate. When I got to live data it says it not compatible with your vehicle.

What do you suggest I try and do really need car for work

[coastline taxis]

remove the subwoofer and put the car/wiring back to normall. then check every fuse in the car followed by a bsi reset and see if the car starts. If it doesnt start then you will need a diagnodtic to see why.  Check the list on the forum there might be a member that can help you depending what area your in

How do I reset bsi

[Johndouglas]

Disconnect the battery for a short time - then reconnect.   However do it this way:-

 

Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off.
Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition.
Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds.
Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.).
Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.
Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality.
Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
Remove key open & close door test central locking system.
Start the engine and complete the system's check.
Reset the clock and date.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of some of the  BSI related items.

Youl need to get the car plugged into a diagnostic machine to see whats wrong

One other thought, as well as using a dealer type Lexia diagnostic machine, did you check the maxi fuses which are often hidden from view in the engine fuse box. I do not know what power the sub woofer is but possibly could it blow fuses or melt existing wiring or damage the radio. I may be wrong but I think the radios in Citroens are linked to the car bsi and faults with them may affect the car.
