Xsara Picasso Cd/radio Swap

[Spiderman101]

hey guys. my wife has just got a 54 plate xsara picasso 1.6hdi.

The cd player mountings have snapped and the cd is stuck in there, so we have brought another unit from another picasso.

we have fitted it and it works but it bleeps every few seconds,

is there a way to make this go away?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

 

You need to get the replacement radio coded to your car. This will need a diagnostic using a Lexia tool at a Citroen dealer or elsewhere. Citroen radios are coded to the original car to which they are installed as a theft precaution and as you have found, fitting in a different car without being recoded will cause it to bleep. 

 

You could also consider repairing your old radio using parts from the replacement and then save the cost of recoding.
