just bought 407 sport 2.0 hdi (07 plate)

[dustynet]

Hello all,

I am having a read around looking for an update for the sat nav on my 407. I have the colour screen nav system which works on its own without any cd needed. I think this is the RT4 model.

I would be hugely greatful if anyone could help me with the following questions:

How do I find out what version software the sat nav is running?
(press and hold menu for 2 seconds, select unit description, it will show the software version)

How do I update it to the latest version?

Are there any other recommended upgrades for any other features of the car e.g. phone, changer, mp3 playback etc?

The dealer I bought the car from on Sunday provided paperwork but no radio code. Since this comes with the Parrot BT kit I wanted to remove the BT kit but am wary that I may lock out the radio / nav etc...

Can anyone tell me if this can be locked out and I need a code?
(Coded to car - no code needed)

I begrudge paying a stealer or peugeot for something the car should have come with.

Many thanks

Your Radio is coded to your car , no code needed and Welcome

Thanks Betty. Thats a load off my mind.

Now I want to pull out this BT kit but again, my car didnt come with any radio removal tools. I can see a couple of holes on the front of the radio unit. Is this just the old coat hanger trick, or something more clever? Do I need a special tool to remove this in order to pull the plugs on the back of the radio?

I have contacted Peugeot to ask for this "free" nav update which I keep reading about on various forums. Can anyone tell me they have successfully had this delivered and what any terms or conditions are around this?
Im currently in the process of getting a royal run-around with Peugeot trying to obtain this.

My final question is : Can i upgrade the hard disk in the back of the unit to store more MP3s in the dukebox? What drives are used and is there any spec.

Cheers again

If the RT4 is the same as my standard head unit, then not a special tool, but definitely not the coat hanger trick! They are actually two small torx screws - you can either use a torx bit, or as I did, a small allen key to remove. Don't think they come right out, just a few turns to loosen (didn't take mine out anyhow). Then the unit will slide out as normal.

Hi, first you need to find out your current software version, press and hold menu, then scroll down to unit description, the latest software version for RT4 is 8.20 and is available to buy from the dealers, i don't think you get it for free, the one before it is 8.11.

To remove the RT4 you will need a torx T10 screwdriver, unscrew the screws on the side and pull out the headunit.

RT4 plays MP3 as standard.

Best regards
