Hi There,
Please can anyone help, I have my daugters birthday in a couple of weeks and she wants a new bluetooth radio installing, but also wants the original stalk radio controls to still work. I understand that there is an adaptor for this but I am not sure which radio and which adaptop to buy. Can anyone recommend a suitable radio, budget is £30-£40.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately the stalk adapters aren't far off £30-40 on their own.

If it's a facelift 307 you'd need the canbus adapter, or if it's a pre-facelift you'd need the vanbus adapter. The steering adapters are specific for the stereo manufacturer too, i.e. if you fit a Pioneer stereo to a facelift 307 you'd need a specific Peugeot canbus to Pioneer steering wheel adapter.

Best option is to keep standard radio and get her a usb box fitted to the aux input that would need enabled but that will play music from a stick.

If its for the phone i would get a parrot but as above you wont be able to do what you want for £40.

If you do swap the radio and its a facelift model you wont be able to change the clock !

Hi ChrisHolt813

You don't say what you want to achieve by adding the Bluetooth interface ?? Also it would be useful to know what the current Radio is in the Car. I am guessing that as it is a 2005 model that it is most likely an RD3

Do you want a Hands Free Mobile facility or just play Bluetooth streamed music through the existing Radio.

If you just want to stream music there are several add-on black boxes that can be plugged into the Radio to give you this capability. They use the CD Changer input on the Radio and allow you to use the existing controls to play music. Look at the Yatour or Connects2 units as an example. Some have Bluetooth for streaming and support music loaded on memory cards. Some can also be used as a Hands Free solution.

There are also some units that just plug into the AUX input and you just stream music from the mobile but all the controls stay on the mobile.

In all cases you will probably need someone to enable the CD Changer or AUX input on the Radio using the Peugeot DIAGBOX diagnostics software/interface. Depending on where you are located there are a number of people who can provide this service without having to pay a Peugeot dealer a fortune !!

307 CC Change Radio

Well a big thanks to you all for your replies, I really appreciate your help.

As an update to some of the queries, She wants to be able to play music from her IPhone via bluetooth and retain the ability to use her steering wheel stalk controls.

I realise that my budget was too low to achieve want i want so I am happy to go to £100 all in, if that's possible.??

Some people are asking about what type of radio is currently fitted, there doesn't appear to be any manufacturer on the front but s sticker on the side says its a siemens VDO so I have uploaded a few photo's to help identify the current radio.

I also don't know if this is or isn't the facelift model (don't know the difference) but it was registered 18/04/2005 and has a variant no 3BRFN, Version 3BRFNC, does that help me to tell if its a facelift version or not?

 

[reliable406]

Thats a pre facelift radio facelift radios are totally different so that makes life easier for you

Thank you, That at least clears that one up.

 

[reliable406]

Im not really sure if you can do as she wants to be honest

There is a way of using the aux input to play music from her phone if it has a headphone socket this is a cheap option but you cant control the phones playlist with this

There is also a box called yatour or some other similar boxes that play music from a stick or memory card this can be controlled by the radio but bluetooth may be a problem.

thank you,

Further investigation is leading me down the path of trying to fix a bluetooth adaptor to the original head unit. this would seem to be less complicated.

I have seen this on ebay, anyone know if this will work and or have any experience of fitting and using one

Yes thats what im on about but im sure it can be got cheaper than that as long as its for an RD3 radio it will work but i believe there is 1 problem RD3 1 of the clarions that wont talk to the boxes !!

Thank you,

Looking at the sticker on the side, it looks like a RD3-01, but the sticker says Siemens, not clarion ?

 

[reliable406]

Thats fine then it will work fine its only 1 specific clarion that seems not to have the capability to work with them

Thanks Reliable406, I think that's the route I will go then.

 

[reliable406]

You will need to have the cd changer/aux port enabled by someone anyone with planet can do it.

I used something very similar to one of those in my 2004 307, worked like a charm. It plugs into the CD Changer port which will need enabling. Bluetooth streaming works perfectly as does the hands free. An incoming call mutes any other audio just as a factory bluetooth system would.

She could also charge the phone using the usb charging port.
