I did something similar and wrote the above link. In short had to change the fascia loom and the central dash display to get all the controls to interface with the unit. I still have a CAN bus reader to fit in order to improve the accuracy of the GPS by feeding in a speed pulse.

If you decide to do it, getting the correct loom is the important bit as there appear to be lots of options available and the exact one will depend on the equipment you have in the car, whether there is a separate amp etc

 

Do you think it would just simpler to buy the can bus head unit on the 2nd ebay listing? And swap that that with the package I bought?

I may have misread your original post, what do you have currently installed? (the dangers of reading and answering posts from a phone!)

pre-facelift cars are typically CAN-VAN, meaning the engine and important systems are on a CAN system and the comfort stuff is on a VAN system incl the radio etc. The BSI acts as an interface between the two systems

If you have a simple RD3 headunit, an adaptor loom can be made, the sticky at the top of the audio section for the 407 will give a good idea and there is somewhere on here a link for a 307, this would save fitting an new fascia loom as I Google will give you some links, many in French but all useful for building the loom you might need depending on what you currently have

To answer your question about the second link you posted a CAN headunit will not work in a CAN-VAN car

 

My head unit/package i have bought is a CAN-VAN 04 and my car is a CAN 07.

i can buy a CAN rt3 head unit if needs be to just us that in the package i have bought.

 

oh and, I have rd4 fitted at present and that is the unit came with the car with a standard screen (Orange and black),

with a quad connector in the back.

 

Then you may be lucky and have a CAN-CAN system, it may be worth checking in servicebox or with a friendly dealer that this is the case. If it is confirmed, it would be a case of fitting and configuring using Planet. One question though, do you have the fibre optic cable for the screen, it goes from the quad lock to the display?

 

Yes i have all cables, i have bought the 2nd RT3 CAN head unit. AND i have bought Plannet 2000.


so one was or another i will get this working if not old system back in and hole lot sold.

Your car is full CAN whereas the 04 car it came out of is VAN/CAN so it's likely the head unit will not work. Not sure about the display as never seen the satnav display up close. The standard display on the 04 model has a different connector to the standard display in an 07 car. There is a chance that the bigger screen may not work either.

If you end up selling the original setup that you bought from ebay then I would be keen to purchase as I've been looking for an full kit at an affordable price since I got my car.

 

Bought the can head unit to replace the van can unit. If i can get it to work the package is yours for what I paid for it. Deal?

Sounds fair to me. We'll have to wait and see.

 

Cool i do try to be fair im hopping i can get it working with planet 2000 and the cam unit i have bought, BUT WHO KNOWS WITH THESE THINGS.
