can this not be done with planet/diagbox?

have you considered taking radio out and to somewhere like a good tv repaired as someone with an electronics background might be able to fit it

 

I had problems with mine. Turned out to be a loose fuse on fuseboard. Changed it a fews ago and no more problems.

 

not the fuse as u can hear the unit powering up fans boots twice then constant hum and its been to pug main dealer for a full diagnostic so annoying how much they want for a new unit

 

rt6

well i sopke to one of the best decoders in the uk and he said pug 508 have like 35 different suppliers the one i have got can not be decoded and clarion still have the rights to repairs so thats why im looking after market i waiting for clarion to get back to me but from what i have heard going to cost 300 opunds to get it diagnosed

 

Mine powered up, went off, powered up. Sometimes worked for days, sometimes wouldn't turn on at all.

 

is that the fuse behind the little pull down on drivers side

 

Passenger side.

 

I was reading that a broken fuse was the reason for your RT6 issue,
Can you tell me what fuse it was? I have the 508SW 2012. Seems to be two fuses on driver side for the radio and one in the glove box that also can be connected to radio/gps.

 

i have also hard that i can not but a second hand unit(rt6) as it has to be decoded and recoded to my car i belive there are 35 different head units that pug use mine in the magnet marrelli 9678276480 does any one actaly know if this unit can be decoded and recoded to my car as for the fuse according to my manual it is behind the drives pull down box confused

 

Yes it can be recoded to your car, yes you can buy a second hand unit and configure it to your car, you just have to go to the right place to do it

Is your unit still showing the Peugeot logo on the screen ?
Does the screen reboot or is it stuck on the logo ?

 

I have the same issue, they just diagnose it's as communication error with the RT6, new unit cost a bomb. Is there an alternative?

 

If it's powering up ok, then rebooting etc.., it sounds VERY much like the internal hard-drive has developed a fault.

I have a RT4 in my Pug 407 and the exact same fault occured on this, simple solution - take head unit out, take cover off - remove CD assembly/cabling (be very careful not to break the ribbon cable), then remove the hard-drive.

Try and source an identical model, a normal computer/laptop hard drive won't suffice I'm afraid due to the shock/temperature differentials which it will need to endure, the hard drives placed in cars are more 'industrial', and can handle the shock/temperature changes.

If you can make an image of the faulty hard drive, do that as it will save you some time reformatting your new hard-drive, I personally use the latest version of Norton Ghost (v15 I think), but I'm sure there is plenty of other software which could do this for you.

If you are successful in making in image of your original HDD, the put that image on to your replacement HDD.

Lastly, refit replacement HDD and test.

If you couldn't clone/backup your original HDD you will have to install the operating system from an installation CD, of which can be sought from various places on the web :thumb:

Might save you alot of money, as a replacement HDD should only cost you between £30-50 I suspect, as the capacity of the HDD's Pug use are not very big, ie: 30/60gb.

Best of luck :thumb:

 

I had similar issue on my 508 allure. It was internal micro SD card which was faulty. It was only one partition that was healthy. I found a real expert who figured that and then he cloned that healthy partition. Unfortunately I don't know what else he did, but now my RT6 unit works fine with latest firmware and maps.

 

Hi mates,
I´m looking for full backup sd card for this navi. Can anyone help me with that please?
Thanks a lot
