Software update for PP for RD4

Hi,
First post here (great forum by the way) I have acquired a 407 (on 57 plate, full model in sig) and looking for some updates on it, I have done some reading on here about updating and also got some links for the lead to get my iphone playing music through the stereo connecting to the cd changer port.

My issue is this:
I have managed to pair up my iphone to the car, and I can make and receive calls, it mutes OK (and also updated contacts sort of) but when the phone rings it just mutes the radio no ringing, this is fine if the radio is on as the music stops and I can see there is an inbound call (call always shows as private number although I can live with this) but if I have the radio turned right down I dont know the phone is ringing.
Reading through this forum it seems like the firmware on the blue-tooth maybe to old and needs updating.

Now my local main dealer is a place I will never go again due to them trying to rip us off on 2 occasions. At the rear of the office where I work is a Peugeot specialist mechanic (and a rather good one at that) I have spoken to him about updating the firmware and he told me, when it was done via CD updates he could get these but now the updates have to be downloaded via the net and as he is not a main dealer he cannot get access any more.

Now as he is plugging planet into my car to enable the aux 2 port I said I would do some digging and see if I can help (he's scratch my back I should scratch his sort of thing) and he's a real nice guy.

If anyone could help or point me in the right direction it would be really helpful.

On a second note the display is suffering from what seems to be a common issue (when car/interior gets warm display starts to fade, I have read from here that I need to look out for a new display with white background, but can I just put a new one in or does the display have to be programmed up as well?

Sorry for the really long first post.

Thank you
Karl

Just did some more digging on the ipod adapter (I have not brought it yet) and reading some other posts it says the unit should plug into the cd changer port and that you would not need to activate aux2, is this correct (my RD4 has MPS on the front if that helps)
The one I am looking at is Peugeot 207 308 307 407 607 807 iPod iPhone Interface Adaptor CTAPGIPOD011.2 | eBay

Does this look like the right one so I can use the stalks to change volume track etc

Thank you.

Yes, that emulates a CD Changer so that the RD4 allows it to be controlled.
It connects to the CD Changer port, but I don't know if that needs enabling for an adapter like this (but suspect it might).

If the CD changer isn't already enabled, it will need PP to enable it.

Your mate won't be able to update the software... only dealers linked direct to Peugeot servers can do it.

If you buy a new blank display, it will need configuring with PP.

Exactly... CD changer has to be activated on one of the rear RD4 headunit ports if it is not yet activated. However, this is very easily done by anyone with PP tool and some basic knowledge.

- Displays with white casings are old and will, most likely, suffer from the fading issue sooner or later. Thus, you have found misleading information.

I wonder if you could shed some light on this subject please,
I have a xcarlink iPod kit for the rd4 unit, also had main dealer activate
Aux 2 but after first installation the iPod kit worked fine,
However turn ignition off and on again iPod kit didn't work, still see the aux
2 but no iPod tried another iPod kit and don't the same thing

Any ideas??

Display Inquiry

HI There , I would like to know that if your price is in British Pounds or not.
If not then how much would it cost in British Pounds including the postage as I live in South London. I want one which doesn't fade away when heating is on.
please let me know.
Thanks.
