Monochrome Screen C

[chesterflaps]

It doesn't give you Bluetooth unfortunately. Have a look at the company Dension, they make the OEM Bluetooth stuff for most manufacturers and also sell aftermarket versions. They don't officially support the DS3, but in my contact with them they see no reason it shouldn't work if you have the correct screen and stereo.

I will be purchasing this at some point in the near future to fit to mine: http://www.dension.com/product/gateway-pro-bt

Good man!!

Which part code did they suggest and do you need the display C?

If you were to purchase that one I linked you it should work in theory. Part codes are here: http://www.dension.com/sites/default...04_04_2014.pdf (unless you mean some other part codes)

And yeah you do need the display C, I got mine of eBay off this guy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1113907178...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT he was super helpful.

I'm just waiting for my stereo release keys to be delivered and then I will be ordering the Gateway, they did claim I could return it if it didn't work.

Also some further reading on the C4 owners club (same headunit as the DS3):

thank you. the part code I refer to is when you select what model you have from the drop down boxes on the site, it then gives you a part code for the unit. If you do not select a make and model it says "Not combatible" where the part code is.

But it seems the unit is the same as the C4 one so I should order that part code I guess. I have contacted Dension too to ask the same question so I will post the answer if anyone else needs clarification.

Have your keys arrived yet? I'm waiting for a price from my local Dension fitter to fit the BT unit and the display C. He asked if the display will be a 'virgin' display and I guess with it being a used one it won't. He said it would be better if it's not a virgin unit.

I wonder if anything will need recoding when putting any of this stuff in.

I'f give it a go at fitting myself but I've not worked on anything like this for a fair few years. Last car I messed with the stereo was an E reg Astra he he.

They arrived today.

I don't think anything will need programming, my screen is already configured for Bluetooth and the dension kit is supposed to be able to activate the necessary things on the actual stereo.

I think I've wired in one stereo in my life so this is all fairly new for me. Although the instructions seem mega simple. And the screen was the easiest thing in the world to change.

So are you going to try and install it yourself?

And you say the screen was mega easy to fit. I have seen a guide to removing the top part of the dash and it looks pretty straight forward. So you already have the new screen fitted and everything displays correctly? Like all the extra MPG details etc?

I'm struggling to find a 'display C' anywhere. The guy you bought from has sold out. I've emailed him to see if he's getting any more. But there are lots of peugeot ones on ebay that look similar but I can't be sure. I don't want to spend £100 on one and it be wrong. And the dealers are not too helpful with this kind of thing either.

I've had a look for DS3 spares online too. It seems the search term 'Citroen display C' is a bit too vague to find anything concrete.

The Peugeot screens should work fine as they are they use the same screens as Citroen. The extra MPG does work. Everything displays correctly.

My dealers offered me the correct screen for around £130, without programming, that's why I looked on eBay.

This is the expensive way of getting Bluetooth and USB fitted, but I hate aftermarket head units.

Ah so a new one isn't programmed? That's what I meant by recoding when I mentioned it earlier.

I agree it is an expensive way but I refuse to have some plastic thing attached to my dash which only allows phone connection.

The one I got off the guy from eBay was configured with everything but I got him to turn off the dual zone air con. One you purchase from a dealer would need programming too and they'd probably charge you a fair chunk for it.

If you do go down the eBay route avoid the yellow looking screens. I think they are cheaper crappy versions.

the first 2 look to be the right ones and they're the ones I have found previously, but I'm not too keen on ordering one from overseas.

I know what you mean

Would you happen to know what part number screen you got? I've seen this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-40...item2a4240de88
