CITROËN Connect Radio
Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning the system.
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio
station gradually deteriorates or the station
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
► Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar to enable the system to check whether there is
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
underground car park).
► Have the aerial checked by a dealer .I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
received stations.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is no longer received or its name has
changed in the list.
► Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on the "Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information
in place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the station
name.
► Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on the "Radio" page.
Media
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes).
Some files supplied with the memory stick may
greatly slow down access to reading the memory
stick (multiplication by 10 of the cataloguing
time).
► Delete the files supplied with the memory stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the
file structure on the memory stick.
Some characters in information about the
currently playing media are not displayed
correctly.
The audio system is unable to process certain
types of character.
► Use standard characters to name tracks and folders.
Playback of streaming files does not start.
The connected device does not automatically
launch playback.
► Start playback from the device.Track names and playing times are not
displayed on the audio streaming screen. The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer
of this information.
Telephone
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone.
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be
switched off or the telephone may not be visible.
► Check that the telephone has Bluetooth switched on.► Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with
the system.
► Check the compatibility of the telephone on the Brand's website (services).
Android Auto and CarPlay do not work.
Android Auto and CarPlay may not activate if the
USB cables are of poor quality.
► Use genuine USB cables to ensure compatibility.
The volume of the telephone connected in
Bluetooth mode is inaudible.
The volume depends on both the system and the
telephone.
► Increase the volume of the audio system, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
Ambient noise affects the quality of the
telephone call.
► Reduce ambient noise (close windows, reduce ventilation, slow down, etc.).
The contacts are not listed in alphabetical
order.
Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings chosen, contacts can
be transferred in a specific order.
►
Modify the telephone directory display settings.
Settings
When the treble and bass settings are
changed, the ambience is deselected.
When the ambience is changed, the treble
and bass settings are reset.
Selecting an ambience imposes the treble and
bass settings, and vice versa.
► Modify the treble and bass or ambience settings to obtain the desired musical ambience.
When the balance settings are changed, the
distribution is deselected.
When the distribution setting is changed, the
balance settings are deselected.
Selecting a distribution setting imposes the
balance settings, and vice versa.
► Modify the balance setting or the distribution setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality
between audio sources.
To allow for optimal listening quality, the sound
settings can be tailored to different audio
sources, which can generate audible differences
when changing source.
► Check that the sound settings are appropriate to the sources listened to. Adjust the sound
functions to the middle position.
