    Hi.

    I'm looking to replace the stereo in my 162d Citreon Berlingo. The one it came with hasn't got Bluetooth or an aux cable which really annoys me.

    Can any one recommend someone to supply and fit in next couple of days?


    Thanks for the help.

    It's not the answer you're looking for, but I decided against replacing the stock head unit in my Citroen - keeping the steering controls and the display screen were the deciding factors.

    I bought an adaptor that plugs in to the back of the stereo, where a multi CD changer would normally connect.

    It has aux, USB and SD card reader, and a cheap Bluetooth dongle can plug in if that's the way you want to go..

    All for about 40 quid.

    The only thing is the CD changer needs to be enabled in the vehicle software, which is a dealer job unless you have the software / interface kit..

    Let me know if you want more info..

    Thanks for the information. Yep. Could you pass on anything you can about this? Sounds like it could be the better option and cheaper too.

    Thanks again

    Sure - this is the adaptor I bought - it's for the Blaupunkt RD4 which is in my (older than yours) car

    There are similar versions from other manufacturers, but you'll need to ensure compatibility with your radio model...

    The bluetooth dongle was only a couple of quid - sound quality is fine, but I needed to power it from a battery pack, as was getting interference when powered from a cigarette lighter usb adaptor..
    I mainly just connect to the phone headphone socket directly now..

    The biggest cost would be getting the main dealer to enable the CD changer function, but as I presume your 2016 van is still getting main dealer servicing, I'm sure they'd do it for nothing while you're getting a service - it's a 10 second job when you're connected to the vehicle diagnostics..

    (I had a copy of the software and the adaptor to connect to the car here, so didn't have to go to the dealer)
