head unit info, want to put standard back in

[rapidyellow]

hi, I just want some info on a standard citroen/peugeot head unit circa 2010

am wanting to buy a B9 but it has an aftermarket head unit, they dont have the original but I would like to put an original back in, its the standard CD player/radio

I can get another standard radio for about £30, will it need coding in to the vehicle, or anything like that? or will it just be able to be plugged in and slotted into place and it will work?

thanks for any info you can help with

Hi rapid, yes unfortunately the new radio will need coding to the car, it is possible with diagbox software, I'm sure someone with more knowledge of doing so will give a better answer soon.

In the meantime I have seen sellers on Ebay offering to recode used radios to your car, they just need the VIN to do so, maybe this might be a better option in your case?

Yes its possible just buy a secondhand unit say off a trader that is able to code it for you. You need the vin number from your vehicle as this is coded into the radio then its just a matter of swapping the unit over and it will work straight away. Or as said if you know anyone with the citroen/peugeot software they could do it for you.
