Peugeot 406 Radio Questions

[fruitnveg]

Hello all,

I just came into possession of a 2000 Peugeot 406 and I've got a few questions about the audio system:

1) It currently has a Clarion PU-1633A fitted - does this have the same ISO connector the PU-2417A? If so, does it have the same signals carried on each pin?

2) Is the PU-1633A in swappable with other PU radios? They all seem to be designated RD3 in some places - I understand that VIN coding is necessary as will be a fascia plate.

Also, this 406 has a similar external screen that the 307 has for the radio if that makes any difference.

Many thanks.

has your car got a jbl amp in the boot? if it does changing radio makes a difference.
VIN coding is necessary if you put a different radio in, that costs about £30, but i think the PP2000 can do it, if you know anyone with one.

Forgot to reply to this - found out that it does have ISO connector and same pinout, I've not got the JBL amp so all is well.

Thanks for your reply!

yup stick any radio in it and it should work fine. vin decoding is necessary if its from another 406 but not if you got a new aftermarket radio.
