Are you tired of the outdated infotainment system in your Citroen DS5? While the DS5 is a masterpiece of French design, its original multimedia capabilities often lag behind modern standards. Whether you are looking for Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, or a way to keep your Denon Sound System functioning after an upgrade, this comprehensive guide from NaviTech (Roadnavier) has you covered.
1. The #1 Challenge: Supporting the Denon Sound System
One of the most frequent questions we receive from DS5 owners is: "My DS5 has a Denon sound system; will an Android head unit still work with my speakers?"
Many standard Android units fail to support the Denon amplifier because it requires a specific extra Canbus protocol to trigger the audio signal. At Roadnavier, our Citroen DS5 unit is specifically engineered to support the Denon amplifier protocol, ensuring that your premium sound quality remains intact.
2. Will I Lose My Factory Features?
When upgrading to a Roadnavier Android system, you don't have to sacrifice the "DNA" of your car. Here is what stays functional:
-
Car Settings: You can still adjust vehicle settings (like interior lighting) directly through the new display. Note: Analog clock time adjustment is currently not supported.
-
Dashboard & HUD: Our system supports viewing navigation directions on your original dashboard or Heads-Up Display (HUD).
-
Original Controls: You can continue to use the original scroll wheel and buttons located below the gear shifter.
