- How to install a double DIN head-unit on a Citroen Berlingo or Peugeot Partner B9.
I fitted a Kenwood DMX8019DABS which has a capacitive touchscreen and apple car play. Any infotainment system if it does apple car play or android auto is generally all you really need. This head-unit was bought through Dynamic Sounds. Crucially it was bought with a Connects 2 fitting kit which ensured it integrated really well with the Berlingo leaving the LCD screen that previously displayed the radio information still able to change vehicle settings and the time could be changed with the stalk behind the steering wheel.

Hey brilliant video gives me confidence to rip apart a practically new car, looking forward to fitting mine soon. 👍
Amazingly detailed video, thanks so much!
Thanks for the comment, it took a while to make the video but i think i covered all the major points haha.
This great and really helpful! Thanks a lot. Now I have to find the fitting parts for lefthanded cars.
Hi there,
I dont think there is really any difference in these parts between a LHD and RHD car?
I’ve just been given an unused Kenwood DAB radio and was checking to see it it could be fitted to my Berlingo van. Then I saw this video. It’s a great guide, I may be tempted to give it a go myself but didn’t realise that I may have to cut bits out of the van. I hoped it would just slot in. Not sure if I want to do that…I’ve saved this vid in case I do get brave.
There is unfortunately that bit of cutting needed, on the plus side you can fit a head-unit with much enhanced functionality. It looked reasonably factory as the dashboard is a fairly square shape and some berlingos did get a big screen infotainment setup.
Perfect. Thanks.
Superb Video! Thank you!
Thanks for the comment
I have been planning my own install for a good week now on my 2012 Belingo and completed this today :) I used your video as a great reference! Thank you very much 😊
well this has stopped me ever wanting to try this myself !!!
brilliant guide though
Brilliant idea
Thank you! Cheers!
I'd love to do this in my berlingo. 👍
It was a great headunit for the berlingo, one downside to the C4 i replaced the berlingo with was it cant really take an aftermarket headunit. Even the ones on Ali Express are designed for LHD cars.
At 12:25 there is a spelling mistake. These plates which bolt ONTO the. Apart from that excellent work! Great video! 😎😁👍🏻
Haha well spotted, unfortunately its up there for good now its been uploaded onot the old ewe tube.😜
So in a 2018 van will the dab wire be in the roof but just need an ariel off of a professional edition with the touch screen? Instead of fitting dab ariel to the window?
Hi, I just bought a double sim unit now and plan to install it’s got its original cage would that be ok to fit or do I need the Citroen specific one?
Where is this music for connection wire connected into the Citroen factory wiring system, please for the aftermarket radio?
Have you also upgraded the dash display? because standard is display A and in video you have display C. If you changed the display can you give me a link from where you got the display! Many thanks in advance!
Excellent video. I’m just wondering where does the blue wire that’s connected to the aerial adapter go? Thanks
Hi, i think it is for some 12v signal booster but i did not use it.
Thks for the video, I wanted to know where you bought the adapter for the car steering wheel and the 2 din adapter for the radio, thks
Hi, thanks for the comment.
The items were bought from Dynamic sounds: screenshots in the video at 0:13 and 0:30
Really useful video, very clear and informative thank you. Do you know if it would be the same stalk control when replacing the touch screen double DIN head unit from Peugeot? Ive got a Partner 2017 model. Ive taken the unit out and the connector looks the same but will the wiring be the same? Ive emailed Dynamic Sounds as per your advice to others :)
Hi there,
the B9 berlingo/partner was made betweeen 2008 and 2018 i think the same adapter will work but i would ensure dynamic sounds reply before placing an order to be sure its the correct unit, there can be subtle changes to the electrical connectors from year to year.
Great video. I have just bought one of these vans with a double din already installed .. how can I change the time and see a different view on the above screen ? I don’t believe the steering wheel controls have been fitted with the new stereo so is there anything way ? Thanks
Hi,
You need to buy one of those connects2 adapters that takes the steering wheel stalk signal and controls the screen.
This is great thanks. Will i be able to follow these instructions to install the cheaper Xtrons 7inch double din head unit?
The instructions should be similar but pay attention to the specific wiring diagram for the device you have as they may differ slightly.
Can you still adjust the day/hour on the small orange screen above with this radio(and other ones)??
Not with the radio but the connects 2 steering wheel interface i fit and show in this video allows the menu to still be controlled
What wiring kit did you use from Dynamic Sounds, I have found loads. I am just unsure on which to buy.
Hi
I included the screenshot in the video at 0:30
It was EAN: 5055193372262, dynamic sounds are also quite good on the phone, seem to be quick to help out with any enquiries.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV That’s awesome! Thanks. I have spoken to them a few times when fitting radios to my previous cars. Great video btw. Will be fitting that exact unit into my 725 L2
Sorry bud. Do you know what size the dash speakers/tweeters are (assuming they’re the same size across the berlingo range)?
@@robbyprior5437 not yet sure, will need to find out at some time as they would need to get replaced for better quality sounds
@@peugeotCitroen2CV Yeah. If i get to it first I’ll let you know! I will replace all the speakers in mine, closing in on one as we speak!
Would you have any information on how to install a cd changer or an external cd player to this head unit
What is a cd?
Haha only joking, but no this particular head-unit is a 'mechless' device, no CD or DVD functionality, a lot of headunits are the same as optical drives seem to be heading down the route to becoming obsolete.
They provide the much more convenient ability to stream music from a mobile phone. However there might be a 3.5mm auxillary input at the back.
Is everything you used her provided for in the screenshots (bar tools)? And would this suit the partner also?
Yes what i show in the screenshots is basically everything that was fitted to this van. It should fit the partner as it is identical to the berlingo.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV cheers, excited to try this out. Do you have a link to the fascia kit by any chance?
@@georgiagrogan4455
This is the link, just worth noting i see it shows as out of stock but dynamic sounds may be worth emailing;

Hi, great video, much appreciated. I've got a question regarding the wiring of clock display - I've plugged in the adaptor to the jack socket at the back of the head unit in my berlingo, but the controls by the steering wheel don't work as intended - the scrolling wheel doesn't work at all, and the buttons seem to be 'reversed' if that makes sense.
Have I missed anything during an install? There is a 'remote' wire in loom that came with the radio unit - should I connect it to the 'Key 1' wire on the adapter?
As a side note - I've got exactly same unit and all adaptors you listed in the video.
Not sure if my question is clear enough, but I'll appreciate any help.
Hi, there is only the one wire that controls the stereo, and its not into the jack socket
At around 5:20/5:35 i connect a purple wire from the end of the connects 2 box to a light blue coloured wire on the Kenwood.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thank you, don't know how I've missed that. I'll try it. Rapid response BTW - much appreciated 👍
Hi there,
Sorry im not sure, i had a facebook page for people to send images of things like this but its been down a while which is a nuisance. Very hard at the moment to picture this sort of thing from text alone.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV hi could you fit mine
@@jaygibson469
Sorry dont really have the time with the day job i only get a few hours in the evenings to work on cars and currently have an avantime V6 in for a light restoration
I never had a problem just getting an Arial adapter with power and using original antenna
Hey!
Great detailed video!
I tried installing a SingleDin stereo today without the Steeringwheel function,
But the stereo wont start at all, tried 2 different aftermarket stereos and no one would start.
Do you think i need to buy the wiring for SteeringWheel controls in order to make the stereo start? 😂
I have a Citroen Berlingo 2014.
Hi there
You might need to get the correct wiring harness, its worth checking with a multimeter where your constant +12v, ignition switched +12v and negative wires are, and then read the instructions manuals for the aftermarket stereos to confirm that those wires will match up.
Hi what year berlingo was this as been told a touchscreen stereo won’t work in a 2011 but believe this to be untrue ?
It is an aftermarket headunit it would work in any car, this is a B9 Berlingo produced between 2008-2018
💯👍👍
hi , thank you for the tuto , but where do you connect the brake wire ??
Hi there,
I cant actually remember, i think its covered in the installation instructions.
Hi great video! Can you please tell me which Connects2 cables you used? I have a Berlingo 1.6 Diesel Multispace (2017) with a cheap aftermarket head unit installed.
Hi, go to the dynamic sounds website and browse by vehicle. Put your make, model, and year in. There are a few choices on their site. If in any doubt send them an email. Their customer services are fairly prompt.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV Cheers sorted. One more question how did you remove the glove box panel behind instrument cluster?
@@garywoodward6750
Hi there, i have covered this in the reversing camera video. The glovebox is held in with a series of torx screws.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV I was referring to the rear panel of the top dashboard glovebox
How do one get that smal glovebox out at 11:19 ?
I don't seem to be able to remove the trim from inside the drivers glovebox. Any suggestions?
Hi there, there are tabs at each side which need to be released.
Bonjour, SUPER VIDEO !!! 👍
I'm in France and I just bought a Citroën Berlingo BlueHDI 100ch XTR that came off the assembly line on November 24, 2016. I would like to change the radio like in your video but I can't find anyone to advise me on buying the right harness CAN-BUS or to get the job done to me. Some don't want to take the risk (Citroën network) others say it's impossible...
As there are plenty of videos showing the reverse I am more than skeptical (at best)...
Could you tell me which CAN-BUS bundle you bought to follow your step-by-step video, please?
The radio is a Continental, no MP3 or Bluetouch, however I have the rear radar.
The radio harness is divided into three parts, 2 black plugs: the speakers and the power supply plus two wires which I have trouble identifying with certainty but which would perhaps be CAN-LOW and CAN-HIGH. Plus a white mini ISO Quadlock on which there are 3 wires in three shades of brown whose use I don't know...
Help me please 🙏
Hi there
Dynamic sounds sell the full wiring harness and facia plate. Im sure other sellers are available but i know they sold what i fitted here. They should be able to ship to france but email them to check, they also have good technical support.
If you have rear parking sensors fitted there is an additional module available to allow it to continue working, again thats something available from dynamic sounds.
I would advise against trying to wire something into a can bus network, buy the proper wiring kits to avoid causing damage.
how long did it take to power on ?.. Did it reboot every time you crank the engine? possible to power on with ignition off ?
I think its a few seconds to power on
its not a very slow boot up process
although there is that irritating message you have to accept at the start on every boot up.
regarding powering it with the ignition off, you would need to find a wire in the berlingo thats always 12v positive all the time and wire it appropriately. Although this headunit doesn't have a proper off button so it would quickly drain the battery. Possibly then look for a 12v positive that goes off when the vehicle enters economy mode.
Although i never minded it, just sitting with the engine off but ignition on was okay for running the headunit.
Hi, just a quick question I am doing my install tomorrow and wondered do I need to disconnect car battery or just do install as is?
I did most of this with the battery connected, although its a good precaution to disconnect it you wont however see things turn on as they get plugged in
Thank-you for that Much appreciated. Have a great day
Really useful vid, recently got a 59 plate Berlingo and looking to replace/upgrade the stereo so it's nice to know that a double DIN unit is an option.
Do have a question about the Berlingo, discovered the cigarette lighter socket doesn't work properly and this seems to be down to corrosion....what's the best way of getting it out?
If you have a look on this channel, i have a separate video covering the reversing camera installation. In it i cover how to get to the back of the 12v socket
@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thanks, though I managed it in the end. Also took a little bit of effort but managed to find a replacement socket since the initial one I brought wouldn't fit the power connector. Still, the first of many little jobs to do on it...certainly gonna replace the LCD display like in your other vid.
Hi, please how to remove black spots from my original gps ? (Citroen berlingo 2014)
can a touch screen unit from 2016 berlingo be fitted to older 2012 model ? what is all needed
Possibly (ask on the owners club)but I would not advise it, it is not a particularly good setup had it in the 508 that i had before this Berlingo and it was quite laggy, the navigation did not accept a full post code, the screen was not the most responsive and it had no support for car play
Hi great video but will the stock reversing sensors still work this a aftermarket head unit
Hi Scott
There is another module available from dynamic sounds that will send the parking sensor audio signal through the speakers again.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV bloody hell sounds like need a lot to get a head unit to work correctly. And I am guessing all the leads you bought wasn't cheap
@@scottbob3917 Yep unfortunately it does sting the wallet a bit, about £100 in adapters and leads, £500 for the headunit. Having said that its a far better infotainment system than most cars come with, only really the very newest cars in the past few years that can match this for functionality.
Hy. Do you know maybe the size of tweeters? The small one what are on board. And how can I replace them? I have Peugeot Pertner modell from 2015-2018. Thanks
The wee tweeters up there on the dash, not too sure about them to be honest. Join the citroen berlingo & peugeot partner owners club someone will know more about that.
I will at some stage look into improving the speakers
@@peugeotCitroen2CV thanks
Which connect2 part are you using? Be good to link to it
Pause the video at 0:31, the info is there.
Links expire which is why i put the screenshot in the video itself.
Here is a fresh link

Excellent, just the guide I was looking for. To be clear can I use the FM aerial, DAB aerial, microphone that are in my 2016 Berlingo already as part of the factory double-DIN unit?
I have seen some on the owners club fit the later aeriel to earlier berlingos. It all depends on what connectors you have, is there a regular DAB aeriel connector, and does the bluetooth microphone from the factory have a audio jack type connector?
There may be some different adaptors needed for that one. If you need to send pictures of the connections search for peugeotcitroen2cv on facebook at the very least i would be interested to know what differences the connectors have on a later berlingo.
Matt I’m thinking of fitting one of these head units myself, mines is a 2014 model so I don’t have the dab Ariel but I was in a 2017 partner yesterday and to my surprise it was the same Ariel and radio as my own, I assumed from 15 on all had the same Ariel and screen. Are you replacing the factory 7 inch screen?
@@garymarshall724 yes replacing the standard screen because Mirrorlink doesn't work for me now.
@@matthaigh5296 I was going actually fit one of the factory screens like you have but I hear they or not a good job, I have heard people saying upgrade the dab factory Ariel as it’s pathetic.
I was going fit the same Ariel as you have but I wouldn’t go to the bother if I thought they were not a good job.
Do you still need to plug in the original stereo every 6 months like I do to change to clock forward or back an hour. That job is coming up this weekend again.
No the connects 2 interface means the steering wheel controls now can operate the menus on the original screen
@@peugeotCitroen2CV I saw this at the end if the video ! Can you remember what the connects 2 lead was called ? Model number ? Thanks
@@6545george The screenshot for it is shown at 0:30.
Hello is it suitable for 2007 berlingo ? Same installation ? Thx
No the 2007 was the old shape, a different dashboard structure. Having a look at the dash it's got the buttons above the single DIN radio. You would need to fabricate a new radio surround and relocate those buttons. The owners club might have ideas/inspiration. It will not be as straightforward as it was here unfortunately.
Hi I’ve got a pioneer mvh-a210bt system. Will that be the same process or different? thanks
To an extent, the process of adapting the dash to take the double din unit will be the same, you will probably have a different wiring adapter for it.
@@peugeotCitroen2CV thanks for the reply. I can’t seem to get the steering wheel controls to work and the parking sensors won’t come through either.
@@lewisdavies172 Have you purchased the additional adapters for both of those functions?
fitted a double din from ebay what do i need to get the clock settings etc to work
A steering wheel adaptor, go onto dynamic sounds and they will have them.
I also screenshot the fitting kit quite early on in the video, good idea if you are fitting a double din into a berlingo, that kit includes the adaptor.
Please put the links to buy the product
Screenshots are there as is the name of the headunit itself both in the video and the description. Links are not added as they can change from time to time, although minimal searching can quickly find it
@@peugeotCitroen2CV thanks you bro
Hi there mate
I like what u done
I just bought Peugeot partner
I will love to do the same on it.
If u could do it for me
The chances we close to each other
Could be 0 to 100 but,
If u dont ask u never know.
Where do u base?
Hi there,
Unfortunately i work a day job as an engineer so have minimal time in the evenings the work i do that ends up in videos and the editing takes up most of the time. For that reason alone i do not offer to do work for other people apart from friends/family cars which keep me busy.
That and im also based in Northern Ireland.
I do make the videos so that they can show how to do this work, if you have any questions just ask im happy to help out.
Hi, the android auto works by wifi or usb, it does not work for me, thks
It is supposed to work by either wireless or via a wire. Not too sure if there are any other settings, i have not used this with an android device.
Connection on 324
Hi. Ive tried to find your contact details. I really would like you to fit mine for me. I don't think I could trust anyone else to do it for me. Please help 🙏
As I mentioned on the other place you commented i dont do this as a day job, i work as an engineer during the day and get out to the shed for a few hours of an evening, that and the videos is just something i do for enjoyment.
I cant offer to do this sort of work as i dont have the time and i know from doing this to my own Berlingo it took a good day to do it.
All is in the video to guide you through the process and if you have any questions i am happy to help.
I keep my contact details off UA-cam, but do have a Facebook page with the same name as this channel.
Thanks for your reply 👍 🙂
Where is passenger compartment fuse box
On right hand drive vehicles it is in the glovebox. There is a panel there which will provide access to the fuse box.
Where was the fuse box for the heated seats
@@owenkelly9447 There is not a specific fuse box for the heated seats, there is a fuse box in the passenger compartment, and one in the engine bay.
I have a separate video on this channel if you want to add heated seats to your Berlingo
Hello great video. I have a question. Do you have a cheaper alternative for a 2-Din radio that also works for the car?
The same basic process will cover installing any double din headunit
By all means shop around there is an infinite range available to suit all requirements just watch the very cheap unbranded stuff as it tends to be a bit (z word rhymes with rite) do some research read reviews etc before making a purchase.
