Key Notes
This is a CD-based OEM radio module. It retains the original control ergonomics and chassis dimensions used in compatible Peugeot 308 dashboards. The unit’s faceplate color is Warm Silver (HXH), matching many factory interiors. Important: After fitting, the radio must be coded/programmed to the vehicle with a compatible diagnostic tool to restore full functionality and CAN bus communication.
Installation Recommendations
Recommended steps for safe replacement:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid short circuits and ECU faults.
- Use plastic trim tools to remove dash panels and avoid damaging clips or trim surfaces.
- Unscrew and slide out the original radio; carefully disconnect the antenna, wiring harnesses and any auxiliary connectors.
- Compare connectors and mounting brackets, then install the replacement unit and reassemble in reverse order.
- Perform radio coding/programming with a Peugeot/Citroën compatible diagnostic tool (e.g., DiagBox) or a multi-brand scanner that supports radio coding—this step is required for correct integration with vehicle electronics.
- Check fuses and test basic functions (radio reception, CD playback, display, steering wheel controls if applicable) before final reassembly.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Mechanical wear of the CD mechanism and moving parts causing read errors or jamming.
- Moisture ingress or dirt accumulation leading to corrosion on connectors or internal circuit boards.
- Electrical issues such as blown fuses, poor ground connections, or voltage spikes damaging electronics.
- Software glitches or loss of radio coding after battery replacement or replacement without proper programming.
Suitable for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics who can follow safe removal procedures and perform the required diagnostic coding. Searchable by OEM numbers 96662671XH, 16077683XH and 6574QR for quick identification when ordering or replacing units.
