Part description

Original Clarion CD changer for Citroën/Peugeot. This is a used part that is tested and comes with a CD tray so it is ready for normal use after assembly.

If you are dealing with the replacement of a non-functional converter (discs cannot be loaded, mechanics get stuck, it does not communicate with the radio, etc.), this piece is a suitable choice, especially if you are looking for a part according to the number 9647427980 or 6564E1. For a complete installation, the 6560Q4 holder and the 6560XR connecting cable can also be purchased separately.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for a CD changer, the exact steps may vary depending on the design of the car’s audio system and wiring. Below is a practical procedure that is commonly used when replacing this type of part.

1) Before assembly (checks of used part)

• Check that a CD tray is included and that it can be inserted/ejected without force.
• Compare part numbers 9647427980 / 6564E1 with the old converter or with the vehicle/installation label.
• Inspect the connectors: straight pins, no corrosion, no cracks in the plastic.
• Visually check whether you have (or are purchasing) the necessary accessories: 6560Q4 holder and/or 6560XR wiring (if missing in the car).

2) Necessary tools and materials (in general)

• Basic set of bits/screwdrivers and ratchet with attachments (depending on the type of fastening)
• Plastic pry bar for panel removal (prevention of plastic damage)
• Cleaner for electrical contacts (optional, for dirty connectors)
• Straps or textile tape to fix the cabling (as needed)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the negative battery terminal to be safe.
2. Access the space for the CD changer (according to the installation in the car) and carefully remove the covers/paneling that are in the way.
3. Unscrew and remove the original CD changer (if fitted).
4. Disconnect the connectors of the old inverter – do not pull the cables, but the body of the connector.
5. Compare the connectors and attachment of the old and new inverter (matching shape, locks, orientation).
6. If necessary, gently clean the connectors with contact cleaner and let them air out.
7. Connect the connectors to the Clarion CD changer and check that they are fully engaged.
8. Sit the inverter into the bracket/position and secure it (or use the 6560Q4 bracket if required for installation).
9. Arrange the cabling so that it does not break, is not stretched and does not rub against sharp edges (if necessary, fix the tapes).
10. Insert the CD tray and verify that it runs smoothly.
11. Reinstall all removed covers/trims.
12. Connect the battery, turn on the ignition and test the function via the car radio (switching to the CD changer, response to disc/track change).
• 4) Post-assembly checks and functional test verification
  • Verify that the car radio recognizes the CD changer and that there are no audio dropouts.
  • Try multiple discs (ideally both pressed and burned if you use them) and watch them load.
  • When driving, listen for vibrations – if necessary, check the tightness of the mounting and wiring.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Not clicked connector → always check the connector lock and secure seating.
  • Pinched or strained cabling → guide the cables freely, fix them and protect them from sharp edges.
  • Assembly without disconnecting the battery → risk of short circuit or problems with the electronics; disconnecting is a safer procedure.
  • Missing bracket/wiring → check in advance if the installation is complete; possibly count on codes 6560Q4 and 6560XR.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical wear (drive, feeder, moving parts) due to age and frequent use.
  • Dust and dirt inside the mechanism that impair reading and can cause magazine jams.
  • Moisture and corrosion of connectors leading to communication or power failure.
  • Vibrations and shocks during operation (loose mounting, poorly routed cabling), which accelerate mechanical wear.
  • Improper handling of the magazine (forcible insertion/ejection, damaged discs) which may damage the internal mechanism.
