Problems with navigation and audio system in Citroen Nemo 2008 - Possible cause: Antenna

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Citroen Berlingo built in 2010. I have little experience with cars, but after seeing the problem in my garage, I quickly realized that it wasn't the antenna. It turned out that the telecommunications control unit was faulty and I had to spend around 765 euros on the repair. What city are you from? Maybe I know a good workshop near you. Could you please tell me the exact model and engine of your car? Then I might be able to help you better.

Hey, thanks for your answer! I'm from Frankfurt. The Nemo was in my garage under the model designation RN1. I have it with the small gasoline engine, so nothing special. The last service was at 194298 KM. Hope that helps. 765 euros is quite a lot...I hope the bill won't be that high for me. Do you have any tips on how I can check this without having to go straight to the garage? Thank you!

Hey, thanks for the info! I don't know any garages in Frankfurt personally, but maybe someone else here in the forum can help you out. It can really be a lot of things, from the sat nav or audio system itself to one of the many hundreds of cable connections. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's not the control unit. Unfortunately, the engine compartment of small cars like ours is often quite cramped and many parts are difficult to access. Without precise knowledge and good tools, I wouldn't advise you to tinker with it yourself. But there is one thing you can check: If you can't switch on the audio system when the ignition is on or the display only works sporadically, these are often signs that the control unit is faulty. If it doesn't work, contact a workshop. It can be expensive, but high repair costs can still be cheaper than buying a new car. Garages often have a good relationship with the manufacturers and can get spare parts cheaper. I hope this helps you. Good luck with your troubleshooting!

Hi, thanks for the advice! I've actually just tried it and the audio system can no longer be switched on with the ignition activated. I guess your assumption was correct... I'll think about what to do now. But your explanation gives me a better idea of what I might have to do in the workshop. Thank you very much for your detailed help! I'm always glad when I meet people who can help me with something like this. Maybe I'll have to dig into my pocket again after all... I hope I can find a solution that won't be too expensive! Thanks again and take good care of yourself.
