  • Change Start-Up Image in Ds3 Radio

    Hello together, many years ago, after buying my DS3 (2013 year of construction) I changed the start-up image on the radio. I remember that I loaded a folder with French files on a stick, the picture had to be selected and after inserting the picture, and then it ran. Eight years later, the car is now overwritten to my partner and of course it wants to have YOUR car and a different picture. But I have no idea where I got this picture back then. often had or how I otherwise changed the display. Does anyone else remember how to exchange the picture – maybe there is also a much easier way to do it?

  • Diverse beam Citroen DS3

    Hello together, I now have a Citroen DS3 Cabrio 1.6 THP 165 Sport Chic for a few months now. Currently in the dark season it would be helpful if, like many Citroen models, when turning off a fog lamp. I have already researched the Internet and have unfortunately not found out. There are various settings in the DS3 which are not adjustable in the Navi like other Citroen/DS models. For information my car is built in 2016, but still the Navi from the V orfacelift and the xenon headlights with halogen fog lights. There are still some things I would like to change with regard to light, but that’s the first priority. I’ve already used all the tips on how to open the light settings only when ignition, or in darkness etc. But my light setting is limited to the re-leaching function, where you can set the duration between 15sec, 30sec and 60sec. Maybe someone has a tip without having much to do with cable construction. Is there a need for m/central electronics to fiddle around?

  • Seat heating after restart

    Hello all, maybe this is a normal behavior with DS, but I have not experienced any other car like this: if I turn on the seat heating in our DS 3 year 03/2022 and put the car off, lock it and so on, then the last adjustment of the seat heating remains, i.e. the next morning it is on again. Is this so normal and wanted? I always know this only so (Mercedes, VW, Fiat, BMW, Mini, …) that after ignition key pull off (at least after a g I don’t think it’s very disturbing now, but maybe there’s a problem after all. Because since we have the car, for example, the start-stop automatic has not even worked (it always only flashes friendly green, despite battery charging). Maybe there’s some connection or so… Thanks and greetings.

  • DS7 – Problems: Chassis rear axle ?

    Hello Together since May drive a DS7 as 180HDI with almost full equipment; Have now 10 000km down and am actually very satisfied, with the exception of the chassis – rear axle: When driving through one side of potholes the car moves back, or swims slightly sideways. Even passengers notice this. Have read this here in the forum already by others. Is there any workshop experience? Is this known at DS and can be fixed, or is it only appeased? Thank you for r Feedback Greetings from CH Manfred

  • Durability Spark plugs DS 7

    Hello Have any of you experiences about the life of spark plugs at DS 7 Crossback So chic Pure Tech 225 ? I drove this morning for the renewal of the cathedral warehouse (guarantee) to the workshop and had 200m in front of the workshop at the traffic light suddenly restless engine run and could only start with problems from the traffic light. Supposedly it should be at the spark plugs. Kilometer level 32000 km ! I find this strange because the car, after getting us the recently from the annual inspection back and the engine was louder than usual. Greeting Thomas

  • DS7 Bluetooth and Spotify – Connection problems

    Hello together, does anyone have problems with the Bluetooth connection at Spotify? In the first 3-4 minutes there are interruptions, after which the music runs smoothly. The behavior changes after every DS software update – for a while it was gone, but since the last two updates it has occurred again.

  • Reviews Pure Tech 155 So Chic

    Hi all, my dear wife yesterday looked at a DS3 crossback from 2020 with 25 t km (155 hp gasoline) and drove to the test and – like myself – is hard enthusiastic. This should replace our current Mini Countryman hybrid. Since the cars are quite rare I ask here in the swarm, whether there are to this model reviews, positive as negative, whether there are things or equipment features that should not be missed or the even expressive h not make sense. I myself have a bit of a fight with these 3-cylinder motörchen, on the other hand Stellantis installs it in quite a lot of models, if I see it right. And really much will not drive the DS3, city flicker. Thank you and best regards – Pecco

  • Google Maps no longer using car speakers

    Hello, my wife drives a Fiat 500 C. She connects her Samsung mobile phone via USB cable to the car. Recently, the navigation via Google Maps no longer comes via the car speakers, but only sounds quite quietly from the range of the speedometer. So far, we have only reset the instrument cluster in the dashboard to factory setting. Does anyone have an idea how the navigation voice can come back from the usual speakers? Otherwise, my wife has nothing changed… V Greetings from Münster
