 I haven’t been able to find any concrete information on how the factory fitted Bluetooth option works with these head units; I’m hoping that someone here might be in-the-know. I’ve looked at the Servicebox diagrams of my mate’s 2011-plate C3 which has the RD4 with factory Bluetooth, but there wasn’t anything that clearly resembled a Bluetooth adapter or interface.

Simply put, is it possible to retro-fit the factory Bluetooth option to a RD4 head unit so that it has the same features and functionality as one that did have it installed during manufacture?

Just to be clear, when I say 'RD4' I mean this (since even I get confused what with the 'RD' and 'RT'):

Many owners have fitted such a kit, - Click Here - , in fact I think it was an approved Citroen Accessory at one time.

Put simply - no. Different wiring harnesses behind the dash. You could probably patch wiring in but you'd have to find connectors and pins - then get the Nomad unit (black box). Not worth the hassle - a Parrot or I/O Player would be a much cheaper, less stress and to be fair probably more reliable!
