One fine day, the factory radio in the Peugeot 207 - RD4 - refused to obey - stopped playing: the radio does not work, the CD does not work, and the message SILENCE appeared on the display. Disconnecting the radio from the battery did not help (functions in the menu, i.e. setting the language,...

I have the same problem - I read somewhere that the reason may be the massing of the mute cable in the ISO2 cube (PIN number 14 in the main connector). It may help to disconnect this cable from the ankle. I'm going to do it today, I'll let you know

Hello gentlemen! I'm refreshing the topic. Do you know what was the cause of the SILENT sign? - I have the same problem.

Piotr Kaszuba · Answer

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately, I have no wire in place of PIN 14. Maybe I have a different layout?

SZYMON BYDGOSZCZ · Answer

What voltage do you have on pin 14? Maybe the radio is flooded and will be 0v.

Piotr Kaszuba · Answer

That's what I was afraid of... a few days ago I cleaned the air conditioning with foam, but for two days it was ok, until today. The voltage on pin 13 is 0.37V, on pin 14 0.0V. Does your friend know how to fix it?

SZYMON BYDGOSZCZ · Answer

I know. Take the radio apart and clean it.

Piotr Kaszuba · Answer

Thanks a lot! I'll play with it tomorrow and let you know if it's any better.

Piotr Kaszuba · Answer

After a thorough cleaning of the radio and another failure, I gave the radio for repair. If I manage to get information from you from the audio service, I will let you know what could be the reason ... I bet on the power amplifier.

Hello. I had the same problem. I did as you wrote, I took out pin 14 and everything works as it should. the question is now what to do with this removed pin > where to connect it.?

SZYMON BYDGOSZCZ · Answer

If you don't have a speakerphone, insulate it and leave it.

wimich · Answer

Hello, has anyone managed to solve the problem when pin 14 without a cable. That's the situation with me. The radio was not flooded. After disassembly, I did not notice any dirt or damage.
Is there any other arrangement? Can the SILENCE problem be caused elsewhere (e.g. at the steering wheel, at the radio buttons).
I don't know if it matters, but I have a built-in factory speakerphone that works flawlessly.

puzzy · Answer

Good morning. Have you managed to solve the problem? Same for me, wireless radio. 😭🙁

wimich · Answer

Unfortunately not. The radio still doesn't work, although it occasionally has flashes. But I've gotten used to it by now that it doesn't work. I suspect that the problem may lie with the speakerphone, because it probably mutes the radio. Even recently I thought about going back to the topic and checking out this speakerphone. If I manage to do something, I'll let you know.

luckyboy · Answer

I discovered this relationship by accident. Unfortunately, even turning off the blower didn't help.

wimich · Answer

For me, while driving, the radio sometimes turns on (when I enter a hole, for example). And looking at this blower video and my experiences, a theory begins to hatch in my head.
Perhaps the problem is caused by a cable that is damaged and under the influence of airflow and / or shocks it moves slightly, which makes it ok for some time.

luckyboy · Answer

Your example would point to a cold solder joint. However, I think I tamed the silence mode. I disconnected the battery, then connected it and did not touch the car for 2 minutes so that BSI installed the radio. It has been working without problems since then.

wimich · Answer

And what does it indicate? I didn't do anything with the radio. Other than that, everything was working fine until one day SILENCE appeared. It disappeared, reappeared and disappeared until now it is with me all the time :( Unfortunately it didn't work for me. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, it is as it was, unfortunately. Unless I'm doing something wrong with this disconnection.

wimich · Answer

One more thing is happening to me. When I insert a CD, there is a pause and the hourglass spins.

jakjazz · Answer

Replacing the damaged processor in the radio receiver definitely settled the matter. The processor first caused periodic muting of the radio with the message SILENCE appearing, then it was damaged finally and effectively enough that the radio silence flowed.

wimich · Answer

I understand that in this case, replacing the radio should also help Only when I browse through the offers (there are plenty of them) I don't really know what to look for. My radio is RD4N1M-03 Continental with a catalog number 96 766 652 XH 00 . And here I have 3 questions. 1. What radios can I replace mine with. That is, does the designation and/or catalog number have to be exactly the same? 2. Does such an exchange involve anything else to do (i.e. some coding of something, etc.), and if so, can you handle it yourself? 3. What exactly does the symbol on the radio mean? Is there any information about the functions of the radio from these markings? Does anyone know where these processors can be purchased? And how to replace them?

hukooooo · Answer

If someone still has such a problem with the radio, it can be solved at a cost of 10 gr. You need to buy a 3.3kohm smd resistor and solder it in place of the old one. The resistor is on the mute / pause line, hence the radio mutes. Photos borrowed from a foreign forum - https://photos.app.goo.gl/QRjgZBdQh7L6QFNL6

Archived topic - discussion from 2013. The answer in the topic has already been given. Closing. RD45 is a different type of radio I am separating into a new thread.
