CarPlay Radio Screen for Citroën C4 (2011-2016): How to Install Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

The second generation of the Citroën C4 (2011-2016, known internally as B7) was one of the best-selling compact cars in Spain during those years. Many versions already had a small central screen, but it was a proprietary system with no updates, no current maps, and above all no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If your C4 is still running well but its screen has become outdated, there's no need to change cars to enjoy your phone integrated into the dashboard.

Does the Citroën C4 (2011-2016) have CarPlay as standard?

No. Although some versions of this C4 included a small touchscreen or steering-wheel touch controls, no factory version ever offered CarPlay or Android Auto: both systems launched after this model stopped being produced. The original screen also tends to suffer from sluggishness and outdated navigation maps as the years go by.

The solution: Android radio for the Citroën C4

Replacing the original multimedia unit with an Android radio custom-built for the C4 (2011-2016) slot is the most direct way to add CarPlay and Android Auto without losing any of the car's functions. The new screen takes up the same space, uses the same connectors, and keeps the steering-wheel controls thanks to an included CAN Bus module.

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Large, high-resolution touchscreen
• GPS navigation with Google Maps or Waze from your phone
• Bluetooth for calls and music
• Compatible with the steering wheel audio controls
• Reverse camera input and charging USB port

Compatibility with the Citroën C4: supported versions

This radio is designed for the second-generation Citroën C4 (B7 platform), built between 2011 and 2016, in both the sedan/hatchback body and versions with the factory touchscreen. It is not compatible with the C4 Picasso or C4 Grand Picasso, which use a different slot and connectors (we have specific radios for those models in our store). If you're unsure about your exact version, contact us with the year and plate number.

What does the installation involve?

1. The original multimedia unit is removed from the central slot.
2. The CAN Bus module is connected, translating the vehicle's signals (steering-wheel controls, parking sensors if fitted) to the new screen.
3. The new radio is fitted with the included frame, integrating visually as if factory-installed.
4. The phone is paired via Bluetooth or cable, and CarPlay/Android Auto are ready to use.

The installation is plug & play, with no wires to cut. Any car electrics workshop can complete it in under an hour.
