CarPlay Radio Screen for Citroën DS5 (2010-2017): How to Install Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

The Citroën DS5 arrived in 2010 as the brand's most premium model, with a carefully crafted design and advanced technology for its time. However, its central screen, touchscreen on the best-equipped versions, was left without updates once Citroën discontinued the model: no Apple CarPlay, no Android Auto, and its navigation maps have been out of date for years. If your DS5 is still mechanically sound, it deserves a screen that matches the rest of the interior.

Does the Citroën DS5 have CarPlay as standard?

No. Although the DS5 came from the factory with a central touchscreen on its higher trims (with the brand's own multimedia system), CarPlay and Android Auto didn't exist yet when this car was designed, and Citroën never released a software update to add them later. The result is a screen that still looks good but no longer connects with the apps we use on our phones.

The solution: Android radio for the Citroën DS5

The most direct way to modernize the DS5 is to replace the original multimedia system with an Android radio designed specifically for its slot and connectors, including the steering wheel controls and, if your unit has them, the climate control buttons integrated into the screen.

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• High-resolution touchscreen, matching the rest of the interior
• Updated GPS navigation from your phone (Google Maps, Waze)
• Bluetooth for calls and music
• Compatible with steering wheel controls and climate control
• Reverse camera input and charging USB port

Compatibility with the Citroën DS5: supported versions

This radio is built for the Citroën DS5 manufactured between 2010 and 2017, both in versions with the factory touchscreen and those with a more basic multimedia system. Before buying, confirm the exact year and whether your unit has the climate control integrated into the screen, to ensure the connector harness matches 100%. Contact us with your plate number if in doubt.

What does the installation involve?

1. The original multimedia system is removed from the central slot.
2. The included CAN Bus module is connected, translating the vehicle's signals (steering wheel controls, climate control) to the new screen.
3. The new radio is fitted with the included adapter frame, integrating visually with the rest of the dashboard.
4. The phone is paired via Bluetooth or cable, and CarPlay/Android Auto are ready to use.

It's a plug & play installation, with no wires to cut, which any car electrics workshop can complete in under an hour.
