🔹 Peugeot 207 Why Is the RD4 Radio Displaying “SILENCE”?

1️⃣ Faulty BSI (Built-in Systems Interface) Configuration

• Peugeot’s BSI module controls various electronic functions, including the radio.

• If the radio was disconnected or replaced without proper reconfiguration, the SILENCE message may appear.

• Solution: Perform a BSI reset or use Peugeot Planet 2000 (PP2000) / Diagbox to reconfigure the system.

2️⃣ Muted Audio Output Due to CAN-Bus Error

• The RD4 radio communicates via CAN-Bus, and if there’s an error, it may stop sending audio to the speakers.

• Some users report this happening after a battery disconnect or replacement.

• Solution: Try a hard reset of the radio and BSI.

3️⃣ Incorrect VIN Coding (If Radio Was Replaced)

• Peugeot radios are coded to the car’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).

• If the radio was replaced and not properly paired to the car, it may display SILENCE.

• Solution: You need Peugeot Planet 2000 (PP2000) or Diagbox software to code the radio correctly.

4️⃣ Faulty Speaker Wiring or Blown Fuses

• If the radio detects a problem with the speakers (e.g., a short circuit or disconnected wire), it may go into “SILENCE” mode.

• Solution: Check the radio fuse and speaker wiring connections.
