Citroen C3 Picasso 2005-2017 - 6.86-inch OEM-style screen kit

6.86" OEM-Style Android 15 Screen for the Citroen C3 Picasso, 2005-2017, With Wireless CarPlay (TFS8444)

The C3 Picasso keeps its instruments in a pod on top of the dash, and that pod is exactly where this screen goes. It's a 6.86-inch panel in the centre window of the Citroen C3 Picasso 2005-2017: the gauges either side don't move, and a new control panel replaces the radio face.

Fitment and model years

Photograph your own dash and compare it with the two product photos: pod on top, three climate dials below, radio low with a slot line above it, and you'll see straight away whether it's the same car.

Published fitment. Send the model year and VIN before ordering.

Two pieces ship: the module that drops into the pod, and the bottom panel that replaces the radio face. The pod shell, brackets and dial surround are your own car's plastic, which is what the product page prints in red across the photo. That's why it reads as a Citroen C3 Picasso 2005-2017 OEM Style Car Radio, not a dash kit.

Before and after

I keep hearing the same complaint. It's a roomy car, the family likes it, and the little monochrome window in the pod doesn't do much. So what happens? Maps go on a phone stuck to the glass, and it falls off in July. Awkward.

Photograph the pod

One shot of the dash, plus the VIN, matched to the published range.

Unclip and swap

Pull the old module out, photograph the connectors, compare them with the harness, then plug the new one in.

Check the menu, then clip up

Radio, wheel buttons and camera feed tested before the last panel goes back.

Fitted: gauges and warning lights stay

You get a touchscreen where the factory window was, running Android 15 with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto across the range. You don't get a second screen stuck on the windscreen. This is a Citroen C3 Picasso 2015 Factory Radio Replacement in the literal sense: the console panel's in the box.

03

Watch it in the car

Our own install footage on a C3 Picasso: the pod opens, the module goes in, the unit comes up with the factory trim back around it. I'd watch it before you start, if you're fitting it yourself.

Playback stays on this page. Watch on YouTube if your network blocks embeds.

How the TFS8444 compares

Three routes, and they're not close. Keeping the factory pod gains you the same tiny window. A marketplace fascia looks cheap until it arrives and the gap at the corners is annoying. The third is a screen built for the trim you already have.

Factory and marketplace columns are general; the last column is our specification.
Comparing Keep the factory unit Marketplace listing TFS8444
Display Small monochrome window Varies by seller 6.86 inch IPS, 1280x720
Phone link Bluetooth audio only Often not as shown Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
What stays Everything Trim often cut to fit Pod shell and brackets stay

Scroll sideways on a phone to see all four columns.

Done properly, this is a Citroen C3 Picasso 2012 Wireless CarPlay Retrofit that looks like it left the factory that way. Does that matter? More than you'd think when you're selling the car on.

05

Key features

Wireless on the whole range

Both connect without a cable, so the phone stays in your pocket.

6.86 inch IPS, 1280x720

Wide viewing angle, which matters in a deep pod.

DSP on the 4G builds

TC, TE, TM, TVS and TFS carry a DSP and a TDA7851 chip.

RDS radio, no HDMI

Standard across the range. No version of this kit has HDMI out.

Two details decide the install, and I see both go wrong. The amplifier interface is fibre optic on TC, TE and TM, and RCA on TBR, TVR, TVS and TFS, so if your car left the factory with an upgraded sound package the wiring harness has to match, and you should tell us your build at the order. The microphone's external and clips where you want it. Get that wrong and you've got silence. Frustrating, tedious, and an annoying way to lose an afternoon.

06

Buttons, panel and ports

The control panel keeps the factory layout: two chrome-ringed knobs, keys for EQ, mode, track skip and play between them, NAVI, BAND and SETUP underneath, and the slot line of the original radio across the top. On a Citroen C3 Picasso 2005-2017 your console still reads as factory hardware, not a blank plate.

The module's left edge carries two USB ports, the power key, a microphone hole and a reset pinhole, all hidden behind the pod trim once you clip the car back together. Wheel controls run through the supplied harness, so your buttons don't go dead.

Versions and add-ons

The builds in this range share Android 15, so a Citroen C3 Picasso 2009 Android 15 Head Unit differs mainly by board and memory. Pick by what you'll run.

Boards and memory tiers published for this 6.86-inch range.
TierVersionMemoryLink and output
EntryTBR / TVR2+32G or 4+64GWiFi 6.0, RCA amplifier output
MidTC / TE / TM4+32G, 8+128G or 8+256G4G LTE and WiFi, fibre optic output
TopTVS / TFS4+64G or 6+128G4G LTE and WiFi, RCA output, DSP

Android 15, the 1280x720 IPS panel and the RDS tuner are common to the range, and there's no HDMI output on any of them. Optional parts are separate items, not box contents: DAB+ antenna, DVR camera with ADAS, OBD2 reader, tyre pressure kit, AHD reversing camera, 360 set. For a Citroen C3 Picasso 2005-2017 Car Multimedia Player it's usually the 4G build with 6G of memory, and that's what I'd fit on a car kept five years.

Frequently asked questions

01Do I lose the gauges either side of the screen?

No. The module fills the centre window and the factory instruments stay visible on both sides, as the install photo shows. It's not a cluster swap.

02Can I keep my factory amplifier and steering wheel buttons?

Wheel controls work through the supplied harness. If your car has an upgraded sound package, the amplifier interface has to match the board you pick.

03Is the CarPlay link wireless on this one?

Yes, both are listed for every version, so there's no cable for a normal drive. Wired still works while the phone charges.

04Will it fit an early 2006 car?

The published range is the Citroen C3 Picasso 2005-2017, and that's what we can confirm today. Trim changed over twelve years, so send us your VIN and a photo of the pod first.

05Do I need to buy a separate fascia?

No. The kit is the screen module plus the control panel, and the pod shell and brackets come from your own car.

06Is it possible to add a reversing camera later?

Yes, the unit takes a camera feed and we list AHD cameras and a 360 set as separate parts. Do it with the screen if you can, because fishing that cable twice through a Citroen C3 Picasso 2012 Wireless CarPlay Retrofit wastes a Saturday.
