OBD security

Hi, I'm a new owner of a new C3 and after its first 1000 miles still very happy :) I'm also happy to have come across this forum where technical information is shared.

Re: Citroen C3 ORGA, RPO, RP or Birthday codes location

This is what the label looks like now: RP-label-C3_3_csw.JPG It's on the right hand side at the bottom of the B pillar, visible when you open the door. You enter the first five digits into the calculator, so in this example 15787 -> 29 January 2020. What I'm curios about: the factory code, the last ...

Follow up to myself :-)

Re: How the security system works

Thanks Ozvrt! Interesting and fun to read (should I be worried? ;-) ) Some 20 years ago I was involved in analysing the source code of an ECU similar to BSI.

Re: self-approval

Did you try the 'approve' button :D I wonder what will happen? Didn't dare to :-) So much responsibility. I guess it would just have said "please do not press this button again" :lol: Or the Universe would have imploded 8-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VimTTtmTbmQ VimTTtmTbmQ

Re: "Max" in circle on LCD display

(MAX) shows when traffic sign recognition is activated (in the config menu). If you activate speed limiter (car won't go faster than traffic sign allows), there will be an arrow pointing from (MAX) upwards to the limiting speed.

Re: 2020 fuse box layout?

Seems I have a fourth fuse box :roll:
Could this be for the tow bar socket?
I also have a rear view camera with parking sensors.
