The string describes a specific workflow for updating the firmware and configuration of an RT3 (often labeled RD4) head unit found in PSA Group vehicles (Peugeot and Citroën). This process typically involves flashing the system software to enable new features or correct compatibility issues, specifically relating to the vehicle's CAN Bus communication protocol.

The most famous RT3 failure is the BSOD (Black Screen of Death). During ignition, the radio would light up, show the Chrysler logo, and then go black while the fan runs loudly. This is a software handshake failure between the 651 firmware and the CAN bus. The 663 build introduces a watchdog timer that forces a soft reboot if the handshake takes longer than 5 seconds. Result: The screen always comes on. rt3 upgrade 651 na 663 build 890 can42 new

The FJDS (Fuji 20GB) drives in these units have a terrible failure rate. CAN42 New introduces aggressive APM (Advanced Power Management).
