Welcome to Android Central! Does your car's system have Android Auto? Which Peugeot do you have, and what model year?

Good morning B.Diddy and thank you for the welcome and replying to my question.

My cars system has mirrolink, I downloaded Android Auto onto my s8 but it would only work on my phone.

My car is a Peugeot 208 Active 2015 65 plate.
Hope this helps..
Ps I'm a novice.

Sorry this is the only way i could post.

I merged your posts. Sorry, but it looks like the forum software is still acting up. I was getting that "Exceed spam threshold" error last week as well -- I'll let the site admins know that it's still a problem for some people.

It sounds like MirrorLink is pretty picky in terms of compatibility: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/s8-s8-mirrorlink-t3589161. What version of MirrorLink is the car system running? Can you ask your local Peugeot service center if there are any firmware updates available?

Thank you for merging my post...
I will try and find out the version and if there are any updates available...
It's so frustrating as maps are on the home screen of the app but not on the car screen..

I assume Google Maps was preinstalled on your phone -- what happens if you uninstall all updates to that app, and just use the factory-installed version?

Thank you..will see if I can do that..did clear cache ..

Hi there no still not working and the sound is screeching when I talk to it ..

 

[B. Diddy]

Ugh. I'm guessing it's an incompatibility with either the phone or with its current Android version. This kind of thing is not unusual for factory-installed car systems. New phones and Android system updates happen relatively frequently, and the IT for the car companies don't always keep their firmware up to date to stay compatible with everything. Have you had a chance to contact Peugeot directly about this? I wouldn't be very optimistic about their support team, but you never know.

Never mind thank you for your help..i might pop to the Peugeot garage or post on their site...
Thank you x
