Understatement!
From memory, not on a 307 but on the cars I've plugged in, you can interrogate the radio itself, and it can log faults - sure I've seen faults about the (amplified) aerial, the MFD screen, steering wheel controls, parking sensor ECU, etc all raised by the radio itself. There's also Actuator Tests (think you can have it produce a sound on each speaker individually) so a play with that might be worthwhile too.
I've been through trying to diagnose my RD45 with a couple of users on the dedicated Audio Forum. I think we came to a dead end, but the last two screens I've seen in DiagBox about my audio system didn't show anything like that. The usual response in DiagBox is ECU not recognised, but on the last occasion when I tried to access the audio system, I did get something a bit different. I won't say it was more useful because I don't know! Anyway, these were the last two screens from DiagBox:

I'm putting my fault down as "just a glitch" and effectively fixed by IT repair option 1
Having spent a long period (I was going to type 'the best') of my working life in computer or IT support, I'm well accustomed to telling people to do exactly that!

The other two responses from me and my department that were guaranteed to fix most user errors were,
  • Is it plugged in?
and,
  • Have you turned up the brightness control?
Cheers,

Do you think he should come and fix mine, too?

He looked like he needed a bit of sun to colour his skin! :sun:
