Peugeot 208 & Bluetooth

Post by Zx79 »

Hi, just bought a new phone and trying to connect it via Bluetooth to the cars system to stream music etc, problem Im encountering is the car can see the phone but the phone cant see the car. Has anyone got any tips ?

Ill list the process I tried to get it to work

Turned phones bluetooth on and made sure it was visible

Choose the option under communication to search for bluetooth devices on the cars screen, phone is found so tap the phone when displayed on the screen.

Previous phone was easy to connect so assumed same would be for other phones.

Thanks

What Head unit do you have (post your car's VIN if you don't kow) and what is the make and model of your phone. That might help having a bit more info, and welcome to the Forum.

Ok, threw me a bit as you have 2 'O's which should be the digit '0'! Got there in the end though.

So you have a 208 5 DOOR SALOON 1.2 i VTi (EB2) Manual gearbox 5 with the SMEG Digital Radio.
I've checked and the system supports Bluetooth Audio Streaming, so it is possible your SMEG system needs a firmware update to support newer phones.

If you hold the MENU button in until the system description screen comes up, it should tell you waht version of software your unit has. Let us know what it says.

Thanks, I typed it as written down in the book and did wonder about them, should have made a note of it from the chassis.

The software version is 3.15.B.R1

Is that right combination of letters ?

Thanks again

Ok, so there is a later version of software available. There is a video of a chap updating his below, or if you are feeling a bit feint at the prospect, you can always ask the dealer to do it for you. Sometimes they can order the update for you for a few quid - but the video shows the update process anyway :-D

They generally release new software to support new devices - hopefully yours will be included. They may also update the Bluetooth Profile as well - so it could be that your phone's Bluetooth profile is newer than your SMEG unit. Either way I hope this resolves the issue for you.
