Hi people my name's Mick I'm new to the forum but not to Peugeot I currently work for Peugeot as a sales executive in cars 2 Barnsley where we just launched the new 108 and it seems like the new addition the the Peugeot family is a big hit as orders are coming in thick and fast as this quirky little car seems to be on every ones wish list

Hi Mick. As you're a man on the inside, can you shed a bit of light on the Mirror Link thing? From what people have been finding out, it seems that it isn't working yet.

I wish I could I've just been sat in the car for the last two hours trying to get it hook up but from my understanding the app we need is not available in the UK yet
At our dealership we have had all the specialists with all the computers hook up but nothing is missing in the software of the car as soon as I know anything I will update and as I have just got one I'm keen to use the mirror screen myself
Sorry for not been much use

Thanks for trying to find out. I guess that's the problem with being an early adopter; some bits just aren't finished yet.

We're still trying had techs on job again today but looking into it further it seems everyone from every dealership is in the same boat there will be updates out soon according to Peugeot but that's all I know I'm afraid

Any idea how soon "soon" will be? What exactly appears to be the problem in the first place?

Are you here as a Peugeot employee, or just as a regular citizen who is interested in the 108?

And welcome to the forum!

Both since I'm probably the biggest fan of the modern pugs and love the 108 especially as it's a fun car full of tech and cheap as chips to run what's not to love

How would you update it - via USB?

I do hope there is a solution. I would even design a mirrorlink app if that's the case - I've had a look at it, but it looks like CCC (the mirror link people) have a long approval process - else I would just create it. I doubt it will let you run unofficial apps.

BTW - if you've got a samsung device - if you go through their app store (GALAXY APP) you can download DRIVELINK which is one of the apps listed in one of the videos.

I'm still waiting on my Peugeot to arrive so haven't tested it.

 

[mightym]

Yes the app is there plus when you plug in a Samsung or a iPhone it prompts you to download a app called connect but when you do it all that happens is the touch screen says can not connect to device

welcome @mightym! Looking forward to your expertise and inside information

do we know what the App is at least called?

Drive Link - I think this appears to be 'the app'

MirrorLink/Drive Link

from my understanding the app we need is not available in the UK yet

The app needed for Android is Drive Link, available from Google App Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.scm&hl=en_GB

But is doesn't work on current Android releases, has not been updated for 18 months, will not download to most Android phones, there are no responses to the universally awful user experience reports, and the author email id given does not exist. All of which indicates this is a dead application.

Perhaps you can alert Peugeot management to this situation? At the very least, they need to start qualifying their PR to clarify the Android phone situation, so as to stop wasting everyone's time running around in circles trying to make the thing work!

And - hope I am wrong!!
