Carplay & Android Auto installation for Peugeot 308 II | The DIY Guys 

Hi Gil! thanks for the support!

Hi Olivier, we are planning to post the video for the rear backup camera very soon. Because of covid some parts took longer to arrive. Thank you for waiting and the support. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi Eduard, this is very true. We forgot to show this in our video. We will pay attention for our next videos to make sure to show every important part. You can see at 1:32 that the part under the steering wheel is removed. Thank you for the support. The DIY Guys

Thank you for this comment! Was struggling with getting the middle part removed, and gave up to investigate further. Now I see what I was missing. Thanks!!

@@misanoracing8637 Glad to help!

Is there any other solutions to connect my phone to the car screen without removing anything??

To display the phone screen on the car display the only solution is to change the display unit or to adapt the carplay adaptor. I was scared too at first that I will not succeed to do this task and the first time it took me 2-3 hours but believe me it is worth the time and effort 100%. It is so much comfortable to have the iphone on your car display when you drive even in the city but even more when you take long journeys! Or you can install it at a specialised car electronics garage! All the best! @@kaddechmongi146

We’re very glad it works! And yes, we also had the struggle with the space of the radio and the unit. But with a bit of trying it works!

don't you have any photos? Take it waiting for me..You would help me a lot. I also have a slot machine.

Tambien tengo un Peugeot 308 2017 automático y quisiera poder que funcione y poder ver videos y escuchar música. Soy de Buenos Aires Argentina. me dirias por favor donde conseguir Carplay. muchas gracias!

Heyy, did your camera still working?

We’re so glad it worked! I hope you enjoy your carplay kit!

@@thediyguys6340 thanks! I was also very surprised that it works wirelessly with my Android Pixel 5 👍🏻

That’s great! We knew it worked wireless with the iPhone. But we actually never tried it with an android phone.

Hi! Where did you buy the unit?

@@marcorl5005 Hi Marco, you can find the url to the unit in the discription of the video.

Hi Ramzi, we are planning to post the video for the rear backup camera very soon. Because of covid some parts took longer to arrive. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi, We still plan to update the car a lot. Perhaps a speaker upgrade will be forthcoming. Subscribe to be informed of the latest videos. Thanks The DIY Guys

Hi Brian, The heating control works as normal. You can switch between the original system and the carplay system. All the buttons on the steering wheel also work as before.

When you read the car through the obd port, you can see that a warning is displayed in connection with the radio. However, you cannot notice this when you use the car.

que modelo de telefono tienes, porque yo tengo un oppo con android 11 y no puedo conectarlo de manera inalambrica

segun el vendedor android va con cable

Hi Ian, please can explain how you connected AA wirelessly? I have android 11 and i connect to the unit via bluetooth. it tells me android auto is available wireless and tells me to continue on the car screen but when I click the android auto on the unit, it keeps swirling without launching. can you help pleaese. thanks

Hi Vaggos, we are planning to post the video for the rear backup camera very soon. Because of covid some parts took longer to arrive. Thank you for waiting and the support.

you can choose to connect the mobile phone via usb or wirelessly

behind display of you have the cd

Hi Maxime, It is possible to use a wireless system. You can connect the receiver to the fuse box that is under the steering wheel but I have not done it myself yet. for android auto it is necessary to use the cable from that unit, not from the car. We will show in the next video where to place the cable. Thanks, The DIY Guys

@@thediyguys6340 when you do the reverse camera vid is it going to be in addition to this system already being in the car? Thanks for the guide

@@thisrocks Hi, it will only work with the carplay unit. The’re other units available that take over your screen of the car. But you can’t just install a camera in te excisting module. I hope this helps. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi Robber, You can easily switch back to climate controle by holding the 'plist' button down for a few seconds. (04:50 in the video) it will remeber the last screen the original car radio was on. you can toggle between the carplay and the original system very fast. Thanks for watching!

yes you do, you can switch back and forth from the CarPlay unit to ther SMEG by holding the LIST button on the steering wheel (right hand). A short press of the button will activate the voice assistance (Google Assistance in my case).

Hi, I don't have an android device to test this out but indeed android auto only works with a cable. The audio will continue to play if you switch between the original interface and the new unit. It is indeed necessary to remove parts of the car to get to the screws for the unit itself.More on this in the next video. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi Marco, We will show the audio fix in our next video of the rear view camera installation. It comes very soon. Sorry for the long waiting. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi keeny1975, it comes with an seperate USB port. Thanks, The DIY Guys

yes

Do you solve the problem? Is it work with new firmware or not? Thanks

@Nikolas Baranoschi I got reverse cam working by changing to reverse cam setting in CarPlay unit to OE Camera option.

Hi Theodoros, We will upload the camera rear view installation very soon and will explain everything. We're very sorry for the long waiting. Thanks, The DIY Guys

@@ehchong where did you change this setting? I have the same scenario on mine

Hello Ali, Our car is from 2015. It will work in every Peugeot 308 T9 that has a screen. Thanks, The DIY guys

Hello Marco, how did you manage yo get audio working? I am currently using the original Bluetooth...with the painfull 3 second delay... Thank you.

@@gartxiaitor o with moudle ,aux,or phone Bluetooth in car

@@marcovalli9377 the aux, priginal bluetooth has delay

Hi, this is only for citroën or peugeot. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi Arlindo, we are planning to post the video for the rear backup camera very soon. Because of covid some parts took longer to arrive. Thank you for waiting and the support. Normally it wouldn't work without a navigation system because there is no screen to connect the carplay kit to. I hope this will help you out! Thanks, The DIY Guys

@@thediyguys6340 Hi, in 308 T9 on some variants is SMEG with touch screen, but without Navigation.

Yes, I'm having thr same Year model without navigation and I'm interesting for this carplay kit. And also does the original controls form the car are workings like AC, fun and ventilation controls ?

Hi Christian, this fits above the original radio unit behind the middle part. Normally the pressure of the cables will hold this in place. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi! Just saw your walkthrough video. Excellent!

funziona tutto.

Yes there is an option in the setting menu

Va bene

Near the screen,behind.

I put it in glove box, very easy just took off the light from the glove box and take the cables through that hole. It is more safe and easier than remove the screen and there is more space for all the cables.

@@eduardvarvara1829 can u put some pics inhere? Got my ordered one and want to install it too

@@arfpro Here it is imageupload.io/O83GUdJKgo.i

Very important, remove the cover from under the steering wheel to acces the small hole from the side where you push the clip the same like in the other side from the glove box. You will need a T20 torx for all the screws (steering wheel cover, smeg radio)

yes it is

il faut brancher la prise jack avec la fiche du boîtier. Peux tu donner à peine plus de détails STP ?

@@louisbarthelon4061 il a un câble fiche jack fourni avec le boîtier,en sortie il a une fiche noire qu il faut brancher ou il y a le gros câble fourni

@@nabcadd9475 merci. Je cherchais depuis un moment

@@nabcadd9475 Merci à vous. J'ai reçu le boitier et j'espère l'installer rapidement. Du coup il faut réactiver le son auxiliaire à chaque démarrage de la voiture avec AA ? Avez-vous essayer de brancher une caméra de recul? Je cherche où on peut reprendre l'alimentation du feu de recul mais je peine à trouver. Pareil sur le boitier il y a bien un câble RV-12v mais pas de câble de masse.

@@maximecourtois18 non j ai pas mis de caméra de recul Oui à chaque démarrage il faut activer aux , Le vendeur m a dit qu on pouvait mettre un câble ( usb aux ) ,c est à dire de brancher a l usb de la voiture, et le jack sur ce câble ,il me l a envoyé j attends de le recevoir pour voir si à chaque démarrage il se met automatiquement sur l usb

Hi Marco, the module is under the screen on top of the radio. If you have the access version of the peugeot 308 this installation will not work. You need the touch screen. Thanks, The DIY Guys

in the tunnel car and out uf were is usb and aux

Hi Marco, No idea, we don't have a dab radio. you can contact the seller for this on aliexpress. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Did you find out maybe how to bypass this? It will be so dumb if that cant be made

Please could you send me the info? Thank you in advance. gartxiaitor@gmail.com

@Nick Devlin Play anything in your iPhone and make sure the sound output is set to CarPlay in the iPhone sound control center. In the original Peugeot sound interface you should see the Aux input enabled at that point, it is enabled only if sound if coming thru. Select it, you should hear the music being played. Then switch to carplay interface and that’s it.

Antrax805 yes it supports ios and android. So it will both work. And it wasn’t a stupid question! ;)

@@thediyguys6340 Thank you for the quit anwers! Keep doing this amazing job.

Hi Sergio, the standard camera is still usable.You just have to change something in the settings on the new unit. Everything continues to work on the original radio so the gps will continue to work as well. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Yes. All the buttons on the steering wheel also work as before.

Hi Robert, Please make sure these 2 cables are connected toghetter as shown in the picture in the link below. When these 2 cables are connected toghetter you need to go into the settings of the original car radio. Go to music tab, click the blue icon, click settings, click media and put the slider to "hard/loud". If you still can't find this we will make a new video about how to fix this. drive.google.com/file/d/1EMPQ-vRV7EAUD3glLLI9YUcaIXga909q/view?usp=sharing

Hi Zack, it will not function because the screen is necessary to display the carplay unit. I hope this helps. Thanks, The DIY Guys.

I only got AA to work with Usb 1. It doesn't connect wireless it seems!? Is there a generic code for the WiFi that it creates? Pops up on the list of available networks..and still no sound option that works for my car... Did you get sound?

@@holejos I have asked vendor for advice regarding USB conection. Vendor previously said only 'some' Android phones can connect wireless AA. In the meantime I have enabled developer mode and USB debugging on the phone as stated in the manual but I will have to wait until morning to try it now. I think I did get sound when playing music from phone but had to turn the volume up very high to hear it. It would be unbearable on return to SMEG system at this level I think. I have got Carplay factory volume set to 30 in settings but will have to play around to see if I can get Carplay unit and SMEG unit volume comparable. Rushed install this afternoon but will have more time to play around tomorrow.

@@oligo33 Thanks for input. I will check this my self. I enabled debugging now to see if that allows the Wifi setup to happen. I have an Samsung S10 so should support Wireless AA?

@@holejos spent some more time on it this morning and AA now working from USB1. Vendor confirmed overnight manual was wrong saying USB2. USB developer/debugging may also have helped as I am sure I tried USB1 yesterday and it didn't work. Sound is fine just have to remember to switch to Aux in SMEG before activating Carplay unit otherwise you can still hear whatever was on SMEG when in Carplay mode. All tested working for nav voice, internet radio and Google assistant in-car. Not looked at wireless AA further but may have a play around at some point. Routed USB leads under steering wheel to side cubby where existing Peugeot USB is though I know this was removed from later models. More accessible there than in glovebox. Was looking at routing into armrest or centre cubby but too much work 🤣

@@oligo33 Temporary placed the usb ports 1 and 2 in the cubby as I how I won't need them when Wireless AA is fixed 🤣

Hi, did you connect to android auto via wireless? can you explain how it can work without cable?

Hi friend. I'm having also the sam probem, I don't know how to appear the AUX option at the beginning. The only way is I have to connect the usb flash drive with media to new port and then I can switch to aux. I'm so confused ??? Any suggestions

@@Krume79 the way I do it is that I have music automatically resuming playing when my Android phone connects. The AUX will then show up.

@@o0OJulienO0o thanks, I'll trie it. Does the telefon have to be connected to mobile data (internet)

did you connect android auto wireless? if so can you help with how you did it

Problem solved

So how did you solve it, planning to install it today so may have same issue

@@rolflemans1436 peugeot 308sw you must go to the music settings menu, select the media and set the auxiliary amplification sound to weak or strong, do not forget to validate

Hi John, yeah that's no problem it can do both at the same time. Thank You, The DIY Guys

@@thediyguys6340 i use the link in the description and the seller tells me that’s imposible to use waze and spotify at the same time. Did he tell me something wrong? Thanks

We do it all the time, it is wrong information. The unit in the discription is very good!

Hey Peter, we’ve made the video you asked about! I hope it helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BKKe80n1L3g.html

We’ve put the link to the Carplay kit in the description!

Hi Sam, you can find the link to the kit we purchased in the discription of the video, it’s still up for sale on AliExpress. Thanks, The DIY Guys

Hi huyn, You firstly have to remove the part under the steering wheel (at 1:34 you can see that this part is removed). Secondly you will have to put little plates/blades as shown at 1:32 to push at both sides on the same time on both sides. This can be tricky because you will have to feel the metal plates on the inside from the middle part bounce and then pull the middle part at the same time. It will be handy for a person to help you with this. It will take some practice, this was not easy for us easy. I hope this helps! Thanks, The DIY Guys

Bedankt voor je uitleggen, als je toch bezig kan je ook laten zien hoe je moet de deur paneel uithalen, omdat ik wil de speakers gaan vervangen, die is namelijk kaduuk?

Moi aussi j aimerais savoir,où il a mis le boîtier ?

@@nabcadd9475 under the smeg if you don't have cd,i have the cd and the box i put behind the monitor.

Marco Valli the box work without wireless with iphone ? The sound working with CarPlay ?

@@nabcadd9475 i don't known,l have not iPhone,Only Android with cable.for the sound you must cable with aux's car the cable in dotation

For me it was also very hard. I used the plastic tools that you use to remove the screen in mobile phones. I broke 4 of them :P. Anyway, it is not necessary to remove the air vents at all.

Just external parties

No, we’re from Belgium.

Hi Mahyar, it works with all peugeot's that have an SMEG radio. You can see in the manual if your radio is SMEG. Thanks, The DIY Guys

No sorry, we only own the peugeot 308 shown in the video. Thanks, The DIY Guys

@@thediyguys6340 OK :)

I have also this problem! My car is 508.

Hi, no sound appears to be a common issue. Most of my experience is from AA use but I have had Carplay working on a test phone also. A few things to check Are you connecting USB in media transfer mode not just charge mode? This can be set as default USB mode in Android via developer menu, not sure what process is on iPhone but then I don't recall it asking for mode when I briefly connected iPhone so mode may not be an issue on iOS? Once you have connected and established AA/Carplay connection it has to be playing/outputting media via Spotify, internet radio etc before you switch back to SMEG audio to select AUX input. Otherwise AUX will not show in SMEG as selectable unless it is under 'input'. Until AUX is selected in SMEG you will not hear audio in AA or Carplay, just whatever radio or music you had on SMEG before switching to Carplay unit. However, despite the odd glitch I am now able to reliably play sound through system without additional cables if I follow the same routine = start vehicle -> connect phone to USB1 -> switch to Carplay unit -> establish AA connection (with music/radio output, easier just to use 'auto resume media' setting in AA) -> return to SMEG and select AUX -> return to Carplay unit with all sound working. I also disabled 'auto-launch' for AA when connected to car via (Peugeot) bluetooth to reduce potential conflicts. I prefer to establish AA connection via USB only as it seems to make the process more consistent and stops AA starting on phone before unit establishes its own connection. I did notice that the iPhone appears to be a little slicker at connecting both wired and wireless (no prompts for USB mode etc.) when I tested one but as I am not a frequent iPhone user I have not explored this further. If nothing else I assume the same would apply about Carplay having to be outputting something before you try to select AUX in SMEG. I am frustrated on you guys behalf who are having to use extra cables etc. as I have this working quite well with no additional cables. I am just wondering what the difference could be besides our phones? Is it differences in car spec? Mine is a 2015 308 SW Allure with factory reversing camera and the additional USB next to steering wheel which disappered due to cost cutting later on. I am happy to share more detailed AA/phone settings with anyone if this will help.

@@oligo33 Hi, thank you for your answer. Now it is working. Yes, there is a little conflict, when iphone is connecting automatic and through wifi. It is little bit tricky, you must something play on iphone, then go back to menu and then choose aux. But for now, factory reverse camera is working, i dont have any additional cable, so i am satisfied and recommend this extra system.

@Nikolas Baranoschi yes, i had to change settings, but for now it is working.

Hi again, been a while. Thanks for your tips. I seem to have an other issue. Have never used my AUX in car. It seems not to work in my car. Trying to play some media Using 3.5mm cable directly to the car AUX port, but the AUX doesnt light up in The source setting in SMEG. Is there any other way to connect audio?

Hi, The unit does not support wireless android auto, only wired/wireless Carplay or wired Android Auto. Thanks, The DIY Guys

It works with iphone,and carplay is better you jave the options with cable and wireless
