How to resolve CarPlay issues with a new Peugeot 208 car?

Good morning. I’m a regular user of Apple CarPlay. I recently bought a new car (a Peugeot 208) and apparently CarPlay only works via a cable. To my surprise, CarPlay won’t start and my iPhone doesn’t even detect a connection… I went to the dealership where I bought the car and they told me it was an Apple issue, that lots of people had already complained, and that there was nothing they could do. The fact is that in my other car, with wireless CarPlay, I use it every day without any problems… I’ve already tried resetting the car’s software, I’ve already tried clearing the CarPlay devices on my iPhone, and nothing…

Apple has not updated their Peugot 208 CarPlay compatibility list to include 2026 or newer models. That said, have you tried a different USB-C cable than the one you are presently using? Does the Peugot 208 force you to use a USB-C to USB-A conversion cable or dongle?


Boring as it may sound, review the CarPlay docs for iOS 26 or later. Sometimes, we miss stuff… Same for the Peugot 208 user manual…
