Hi, I've just bought a used Peugeot 208 and thought I just connected my phone up but its got an apple pay link and a Mirror Link button.  When I looked at the Mirror Link app, it is a subscription/payment.  Is there a cheats way of doing this for free so I can link up my phone (maps/telephone calls) that anyone knows of?  first time I've come across this.  Thank you in advance. 03.07.23.

    Hi, its 2017 and I have an Oppo android.  But it seems when I go to download the Mirror Link app it wants to charge me a subscription fee.  Do you know anything about this type of thing? thank you.

    Have you installed Android Auto app on your phone, then tried connecting a usb cable between phone and car - try all the usb ports, inc glovebox/centre console if there are any -  might work, might not - I think Android auto was added in 2017 so might depend on when yours was built...

    I have a 2018 peugeot and as flash suggest, has the android auto connection> i've tried the mirror link before but never got it to work. If you download Android Auto on your phone, connect to the car via the USB slot (not via the 12v output), the option for Android Auto should appear. If it doesn't, the car doesn't have it.
