The new Peugeot 108 puts smartphone technology on the road
Peugeot presents its new city car and it is a breath of fresh air. Compact and naturally suited to urban journeys, the new Peugeot 108 has a chic and classy design.
It becomes the mirror of its user’s smartphone, thanks to its large touch screen and the Mirror Screen function, including the new MirrorLink and AppInCar connectivity protocols.
Connecting the new Peugeot 108 to the customer’s smartphone
Peugeot 108 brings the urban car into a new era with its large touch screen majestically placed in the middle of the dashboard.
This is because a smartphone, this eminently personal accessory, can be useful at any time. Now, it can be used inside the car as well.
The user can connect in two ways: by Bluetooth; mainly for the telephone and music player functions of the mobile phone, and by Mirror Screen; for its applications that are compatible with use in a vehicle.
This Mirror Screen function operates using MirrorLink technology for telephones running on Android, RIM and Windows, and by AppInCar for telephones running on iOS.

For obvious safety reasons, the access to applications is managed differently according to the state of the vehicle; for instance, when the car is moving, the driver can use applications useful when driving (navigation, for example, or those for infotainment).
One of its many strengths
On opening the tailgate, the shelf automatically folds away against the rear screen and reveals a boot that is generous for the category: 180 dm3 (227 litres), including the spare wheel.
