How to Connect a Phone to an Older Peugeot 307 Model?

First, establish a pairing relationship between the phone and the car's Bluetooth device. Turn on the Bluetooth function on both the phone and the car's Bluetooth device, and set the phone's Bluetooth to 'Visible to All' in the settings. Then, search for Bluetooth devices on the phone, and once found, select it to pair and connect. After completing the above steps, the pairing password is: 0000. Once paired, the connection will be successful.
As a veteran car enthusiast, I often help friends with their 307 phone connection issues. Most older 307 models lack Bluetooth functionality, so the most basic method for connecting a phone is via AUX: locate the 3.5mm AUX jack on the center console (marked with an 'AUX' symbol), purchase an inexpensive audio cable, plug one end into the phone's headphone jack and the other into the car. Then switch the car stereo to AUX mode to play. If there's no AUX jack, use an FM transmitter: plug it into the cigarette lighter for power, connect your phone to the transmitter via Bluetooth (or with a cable), and tune the car radio to the transmitter's specified frequency, such as 88.1MHz. Be sure to choose a locally unused frequency to minimize interference. If the sound quality is poor, you can add a Bluetooth adapter to the cigarette lighter for automatic connection. Always ensure safety by avoiding adjustments while driving, and consider consulting a mechanic to prevent circuit damage. I find this method simple, reliable, and the sound quality sufficient for daily use.
A 15-year Peugeot 307 owner shares that connecting a phone isn’t actually difficult. Using an AUX cable is the most cost-effective: confirm your car has an input port, usually near the armrest, buy a cable for around 20 yuan, plug it in, and it’s ready to use. If there’s no port, try an FM transmitter—I bought one online, plug it into the cigarette lighter, pair your phone via Bluetooth, then tune the car radio to the same frequency to play music. The sound quality is average but usable. My advice is to set it up while parked to avoid distractions while driving. If connections frequently drop, consider upgrading the car’s infotainment system with an AUX or Bluetooth module, though this costs a bit more. My tip is to regularly check the cable connectors to prevent oxidation from affecting sound quality.
