Where is the Bluetooth switch on the Peugeot 308?

Peugeot 308 does not have a dedicated Bluetooth switch. You can turn on Bluetooth by switching the audio source and selecting "Bluetooth Audio". The Bluetooth technology in the car's Bluetooth system is an extension of the Bluetooth technology in mobile phones, sharing the same transmission system. The car Bluetooth is a wireless hands-free system designed and developed based on wireless Bluetooth technology for in-car use. The Peugeot 308 is a compact car, with its first model equipped with a 120-horsepower 1.6L inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine transplanted from the 207 model, paired with Michelin tires sized 215/55R16. In terms of safety, the Peugeot 308 offers multiple airbags, including rear side airbags and a driver's knee airbag, with ESP and traction control systems as standard across the entire series.
To find the Bluetooth switch for the Peugeot 308, I've been driving this car for several years. The common steps are: after starting the car and the central screen lights up, you tap the 'Menu' or 'HOME' button on the main interface, then enter the 'Settings' option. Usually, you'll find 'Bluetooth & Audio' or 'Phone Settings' in the list. After clicking, you'll see the Bluetooth switch slider—just slide it to turn it on or off. Sometimes, there's also a Bluetooth settings entry in the 'Media' menu. When pairing a new device, you need to tap 'Add Device,' and with your phone's Bluetooth turned on, it can search and connect. A quick reminder: if the Bluetooth option is grayed out and can't be toggled, the radio might not be switched to Bluetooth mode. Try pressing the 'MODE' button on the central panel to select the Bluetooth source first, or restart the infotainment system by turning off and on the ignition. The location varies slightly across different model years of the 308, but I've tried the 2017 and 2020 models, and the process is pretty much the same—quite easy to get the hang of. If you run into issues, don’t panic; just explore the screen menus a bit more.
Operating the Bluetooth switch on the Peugeot 308 is quite intuitive within the vehicle's system. Every time I get in the car, I habitually tap the central touchscreen first, navigate to the 'Settings' section in the main menu, scroll through the list to find the 'Bluetooth' entry, and then toggle the switch button to turn it on or off. When pairing a device, you need to have your phone's Bluetooth turned on for it to recognize and connect. It's recommended to perform this operation when the car is stationary for safety. Occasionally after a system update, Bluetooth might be tucked under 'Audio Settings' or 'Connection Options'—I encountered this once after an update changed its location, but the basic logic remains the same. If you frequently have trouble connecting, check if the system has the latest firmware or try deleting old devices in 'Device Management' and re-pairing. The process isn't overly complicated, but it does require some patience to familiarize yourself with the menu structure to avoid fumbling around.
The Bluetooth switch for the Peugeot 308 is located on the central control screen. After starting the car, enter the menu and select the Bluetooth option in the settings to turn it on or off. To pair a new device, choose 'Add' and enable Bluetooth on your phone to search for the car's system name. Occasionally, the switch location may change, such as moving to the media or audio menu. If issues arise, try restarting the system or consult the manual.
