device (e.g. ŠKODA Media Command).
The requirement for the WLAN function is the ignition is switched on. After
switching on the ignition, the last-used WLAN connection appears.
It is possible to connect up to 8 external devices on the device hotspot and at
the same time to connect the device to the Hotspot of other external devices.
Applies to Columbus: If there is a SIM card with active data services in the ex-
ternal module, or if there a connection to the telephone via Bluetooth ®profile
RSAP, it's not possible to connect to the external device hotspot.

Android Auto ™
Introduction to the subject
The Android Auto ™
connection can be set up under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The unit is switched on.
The external device to be connected is switched on.
Some applications require the data connection in the connected external de-
vice to be turned on.
If the device is connected to an external device via Android Auto ™
then all the
phones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
Players are disconnec-
ted. The external device to be connected will automatically establish a new
telephone connection using Bluetooth ®
as a main phone. Connecting an addi-
tional telephone and using telephone services of the SIM card inserted in the
external module is not possible throughout the duration of the connection. A
possible data connection by using the SIM card inserted in the external module
remains operational » page 53.
An external device connected using Android Auto ™
cannot be used as an audio
source in the menu Media.
If route guidance is taking place at this moment in the device, then there is
the option to start the route guidance in the Android Auto ™
application. This is
also true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Auto ™
connection supports
can be found on the ™
Google website. Functionality is not guaranteed outside
of the supported regions.
