Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Fig. 42
Information on SmartLink on the
ŠKODA websites
Read in the QR code » Fig. 42using the respective application on your external
device orenter the following address in the web browser to open the website
with information on the SmartLink communication system.
http://go.skoda.eu/connectivity-smartlink
SmartLink offers the ability to display certified applications on an external de-
vice equipped with a USB device on the device screen and to operate them.
SmartLink supports the following communication systems. ▶ Android Auto ™
▶ Apple CarPlay ™
▶ MirrorLink ®
Using the applications in the connected external device it is possible to use the navigation, to make a call, to listen to music.
For reasons of safety, the operation of some applications while driving is limi-
ted or not possible.
Depending on model of the connected external device, some applications can
be started using the voice activation, via the device screen, using the operat-
ing elements on the device or using the buttons on the multi-function steering
wheel.
The voice control of the connected external device can be activated by holding
the button 
or holding the button
 on the multifunction steering wheel.
CAUTION■
Depending on the type of the connected external device and the frequency
of use, the charging current may not be sufficient to charge the battery of the
connected device.■
To establish the connection, it is necessary that the date and time in the de-
vice are set correctly. If the date and time setting is based on the GPS signal,
then problems may arise with establishing a connection with a poor GPS signal
reception.
Note
■ During the connection process, information messages may be displayed on
the device screen, and in the phone display. These messages must be ob-
served and confirmed if necessary (e.g. Release of data transfer, enabling the
contact import, release of text messages).■
We recommend that you use extension cords from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.
■
With some connected devices, it is necessary that the connected external
device is unlocked over the entire duration of the connection for trouble-free
functioning of the SmartLink function“”.

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
connection via Bluetooth ®
as a main phone. Connecting an additional tele-
phone is not possible over the duration of the connection.
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.
