Important information about this Owner's Manual
This Owner's Manual is valid for all types of Amundsen and Bolero infotain-
ment systems (hereafter only devices). The device may differ depending on the
vehicle model, in which it is installed in both its appearance and in the arrange-
ment of the controls.
This Owner's Manual describes all possible device functions without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, the device in your vehicle does not need to contain all of
the functions described in this Owner's Manual.
For example, if the vehicle is not factory equipped with the sound system, the
menu points
ŠKODA Surround
and
Virtual Subwoofer
are not displayed in the sound
settings menu.
The availability of some features described in this Owner's Manual depends
on the type of external devices (for example, telephone, music player, etc.).
The illustrations in this Owner's Manual are for illustrative purposes only. The
illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten-
ded to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO pursues a policy of ongoing product and model development
with all vehicles. Therefore, changes to the scope of delivery with regard to
design, equipment and technology are possible at any time. The information
provided in this Owner's Manual corresponds to the information available at
the time of publishing.
Therefore, legal claims cannot be made based on the technical data, illustra-
tions and information contained in this Owner's Manual.
We recommend that the web pages that are referred to in this Owner's Man-
ual are displayed using the classic view. Not all necessary information may be
displayed correctly if the mobile view is chosen.
Screen texts that appear in this Owner's Manual may differ slightly depending
on the texts show on the device screen.

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 ®

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 ™
