Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
This chapter deals with the operation of a device with the telephone connec- ted via Bluetooth ®
as well as the use of the SIM-card in the external module.
Depending on the Bluetooth ®
-profile used it is possible to connect to a tele-
phone or two phones simultaneously to the device.
The SIM card in the external module can be used for data and telephone serv-
ices (applies to Columbus).
If telephones are connected to the device with multiple SIM cards, then calls
can be accepted by all SIM cards of the connected telephones.
For outgoing calls, it depends on the type of connected telephone, either only
the primary SIM card or one of the other SIM cards can be selected.
The device makes it possible to choose if you want to work with text messag-
es on the main phone (if supported by phone), or work with text messages in-
serted in the external module.
If the device to is connected to an external device via Apple CarPlay ™
, then the
use of the Bluetooth ®
Connection is not possible and the phone menu is not
available. A possible data connection via the SIM card remains operational
» page 53 .
If the device is connected to an external device via Android Auto ™
then the
connected phones and the Bluetooth ®
player are automatically disconnected
by connecting to external device and it connects to the device via Bluetooth ®
.
Connecting an additional telephone and the use of telephone services on the
SIM card via Android Auto ™
is not possible over the duration of the connection.
If the Bluetooth ®
Feature was not turned on in external device to be connec-
ted, it will be automatically switched on usingAndroid Auto ™
switched when
setting up the connection. A possible data connection via the SIM card remains
operational » page 53.
Phonebox
The storage compartment in the front centre console can be equipped with
the Phonebox function » Owner's Manual .
If a telephone is directed, with its rear side downwards, on the pad in the stor-
age compartment, the phone signal is amplified by the roof antenna.
Telephones that support the Qi standard for wireless charging, can also be charged wirelessly in the storage compartment.WARNINGThe general binding country-specific regulations for operating mobile
phones in the vehicle must be observed.WARNINGWhile wireless charging is taking place, no objects may be between the pad
and the telephone being charged.■
Metal objects can become hot due to the action of the induction field -
There is a risk of injury. If there is a metal object in the storage compart-
ment that has become hot, then take out the telephone and let the object
cool in the storage compartment!
CAUTION
While wireless charging is taking place, there may be noobjects between the
pad and the telephone being charged - thePhoneboxFunction could be im-
paired.■
With cards with a magnetic strip or chip, SD card, USB flash drives and similar
devices, there is a risk of data loss and damage to the disk.
■
Metal objects can become hot due to the action of the induction field - there
is a risk of damage to the telephone.
Note
■ At the start of the wireless charging, the appropriate message appears on
the device screen.■
For optimum telephone signal strength and uninterrupted wireless charging,
we recommend placing the phone in the storage compartment without the
protective sleeve, if possible.
■
It is normal for the telephone to heat up during the wireless charging.

Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the passen-
ger compartment.
To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing procedure is dependent on the number of telephones already con-
nected, whether using the SIM card inserted in the external module or via the
telephone using the rSAP profile » page 40, Possible connection types .
42Phone

Up to 20 external devices can be paired with the device. After reaching the
maximum number, the pairing of the next external device will replace that of
the device that has not been used for the longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling. It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
phones and make the connection.WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to the device only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of accident!
conditions for coupling

QR code with reference to the
ŠKODA websites
The telephone can be coupled with the device under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device and the telephone is switched on.
The visibility of the device and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device.
The telephone is compatible with the device.
There is no external device connected to the device using Apple CarPlay ™
.
The pairing can be initiated from the device or from the telephone.
During the pairing and connection process, information messages are dis-
played in the device screen and the telephone screen. These messages must
be observed and if necessary confirmed (e.g. enabling the contact import or
connecting the Bluetooth ®
player etc).
